The new tangle "quib" is lovely! I love the flowing lines and the feel it gives a piece. I didn't have a hard time doing the tangle, I just struggled how to make it work on a tile for me. It is a tangle I will want to use a lot more that this one time.
I teach an after school art club each week at my school. I allow 3rd - 5th graders to sign up. Then I am faced with the hard task of choosing around 18 to participate. I say hard because I usually have around 80 + to sign up. Lots of times I will just put the names in a bag and draw them out. In years past I have done a variety of arts and crafts. This year, I decided on tangling exclusively. Overall, I have some very talented and dedicated young tanglers. I challenged them last week to look around their world at patterns. Then to find one and come up with the step-out. I told them if they did and could "teach" me the tangle I would post it here on my blog. So without further ado - "TA-DA"!
Zoe was the only one to have a go at my challenge. She is a 5th grader and a very talented artist. I am proud of her work, not only here but in all of the pieces she has done for class. I hope you enjoy Zoe's hard work!
Ah, we are cruising down on Thanksgiving break! Yeah! I am so looking forward to resting, working on Christmas presents and getting the house clean and ready for my Christmas tree. Have a great week and thanks for dropping by.
Your Quib is lovely, I like the black orbs in it.
ReplyDeleteCompliments for Zoe!!!
Love the black pearls on the quib strands, and tell Zoe that her tangle is great! I have been teaching kids tangling too, and currently have an enrichment class that is only doing that. I hadn't thought about challenging them to come up with a tangle. I am also looking forward to Thanksgiving break! Have a good one!
