WINDFARM - a new tangle!

Tangles: Crescent Moon, Tipple, Windfarm,
and Windfarm with Rounding

Or is it a variation? Oh well, I've given it a name. This is another of the Hollibaugh variations I was to share at Tangle U 2014. The first is a tangle I now call Morse. One of the people I showed this to said that it looked like modern windmills so Windfarm it is.

The Rolling Hills Wind Project in southwest Iowa.

This tangle begins with a long-armed 'Y' which then has an Aura on either side. Add another Y and aura it too. Some of the arms of the 'Y's will need to go under previous arms. Here's the how-to:

You may want to add a single 'arm' to fill a corner. Remember to shade it! Just as you would with Hollibaugh, all the parts that seem to be going 'under' get shading.

Tangles: Black Pearlz, N'zeppl, Windfarm plus stripes and leaves.
(That 'flower' on the left appeared when I turned
the tile around, so I added leaves!)

BTW: It's getting harder and harder to keep track of tangles and names. If this pattern has been presented elsewhere, or if the name has been used already, please let me know!

MORSE - a new tangle!

Or is it simply a variation? Oh well, I think it deserves a name!

Tangles: Hollibaugh, Morse, Munchin, Rain, Tipple

At Tangle U 2014 I was to teach a short class called Hollibaugh on Steroids: five weird and wonderful variations of Hollibaugh. I didn't get to Tangle U, but I did the class with three other CZTs some weeks ago, and again with a few tangle addict students. One of them said that this variation looked like "dots and dashes" so I've named it after Samuel Morse of Morse Code fame.

Here's the how-to:

Don't put circles over an intersection because you want to put black around them, and you have another white band back there. Remember to round the ends of the long dashes. As with any tangle, you can vary the scale, and with Morse you'll need to vary the number of circles.

Tangles: Morse, Tipple

BTW: It's getting harder and harder to keep track of tangles and names. If this pattern has been presented elsewhere, or if the name has been used earlier, please let me know!

Missing U

Or: "I need to learn to read the instructions first"

Tangle U 2014! Late April! I'm going! I'm going to teach about Sacred Geometry and Hollibaugh on Steroids! I'm going to have great fun and learn lots! It starts a month from today!

Tangle U is an event for CZTs where we can meet others, learn a bunch of nifty things and try out ideas. There is going to be a tile swap called Missing U among those of us who are able to go and those who can't attend this year. "Missing U" - very cool idea. I got to work.

Then I got out the information to find out where to send them. Oh.
The theme is not "Missing U". The theme is OCEAN!!! Margaret, you nincompoop.
Well, more fun in store! Oceans. Blue and green. Blue and purple. Wavy tangles. Sparkles.
I charged ahead!

Tangles used in some or all of the above:
Black Pearlz, C-scape, Diva Dance, Dust Bunny, Lamar,
Msst, Opus, Paisley Boa, Paushalöv, Printemps,
Snaylz, Tipple, Wud (and a variation)

Back to the information. Oh.
I only need one. Or maybe two. Oh well, an extra one for the organizer! Full speed ahead!
