Cruze

Challenge 143 from the DivaCZT, a Use My Tangle challenge and the tangle is Cruze from CZT Caren Mlot. I had just tried this tangle on an ATC I did for a swap and quite liked it.

I had a few ideas I wanted to try with Cruze and this is a good opportunity. One idea was to do an additional row of squares on each side of the one original row. You can see that in the first two tiles below. In the first and third tiles you can see where I accidentally sent the loops in the wrong direction, giving myself an opportunity to be creative and see what else could be done! :)
Tangles: Black Pearlz, Cruze, Paizel, Phuds

I tried striping one of the bands that goes through Cruze. There are actually three bands and it would be interesting to do Cruze in three shades (or colors).
Tangles: Bunzo, Crescent Moon, Cruze, Flux, Golven, Knightsbridge, Pearlz

I wanted to try unravelling an end of Cruze. Again, I started some of the side loops in the wrong direction. That was rescued with a few squares on Yincut. I also used a little white ink on this one.
Tangles: Cruze, Diva Dance Hollibaugh, Purslane, Yincut
I see a lot of possibilities with this tangle. I think the next thing I'd like to try is using it on a round tile.

    very cool! I love how you varied the width from thick to thin and thick again in the first one! And the last one with the loose ends - Wowsa!

    Love all the different variations. I find myself being drawn to the last one. I like the dark background.

    I totally agree with LeeAnn. The last one is my favorite probably because it's so playfull.

    I really enjoyed your post Margaret. I was struggling with how to use Cruze in a tile, and you've given me a lot of great ideas. Your work is beautiful.

    These tiles are beautiful, as is all of your work. I especially love the last one where Cruze unfurled. Your work is always inspiring to me.
