The Diva announced the Weekly Challenge #263 as follows:
"This week's challenge
a grid based challenge, with a bit of a twist.
The challenge is
create your grid on a circle and make it globular. Here's how to do it!
I drew a
light string onto a blank renaissance zendala tile, then i made two parenthesis
type lines ( ) down the centre of the tile.
From there, i just
added more parenthesis lines, meeting at the tops and bottoms.
then i
turned my tile 90 degrees and did the same.
Once your grid is complete, tangle away!!"

I used a round tile (actually a coaster) from some I had purchased a couple of months ago. The surface is not as smooth as I would like and they do suck up the ink like crazy, but otherwise, they work well. Well, I got a little carried away with drawing the grid and made the squares too small, so it took forever to fill them in with the pattern. I decided to use Hypnotic which, because I had to use it so many times, and in so small of spaces, was rough on my eyes. By the time I was finished, I felt as though I could hardly focus them. It was fun though and it did go rather quickly.
Here is the final result:

As always, comments and criticisms as welcome!!
That is it for now.
