I'd been thinking we haven't done a duo-tangle for a while, and this week we get one: Cirquital and Opus. Opus I like and use regularly. Cirquital I've tried a few times, but it hasn't really grabbed me.
I did three tiles. You don't get to see the second one; I ripped it up! However, it was while doing that second tile that I realized I have an easier time drawing the curvy, pointy, middle things if I start at the curvy, pointy, middle rather than at the edge. I'm not thrilled with either of these, but I do admire Laura for posting her first effort each time, so here they are.
Beautifully done ! I found these two tangles a tad too difficult...but yours just seem to flow!!
ReplyDeleteI love all your variations of Opus, and the extra 'curlier' Cirquital make it more fun, I think!
ReplyDeleteBoth tiles are georgeous and very imaginative. Wonderful variations of Cirquital and Opus and great contrast! Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try your tip for starting at the pointed end as I too have trouble with this one. I love the more triangular one in the second tile.
ReplyDeleteОчень нравится, как Вы обыграли это сочетание - композиция смотрится очень естественно и непринуждённо!
ReplyDeleteМне это сочетание узоров не поддалось, "cirquital" оказалось сложно вписать в сюжет :(
Translation of the comment:
DeleteLove how you beat this combination - a composition looks very natural and at ease! I did not yield to a combination of patterns, "cirquital" found it difficult to write on the subject :(
(Hooray for Google translate! although I expect there are still a few oddities.)
And please feel free to comment in whatever language you're most comfortable in!
Absolutely love those shape variations to cirquital - they won me over!
ReplyDeleteI really like the curly ends of cirquital on one of them; and the variations on opus on both. They both are lovely.
ReplyDeleteLike the contrast that you accomplished. The tangles seem to flow very well together.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Very bold desing and artistic tile.
ReplyDeleteAs usual...you always think outside the box!!!
ReplyDeleteI always go and look at your immediately AFTER I post mine.
I am actually keeping a copy of these too and will paste them into my "step out" book which is a 3 ring binder. The binder now has over 600 pages in it. Obviously it is not really an easy thing tote around. But I have a small collection in a little book just showing each tangle without step outs too.
These are great, Margaret! I love the curly ends of Cirquital too.
ReplyDeleteGreat Margaret, you did so well with this tangles.
ReplyDeleteVery creative Margaret, the way you made cirquital squishy makes it look groovy!
ReplyDeleteWOW.....Amazing !!!
ReplyDeletelove them both but my favorite is the first one!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE 'em and could only HOPE to emulate them and make something this good. Off to have a try! Thanks for the tip (no pun intended) on starting the curvy bits at the tip (pointy end) first. I just KNOW that's gonna help me.
