This week’s diva challenge is String Theory: Stripes, aka ‘Stripeyness’. In other words, we are to draw stripes as our string and tangle away. Simple!
For my tile, I drew a series of horizontal, diagonal, and vertical stripes, and then tangled away. Tangles include: Meer, Greek, Queen’s Crown, Cloudfall, Trimond, Lealad, Ionic, Heartline, and XYP. Yeah, I wanted to practice a whole bunch of tangles in one go.
This week’s diva challenge is to create a tile using the pattern CanT. This brand new tangle was discovered at a CanTangle workshop by Chris Titus, CZT this past summer. CanT gets it’s name from CanTangle. A step out is available at the link above.
CanT is a very versatile grid pattern with almost limitless variations. It was fun to give this new tangle a try and I am pleased with the result. Thanks Laura for sharing this new tangle!
In “It’s A String Thing” challenge #108 we are asked to use string 108 (by CZT Joan Delony) from TanglePatterns. It is a squares within squares sort of string which naturally makes one think of grid patterns. The tangles of choice this time are Cubine, Lanie, Chemystery, and/or Printemps.
The challenge was a lot of fun! I hadn’t drawn Cubine in a while so it felt good to get back to basics for a bit. Chemystery was new to me (I had seen the pattern before but hadn’t used it in a tangle yet) and I found it interesting to draw. I love the look of Lanie all together so I placed the tangle inside the smallest square. Lastly I used large and small spirally Printemps to form a frame.
