I'm the Diva #237
Guest blogger: Charlotte Carpentier
Challenge: Make a string with a template and dye

I'm retired, but was a computer programmer for 32 years which means that I started before there were PC's and applications like Word, Excel, Photoshop, etc. and we had to draw our flow charts by hand and could use a stencil made by IBM to draw the various shapes. I've decided to use this stencil. I've used acrylic paint thinned with water in a spray bottle. The colour is raw umber and you can hardly see it - should have used something darker :)

Tangles used:
Phrox and Fassett - Lynn Mead
Paradox, Printemps, Florz - Zentangle
Maryhill - Betsy Wilson
