Tangles used = Variations of Bales
The Diva set an interesting challenge this week. It appears to me that last weeks challenge crept into my tile, or maybe I just like a lot of contrast. We were to takes bales for a spin. Explore tangelations of this original pattern. I did just that on a scrap of paper and came up with at least 7 variations and then used 4 of them in my tile. Laura's challenge is here. Did you see the side walk chalk art she did with her son's. It's awesome.
I went to tangle patterns to look for a string to use. I chose to use one I found while surfing the third anniversary challenge. There is a link to Zentangle and one of Maria's blog posts here. I used her post as inspiration for my string.
I slipped inside today while the rain came down, again.
I got lost in this tile and found that special place this afternoon. The one you go to when you are totally mindful of the present moment. It's very relaxing for me. So is the garden and the rain has stopped, so I'll head back out there now.
Oh my, that's quite wonderful! The shading, of course, makes it superb, and all the little dit-dots are like a lacey edge. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret, i like that term dit-dots.
DeleteI like the way you weaved the variations to give the feel of overlapping ribbons. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteThat idea came from Maria Thomas. Have a peek at her blog post that I have linked in my post.
