So while I was doing my tangle for the challenge I had a fun idea...
This is the result of said idea.

Challenge #104

I haven't done much tangling lately... I've been rather busy with work and exercise and life.
But my employer was kind enough to give me an extended holiday.
Without pay. >_<
And now I have an over-abundance of time to fill until I have a job again. So here's weekly challenge #104

I tried out lots of new patterns and it was lots of fun.Almost like starting for the first time again ^_^

I'm still alive and drawing ^_~

So it's been quite some time since I've posted. I blame it on the fact that I moved and took two months to get around to setting the internet up. It is now done so here you are. Some of my tangles from the last couple months.

This is one of my favorites. I love how it turned out.

The top tangle is a variation of Hibred that I like to call Mountains

The bottom tangle is one I designed and named Wicker

The top left tangle is one I call Twill. It's based on a basic weaving pattern and took me a while to get right

As you can tell I have much more fun doing Zentangle inspired art. I find the 3.5" square gets kind of boring and come up with more interesting shapes to fill. I also like making new patterns or modifying old ones. If you have questions about them let me know and I'll post some instructions

Daily Double

So this post gets the results from two challenges, this week's using straight lines. I had fun with this one because I tend to prefer grid patterns and straight lines over circles

And last week's using only your non-dominant hand, so for me all left-handed. I found this one intriguing, but enjoyable. It took a little longer cause I was concentrating more on what I was doing.

 So I have realized that I'm not a dedicated blogger... *shrugs* Oh well. Other things are more important to me, like baking, or being social, or riding my bike now that the weather is nice enough again. But here are some recent tangles ^_^  The first two are from a challenge to use only one pattern for the whole tile. It was fun.

Using Betweed - I have to say I love the variations you can do with this pattern

Striping

 

 

 

 

 This is one I did just because. The two in the bottom are variations I've come up with to make things more interesting, and I think it adds more character to the pattern. The one on the left I want to call Mountains because it's all pointy and so are mountains ^_^

Artoo

This week's challenge was to use Laura's new tangle Artoo... it's the one on the right.

Yay for challenges completed on time ^_^

And here are a couple other tangles I've done somewhat recently. There are times when I can't think of anything to use for a string so I just use a pattern for the string and fill it in... It seems to be working well for me ^_^

Hearted

This week's challenge was to do something with hearts using two previous challenges. I used Ixorus and Simplicity. I actually finished this one relatively early in the week, at least for me, and then got busy and forgot to post it until... well, today...
