This Week's Tangles
For Joey's Challenge this week she started us off with Andromeda and a few Fescu. I came across the tangle Niuroda by Tina Akua Hunziker the other day and I wanted to try it out. At first when I drew it beside the Andromeda, I thought "Oh no, this is no good!" But after I added some shading and incorporated some Flux into the Niuroda, I really think it works nicely together.

I also did tiles for the last two Diva Challenges. The first challenge was to use nested hearts as a string. I used it as an opportunity to try out SpinRose and Jetties. Jetties reminds me of the balls for a game called croquet that we used to play when I was little. 😊

The second was to make a zendala using a heart string. I didn't have a round tile so I traced around a cup on one of my tiles to make a circle. I use lots of organic looking tangles so I am trying to learn some more geometric ones. I tried out a couple new ones inside the hearts. I think Ria might recognize one of them! I really liked drawing Nouvart and will probably use it a lot in the future.

I have lots of mom stuff going on this week so my post is a little later and shorter than what I hoped for! Thanks for stopping by to check out my tangles!!
Fabulous! I love both your tiles!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Deanne! I'm glad you like my tiles :-)
DeleteWonderful work, Lisa! I like all your tiles, especially the romantic hearts. In your combination of patterns the are not so sweetish. The used organic and geometrical tangles are great!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Margarete, for your nice compliment! I like to try not make the hearts to sweet looking, I'm glad you like the result!
DeleteAbsolutely wonderful work, especially Niuroda is beautiful drawn on your first tile. On the second one, I see a gorgeous heartform in an exquisite combination with other patterns. And of cours my favorite is the third one. What a nice surprise to use my Nouvart. You did it in a great way and I like that tiny bit of colour too, thank you very much Lisa and keep on tangling!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Ria! I'm glad that you like my tiles and the way I used Nouvart. I was searching for geometric style tangles and it was just what I needed :-) Thank you so much for your kind words.
DeletePretty work, love what you did with Andromeda!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Ilse!
DeleteGorgeous work! I really love the depth you achieve in your shading and it's so smooth.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Michele! Sometimes I add a little black colored pencil to my shading to add some extra darkness. I blend it with odorless paint thinner. I'm glad you like it :-)
DeleteI bet you have more than 24 hours in a day, and probably a few more days in a week, too, than the rest of us have. It would take me ages to draw all those tiles and they would never ever even come close to your impressive results. Simply fantastic work, Lisa, stunning tiles, and marvelous choice of tangles.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your generous compliment, Susie! Luckily, I have a very kind husband who sings our daughter to sleep each night so I have some time to myself to tangle. I think we must be in admiration of each other, because I am always impressed by your tiles as well :)
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Susan! I'm glad you like my tiles :)
DeleteVery nice drawing. It reminds of a design in a kaleidoscope that I had as a child. Fun memories! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I'm glad you enjoy my tiles :)
