Moebius Syndrome Awareness

Today is Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day and Laura has chosen to highlight this cause through her weekly challenge.

This challenge is a String Theory challenge, and is one extremely close to Laura's heart.
The string she challenged us to use is the logo associated with Moebius syndrome, as is the colour purple.

Laura explains why she chose this challenge on her blog.

Here's my tile:

Zendala Dare 41

Erin's template for this week's dare is a complete contrast to the last one; a curvy, organic one compared to the angular, geometric feel of the last one.


And that's what I love about the dare, it pushes me out of my comfort zone and forces me to do things differently...


I also used a few tangles that were new to me and a few old favourites;
Olb, Nelumba, Warangie, Loblolly, Hekzee & Betweed.



Happy tangling...

Phicops


Laura's first challenge of 2013 is a special challenge from the Use My Tangle series.

The tangle she challenged us to use is that of her husband, B-rad, called Phicops.

Laura shows the step out for Phicops on her blog.

I also took the opportunity to try another new tangle, X, and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!

Happy tangling...

Zendala Dare 39 - ZenDon't

As it's the first dare of the month (and 2013), it comes with an extra challenge from Erin.

With this template don't do whatever you normally do...


So here's what I chose not to do:
1. Don't use the template as it is - make changes
2. Don't make it symmetrical - this is REALLY hard to do!
3. Don't choose the patterns, select them at random (apart from Palrevo which I really wanted to try!)

And here's how it turned out:
I'm so pleased with this!


Tangles used Nzeppel, Chainging, Striping, Assunta, Braze, Drupe, Palrevo, Tripoli, Hurry, Squid, Keeko and Paradox


Happy tangling...
