Duo tangle - Jonqal and Opus

In September 2011 Laura set us the challenge of completing a tile using just Jonqal and Opus.

So here it is!

Happy tangling...

Zendala Dare 31

So this is the template for Erin's Zendala Dare this week:

Dare 31

I love geometrical patterns and the Maths teacher part of my brain finds it particularly pleasing :D

And here's my Zendala:

Black & White
Tangles: Jonqal; Socc; Hi-Cs; Gloven; Tripoli; Fescu

With added Blue

I had fun with this one, and put my 005 Micron to good use with the Gloven.
Can't wait for the next one!

Happy tangling...

This was a challenge in the String Theory series, originally set back in July 2011 by a guest challenger, Sue Jacobs.

Wow - I love this challenge! Strings have always been a problem for me, and in this challenge Sue has handed me a fantastic way to come up with my own strings... Tie a weight to an actual length of string, set the weight down on the tile and let the string fall!

For my string I used my headphones! So here is my string:

Then I got tangling...

Unshaded

And here is the final Zentangle:

Tangles: Floo, Jonqal, Locar, Ibex and Paradox

I think I'll use this technique again!
Happy tangling...
