Challenge #61 UMT/GOLVEN

This week's DIVA challenge is another in the UMT (Use My Tangle) series.  I was happy to see that the tangle chosen was from Mariët.  I have been a big fan of her work for some time and love the tangle Golven (which is the dutch word for waves).

Coincidentally, I just returned from a trip to the ocean.  We went to visit a good friend of mine that retired the same time I did.  Her and her husband built a canal home on Padre Island off the coast of Corpus Christi, Texas. We took a couple of trips to the ocean to walk up and down the beach, looking for shells, and just plain enjoying the sound and sights of the ocean and each others company.   The beauty of the waves breaking, one after the other, inspired my tile for the challenge this week. 

Thank You, Laura & Mariët for another lovely challenge!
