IAST Challenge 181


This is my very first Tickled To Tangle: "It's a String Thing" challenge tile, #181. I didn't send it in...I was a bit too late, but it was still fun doing it.


Patterns: Pozer, Puf, Flukes







January 2017 Refreshers


My personal tangle pattern learning challenge - going through all the refreshers on the tanglepatterns.com site, picking them randomly. This keeps away the headache of having to choose a new pattern, but leaves the slight ache of choosing which refresher to tackle.

Linda Farmer's refresher #114


Patterns: IX, Gord, Uni, Pomx2, Croscro



Linda Farmer's refresher #4


Patterns: BTL Joos, Warped Eggs, Linked, Pokeroot, Waves



Linda Farmer's refresher #5


Patterns: Worms, Puf, Black-eyed Peas, Bulb Lantern, Pane



Linda Farmer's refresher #141


Patterns: Harfe, X-ess, Quickzly, Dicso, Hibred



Linda Farmer's refresher #51


Patterns: Pea-Nuckle, Chainlea, Unme, Me Three
and some Tipple to help out

Alphabet Challenge Letter D


This is my week! MadeByJoey's letter challenge #149 this week is for D. I like it and went right away to work on the tiles - well, in my case the yellow notepaper. I was lucky, too, that I had just finished tanglepatterns.com refresher #141, which includes Dicso, so I was warmed up.


This is my favorite of the two. I don't think I have ever used red in a tangle, leaning more towards less dominant shades, but had I not, maybe nobody would see the D. It is there.

Patterns: Dicso, Dwaveb, 'D'ipple, Dragonfly wing pattern



Black & White, my Second Thought, inspired by a drawing session that lasted well after midnight. Sometimes I just can't let go.


Patterns: Dicso, D-Vine




Update Jan 26

After I drew the two Ds I went back to my own challenge of doing all the refreshers on tanglepatterns.com site. I chose them randomly and presently in the works is #51. However, in the back of my mind I was thinking that I had broken my own 'alphabet challenge tradition'...I have no lowercase 'd' (and 'a'). So back to the D-drawing board it was and here it is.

Patterns: Dicso, Drobbles, Diamantbee

Alphabet Challenge Letter C


Here we go for the letter C using tangle pattern Cat-Kin. This time MadeByJoey made me work. I just couldn't get it done. The idea was in my head, but transferring it to paper was a real challenge, although I like Cat-Kin. Anyway, after several sketches with liberal use of the eraser and over several days and several copies... I still shake my head. Hope up for 'D'.


Here the first. Full of mistakes that in tangle are no mistakes.


Patterns:  Cat-Kin, Cadent, Croon



Here I tried to make it better


Patterns:  Cat-Kin, Cadent, Croon



Then I tried a lowercase 'C', hope for better results.


Patterns: Cat-Kin, Chainging, Curly-Q



And finally my chainging croissant..


Patterns: Cat-Kin, Chainging, Cornerz

Alphabet Challenge Letter B


It is 'B' time. MadeByJoey gave us the second letter in the alphabet for this week, challenge #147, with a pattern I hadn't done yet. It looks like Betweed, but is not Betweed, it could be Betweed, but no, it is not. It resembles a 2/3 Paradox, but no, it is not Paradox either... It is B-Twixt. Confusing, confusing.


This is my Capital letter 'B'....


Patterns:  B-Twixt and Beaded



...and this is my lowercase 'b'.


Patterns: B-Twixt and Beadlines

Alphabet Challenge Letter A


MadebyJoey's new challenge for 2017 is the Alphabet. I thought I give it a try and look how far I will be able to follow Joey. However, I already made a mistake. I misread her 'A' letter post and made my own 'A'-string (as allowed) , but also selected different 'A' patterns, completely ignoring the "A-Dalpha" pattern. Oh well, so I had to draw two 'A' letter tangles. Ha! I am already one tangle ahead.

This  is the culprit 'A'
I used the tangle patterns Akoya, Amaze and Autumnal




Here the real 'A' with the A-Dalpha pattern



This was actually just a draft, but I didn't have the heart to trash it, so I put some last touches to it.

Patterns used: A-Dalpha and Asterix.



These are 'A's I made in May 2016 when I came along the beautiful pattern 'Kiss' by Katie Booth. Skip over to tanglepatterns.com for the steps.


Pattern: Kiss


And in color


Patterns: Kiss, Chillon, Tipple, Fescue, Flux



Update 30 January 2017: Finally, I caught up with my tradition to draw a capital letter tile and a lowercase tile for the same challenge. Lowercase 'a', here we go.

Patterns: A-Dalpha, Arc Flower, Arcocuatro
