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...

And this is what I came up with:

Using Dyon, Miander, Rounded Flukes, Socc, Prestwood & Golven
