Weekly Challenge #286

Greeting Fellow Tanglers!

The challenge over at i am the diva this week is Straight to It!

Straight lines for everything, or at least as straight as I can make them! I started out with a string that used my initials. I found that I really really had to concentrate on those straight lines, so it wasn’t a zen for me as it could have been. In the first tile I used IX, Nexton, and Paradox. I found that there was not as much contrast as I would have liked so I used some shading to hopefully help with that.

On my second tile, I again used my initials for the string and for tangles used a straight line version of Piza, Palreva, Phroz, Shattuck, Knase and Braze.

 

Finally, I had had enough of the straight lines and decided to throw some curves into an artist trading card.

  

The Diva and her Niece also had a fine time at Paint Nite. I had to include my photo from the night my friend Stacy and I went to Paint Nite, here in Minnesota. Same subject, different color palette.

 Thanks for stopping by, and for all of your lovely comments!

They do make my day!

Have a great weekend and Tangle on!

Weekly Challenge #285

The challenge from the diva was to relax and get back some of that Zen while tangling this week. I almost always tangle this way. This past year especially. It has been my escape from the dealings with my husband’s dementia and all that that entails. I started this on out with a basic string, and used some of my go to tangles, ones that I didn’t have to think about. 

 Tangles used; Onamato, Printempts, Paradox, Purk, Yincut, Poke Leaf, and Poke Root.

 For the second little bijou I just started without a string and let it go where it wanted to go.

 

 Tangles used: Tipple, Printempts, Zinger, Poke Leaf, Herzlbee, Schnucki-bee-Doo, Msst.

Weekly Challenge #284

Greetings fellow Tanglers!

It was a short, fast, furious summer for me this year and with all the stuff continuing to go on with my hubby, I didn’t really do any tangling at all. Usually summer is my time to really go to town, but not this year. Decided I had to break that habit, and carve out a little time again. I will say that I am feeling a little rusty! I am already back to school again, and almost done with week three.  It almost feels like I never left! The challenge this week from the diva is a monotangle using Tripoli. Here is my tile for the week.

Here’s a little bijou tile with some different ways to embellish Tripoli, so I have a collection of possibilities.

I also did last week’s challenge but never did get the time to post it so here is that one using Center Square by Aleesha Satta, CZT.

Have a great weekend and Tangle on!
