Diva Challenge #88: Official Tangle: IX

I started this tangle at the beginning of the week, but it appears as though I'm fighting off the seasonal cold or allergies, so I didn't really have a chance to work on it much.  I did most of it today, while waiting for my car to be serviced at the dealership.  Each week, I try something new.  This week, I tried my hand at a "defined string".  I think I kinda like it.  IX, on the other hand, is not all that new to me.  I did try it s.e.v.e.r.a.l. times when it was first introduced, and I really just couldn't get the hang of it.  This time around, I think I made some improvement.  Also, I decided to "draw outside the lines" in past Diva challenge fashion.  Not sure if I like it here; I'm on the fence about it.   

Additionally, I was inspired by "soda bubbles" at our office pizza party yesterday, and that is reflected here, as well.  Speaking of pizza, I picked one up after I left the dealership and waited a few minutes for it.  I decided to sit at a table near the cash register to put some finishing touches on this week's challenge.  The very nice young lady behind the register complemented my tangle saying that she thought my "artwork" was "lovely".  Artwork????  Not bad!!....considering that I'm really feeling under the weather and I think it shows in this week's challenge submission.   

Thanks for visiting!  Have a great week!

All the best,
