A week with challenges...


This is a great pattern to draw.




It's been a while since I participated in this challenge. I find it very... Challenging... Which means it takes time.
This time I am familiar with both tangles so I gave it a shot...
Hopefully I cracked the code this time!




String #6, Jax, Jetties


Inside my sketchbook
I saw this on pinterest and had to try it... Lots of straight lines and no thinking, it's so relaxing...


When I was a kid, I loved playing fold-man. I still do. And so do my kids. We use small pieces of paper, move them around to see which combinations looks funny.







Ann, Allium, Alicat
Two new tangles under my belt this week as I already knew Ann.

The Polka Dot Tangle!

"Text"

 This was one of the tougher ones for me... Thought about drawing a cell phone, but couldn't figure out what to put in the text so I gave up on that idea...
Finally I decided to just write text, synonyms for the word text...
(((((((((((((((After reading this line you will only remember the word content appearing once! Oh, and that it is the most amazing inchie! Snap!)))))))))))))

"The POLKA DOT TANGLE"
This was a fun challenge!
No string, only circles and no overlapping...
Voxter, Hurakan, Vitrivius, Jetties, Inapod, Black Pearls

I wasn't really sure whether to grab a micron or to jump on the floor and get in to a suitable position for the POLKA DOT TANGLE! (It just feels like you have to shout that cool name while trowing your arms wide open...)

I decided to go all in on the polka dots because, well, I just love polka dots!
So I'm pulling my creative license card to overlook the part about each dot being filled with different tangles and spilling a handful of black pearls all over my tile...

Feeling the love for this one! I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with for the POLKA DOT TANGLE... (Just had to say that again...)

Thank you to everyone who has left me comments, you are all so sweet!

Going Diva style...

I just love this weekend... So much time and nothing at all that I have to do...
The cleaning is out of the way - the laundry is done...
We're having leftovers for dinner today... Easy peasy...

I am so feeling the zen...

So much I decided to do the Diva challenges all the way from #1...
Well maybe not all today...
But the first 6 then... Great challenges!
I also decided to use only tangles that I already know - a little practice is good...
All though Ixorus is new - I really love that one... It's a keeper!

Diva #1: Simplicity - Tangle used: Mooka
Diva #2: Two pencil string - Tangles used: Up N Down, Copada, Cresent moon, Unyun, Agua
Diva #3: Eyes Wide Shut - Tangles used: Isochor, Locar and some swirlyness
Diva #4: Starry Eyed Surprise - Tangles used: Arukas, Joy, Indy-rella, Ahh
 Diva #5: Orbs - Tangles used: Tipple, Chainlette, Jetties, Cruffle, Sedgling, Nipa, Vitrivius, Bulb lantern
Diva #6: Ixorus - Tangles used: Ixorus, Isochor, Ahh


I'm feeling the love for #4...  And for the music the Diva supplied for it...

It's a keeper!

tackle it tuesday

This week the letters are J-A-N...



Tangles used:
J - Jetties
A - Amphora

String #3 from tanglepatterns.com

The only tangle I know that starts with an A is amaze, which I'm not all that fund of...
So I popped by tanglepatters.com and on the A list I found Amphora... I really like the look of it and it's really nice to draw... It's a keeper!
