I have got to stop having to do so many posts and link ups each time I sit down to blog. Yeah, like that is going to happen. But it did sound really good and progressive, didn't it?
Day 180, I worked on Suzy Mosh's New to Me challenge. We had to use a new tangle and it needed to start with the letter N. We also had to use a tangle by Neil Burley. I love his stuff. It is very complicated and mathematical looking - but not once he breaks it down. Fun! Just so happens I found a tangle that starts with an N, nabu, and also is one of his! I also added a nzeppel border. That is not a new one - it is a favorite go to one.
Also today I worked on the Made by Joey challenge. Another letter of the alphabet had to be used - D. It didn't have to be a new tangle but it is sort of. I used Dugwud for this monotangle.
Tuesday was a busy day and I didn't have a lot of time for art work. I did work in Diva's challenge for day 181. It was monotangle with tipple. That for me was sort of hard. So I used color to help separate the spaces and make the flower show up. I needed the rhythm of this rather mindless tangle. Bill paying day and the first of the month hassle is always a headache.
I am sure I have mentioned how much I love Carol Ohl's Tangle-A-Day calendar. I use this space to do challenges or try new tangles or just jot my thoughts down, sort of like a diary. On day 182, Wednesday, I finished this page. The large white unfinished space is for some diary type notes that I didn't want to show. The rest were spaces I used to try out some tangles that I used up above or just play.
The last two photos were other things I did today. I worked and finished my math bulletin board for school. The photos are not very clear, but I decided on a western theme. Lots of cowboy stuff. It should be really cute. One board down and 3 more to cut.
Well, "pardner" thanks for dropping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!!
Wow you have been busy. Your calendar sounds and looks great. Clever use of colour with the tipple and I like the soft purple and greens in your first tile. Good luck with your cowboy stuff
ReplyDeleteA lovely Tipple flower.
ReplyDeletevery nice tipple
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! I like the colors in your TNTM tile. Thanks for being part of the challenge this week and good luck in the raffle!
ReplyDeleteAll are lovely! Especially I like the journal page!

Everything is wonderful as always! Your Dugwud reminds me of a piece of fabric sort of scrunched up. I love how the tangle fits into the shapes that the string creates. Your sketch book looks fantastic as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating!

Oh, you ran with Nabu for the N challenge. I dinked around with it, but couldn't get it right for the life of me...But what a lovely piece you ended up with. It looks like an actual tile, like from a backsplash or something. And the dugwud piece...that wonky grid and your shading in pink...looks good!
