Tangled on the Inside

For this challenge, set back in October 2011, Laura used inspiration from Jo in NZ.
The idea for this challenge was to use one tangle as the 'string' and then fill in all the spaces with other tangles.  A tangle within a tangle....

My new favourite is Sand Swirl, so that’s what I used to form the string. I also used Sand Swirl in the centre and then worked outwards using Braze, Coaster, Khirkee, Knaze, Hypnotic, and a tiny bit of Paradox.
I enjoyed tangling on the inside!

Happy tangling...

Pinwheels for Peace

Back in September 2011, Amy Broady suggested this challenge, to celebrate the International Day of Peace on September 21st

This is the second Pinwheel for Peace challenge that I've done, as earlier this year I drew the pinwheel you can find here.

This time I decided to make an actual pinwheel. I used just two tangles; Bloom on the front of the square and Coaster on the back. When I put the pinwheel together I used a little bit of IX right in the centre.

Happy tangling...

Initialise

Another guest challenge in the String Theory series, Initialise was set by Christina Vandervlist from stART, back in July 2011.

The challenge is to use your initials as the string - simple! And challenging...

So here is my string:

And here is the final piece:

Tangles: Reticulated, Unyun, Coaster, Fescu

I like the idea of using initials as the basis of a Zentangle... I think it's a lovely idea for Zentangle gifts.
Happy tangling...
