Out with the green, in with the rose...

Joey's weekly tangle challenge #52: "Rose in a Sphere"

Rose in a sphere...
This was a though one!
I'm not ecstatic... If you read yesterdays post, you know that I messed up the Rose pattern and pretty much gave up on the whole thing...

But after sleeping on it... No, I'm not giving up on more than half an hour work!
Grabbed a sharp blade and cut out the square that I messed up! Then taped a little piece of paper on the back of my sphere, voilá (well, that's what we say in Denmark when we think we have been really smart!) Now you can hardly even see it...

It does look round, but the edges looks flat. Maybe it's the black... I studied Margaret Bremner's sphere (which by the way is amazing!) and thought I did what she did, but no...

This was no walk in the park... But I still had fun doing it...
Can't wait to see what Joey thinks up for next week...

Tangled Thursday: Use the tangle "Zopfe"

Zopfe is a really lovely tangle that I have never used before, so I am very happy to take part in this challenge and fall in love with yet another tangle...

I kept it simple to get well acquainted with Zopfe and only added Beadlines...
The string I did by making a loop on each side of the border...
Now, this tile, I am very happy with!

Breaking the Saturday Zen...

One of the most annoyingly zen-breaking things is when you mess up a pattern!
And I just did that... Big time... There's no saving it... It's either a doover, a finish and deal or a trash...

This was for Joey's weekly tangle challenge of using pattern Rose in a sphere...
 This was going pretty well... Then... :(

I did however managed to finish a couple of things today without messing up...

My son is going to a birthday party tomorrow and I made this little card for the present he's bringing.


Another card. This one for my boss' 40 year anniversary.
40 years, isn't that amazing?

Yesterday I finished a tile for...
 
New to me B-tangles:
Balo by Hsin-Ya Hsu, Beadlines by Margaret Bremner, Binial by Cindy Angel
Btwined by Pegi Schargel and Borbz by Rita N.
Also two non-B tangles; Footlites and Vano.

Beadlines is a new favorite of mine. I have a strong feeling it will be used a lot!
Balo is so very beautiful, but I can't seem to get it as pretty the creator. Practice, practice...
Btwined is so great with blacked holes. I just made it too small... More practice...
