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...

Hey Mickey, You're So Fine...

It feels like there's been no time between the last challenge and this one... but that's because I was very late getting going on Socc! But I'm on holiday this week!! And this week's challenge was SOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!!

Welcome to the Mickey Challenge, set by guest challenger, Courtney Frantz.

In this challenge Courtney challenges us to do a Mickey Mouse inspired tile, as November 18th is Mickey's birthday - the day Steamboat Willie was released.

So I started with overlapping Ms to form my string:

MM String

And then I watched Steamboat Willie which is posted on the challenge and was inspired! I even came up with a new tangle (at least I think it's new... please tell me if you know otherwise) based on the big bow Minnie often wears.

Mickey Vermal; Pluto bones IX; Mickey tangle;
Minnie's Polka dots, Flowers and Bows

Colourful Mickey!

As I said.... SOOOOOOOO much fun.

Happy tangling...
