2 challenges, 3 tiles

First up, two tiles for the Diva's challenge this week, Curvy Gridlock: use square grid tangles but with curvy lines instead of straight. I wanted to try the tan tiles again with brown ink. I did two but really didn't like one of them so I did one on white with black ink.
Tangles: Knightsbridge, Knot Rickz, Sindoo, Well
Tangles: Beadlines, Black Pearlz, Florz, Seljuk, Spinners, Tortuca
The third tile is for Adele Bruno's weekly challenge "It's a String Thing". Everyone is to use Tangle Patterns string idea #27 and tangles that begin with 'Z'. I looked in my files and found quite a few 'Z' tangles. I didn't even use Zedbra!
Tangles: Zander, Zapateado, Zewn, Ziggy, Zoya

  1. Like the color and flow of the first tile. I like Sindoo but do not use it much.Like how you fit it in here.

  2. Margaret, I love the look of tan and brown, I have been wondering for some time why the brown looks so different on some tiles I have seen, I did not realize that there were tan tiles. Thanks for your explanation. As always your choice of pattern and design is perfect. I love the z tile....some new patterns I have not before seen make quite the statement in the tile. Lovely!

    1. Using toned paper is fun, and often has a lovely result. With the 'Z' tangles, there's one I've never done before and most I'd sort of forgotten about!

  5. These are wonderful Margaret. I love that Sindoo, I don't think I have ever used it. And there are si many tangles unknown to me in that last tile, time to go and investigate!
