Weekly Challenges and Travelling Tangles


"Puf" Monotangle

Another for the DIY journal. I do like this pattern a lot, but I never use it and my creativity was eluding me in ways to vary it. I saw a version of this string idea somewhere in one of my Facebook groups and that was that.

Duo-challenge Joey #218 & IAST#245
featuring: Dicso, Strircles, Tattle and C-bun

 Adele celebrates National Donut Day with her donut string. This was a tricky one and as usual I had a few of those moments where I was ready to chuck the whole she-bang, but I pushed through. I really liked the Dicso part and my favorite part is the C-bun donut, everything after that was a bit of a slog;-) but I liked the way it turned out in the end. These are progressing into a really nice pattern reference.

I'm moving right along with the Travelling Tangles I've received over the last month. I've been quite inspired and out of the 11 swaps I initiated, I've received 8 and finished 7;-) I now have to start thinking about how I'm going to archive all of these. I want to do some kind of multi media journal so I can include all of the cards and envelopes. Stay tuned;-)

    1. Many thanks Ria! That's one of my favorite finishes too. The surface of the tile had a metallic finish and was very difficult to draw on so I finally had to break out the brush pen. It worked beautifully;-)

  3. Lovely tangles but I'm so confused there's a calf but no cat? I must be at the wrong place???

    1. Thanks Trudi! I've been sharing a few baby animal pics from a recent farm trip. I'm a city gal so the farm is quite a novelty to me;-)

  4. This week again you have done wonderful work, Michele! I like all of your shown tiles. I think my favorites are the dou-tangle and the two first traveling tiles, which are a great composition of patterns and colorful background. Your DIVA monotangle shows a very nice composition of Puf.
