First, here's my tile for AEDM using unfamiliar tangles. Boomerangs from Teresa Clerc lends itself to a number of variations, several of which are popping into my head whispering, "Try me too!" Terri Greenberg shows her tangle Trentwith with a white background, but I decided to use black to define the edge of the circle. A variation of Daniele O'Brien's Zenplosion on the other side of the circle seemed a nice complement to Trentwith.

| Tangles: Emingle, Boomerangs, Trentwith, Zenplosion |
Just for good measure, and because I quite enjoyed this Tri-Shape challenge, here are two more tiles I did today. I seem to like to keep the three shapes evident, and used shading to define some of the edges.

| Tangles: Chartz, Diamond Panes, Hibred, Jonqal, Keenees, Meer, Tipple |

| Tangles: Crescent Moon, Munchin, Prestwood, Tripoli |

Fabulous! I like those boomerangs. I too will do more tiles with this type of shape string because i found it an unique kind of challenge. I have been looking at what new tangle you use everyday for new tangle inspiration and have found it enjoyable and, well inspirational. I can not, however get myself to use prestwood... it just says 'uterus' to me and I can't get past that mental image! Thanks for your inspiration this month!
ReplyDeleteHaha Eden! Sometimes it looks sausage-y to me. I've done Prestwood with patterns on the "U" shapes (stripes, dots, etc.) and it looks much less like a uterus or a sausage. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!! I love the "empty" space you have left...gives such a nice sense of space and dimension.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have used some really challenging Tangles!! and the way you have used them makes me what to try them too

Fabulous as always, Margaret! Glad you liked the challenge. I am enjoying seeing all the new patterns you are trying each day. I need to do that more often then I do.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing. You never disappoint!
ReplyDeleteLove the patterns and empty space!
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love your work - you've got some good white space going on in these and I like your use of the boomerangs in the first one - so graphic.
ReplyDeleteLOVE all three! I keep trying to decide which is my favorite...but just can't decide! The shading looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! This was indeed a fun challenge.
