Diva Challenge #79 - Citius, Altius, Fortius

This week the Diva's challenge come's from guest blogger, CZT Rho Densmore.  She has challenged us to create a tile in the spirit of the upcoming olympic games.  The games motto is "Citius, Altius, Fortius", which means "Swifter, Higher, Stronger".


The Olympic symbol of five interlocked rings was created by the Olympic committee in 1894 to symbolize the 5 continents that at the time, participated in the games.


When choosing tangles for my tile, I decided not to go for the traditional rings but rather disks created by using the tangle Printemps.  The other tangles I chose don't have much significance, as they pertain to the games, they are just tangles that I thought flowed well together.  I hope you enjoy.

Tangles: Pokeleaf, Printemps, Beadlines,
Huggins, Hollibaugh

    I really like the way you have your circles entwined in each other like when we did the "auraknots" last week. What a great idea!
