Tangled Pin-up Girl

I've been dying to finish her - started last weekend.  I love Pin-up girls, so why not tangle one :)

Weekly Challenge #146: DuoTangle Pea-nuckle/Well

I made some time to do a piece for this week's Diva Challenge.  This week we are to only use 2 tangles - they are Pea-nuckle and Well.  At first I thought it a  very strange combination and didn't see how these two tangles would gel.  I decided to do 'Well' not so rigid and without it being in a grid, although I love grid patterns and I have a liking for Well too.  As for 'Pea-nuckle', I don't remember the last time I have used it - it's not a favourite of mine as I can't seem to make it flow naturally.  So between the rigid Pea-nuckle and the gridless Well, I think it came together and I am very happy with the outcome.

Thanks for your visit - have a lovely week and Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends celebrating the day.  :)

Oh, I fiddled around and photo edited some too.  It's fun seeing what I come up with - of course nothing beats the original in black and white.  Let me know what you think :)

And after all that, I'm having problems uploading pics on my Blog so I will link it via Flickr.  Oh well!

Finally! it worked! phew! :)

 

Zendala Dare #81 - some more

A few different versions including close up of the one in colour - tfl :)

Zendala Dare # 81

It's been a long time between drinks! I don't remember the last Dare I submitted.  As soon as I viewed this week's template from Erin Olson (www.thebrightowl.com) I had visions of Asian bowls.  So here is my piece - thought it was fitting to draw it in blue.  I'm still tossing whether to add some fill inside the bowls and/or around the 'bowls' in the centre.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you all have a peaceful week :)

A crook back - what to do? why Tangle of course! :)

Tried my hand at making a hand drawn Mandala.

    

Drew a string months ago - it was time to attack it - this has been scanned and still needs shading to be added.  Thanks for looking :)

Oh, one more thing, - here is my string.  I forgot to take work in progress pics - next time I'll try to remember :)

Weekly Challenge #145: "New Official Tangle: Quib" #2

The other day I quickly sketched Quib on a blank postcard - thought I'd tackle it and make something of it and here it is, Thanks for looking and now that I'm done with Quib (for now anyway)  I will venture out and see what others have done with it -  I'm sure there'll be some wonders to see.

Weekly Challenge #145: "New Official Tangle: Quib"

Well, here I am - I've missed out on so many Weekly Challenges with the Diva as I was having too much fun and relaxation in sunny Florida.  Not only that I got to spend some quality time with my sweetheart.  It's not easy being in a long distant relationship and I am so grateful to have spent 2 months with him.  Leaving him just gets harder and harder - it's heartbreaking.  But for now that's what we can do until things get sorted out.

I'm not so sure about this new official tangle... I don't see many possibilities really.  I wanted to see if I could showcase it in a different light by using it in the hair, rather than something more abstract.  This is what I came up with - not too many tangles in the background as to not lose the effect.  I hope you like it and as always thanks for visiting my Blog.  Your comments are very much appreciated.  :)

Goodbye Florida (for now) :))

I was hanging to do some tangling, found some time last night

I started this one on the flight home and finished it today.

Back to Blue

Here's a piece I was working on today - using blue gel pen.  Tangles used, 'x', 'Chop Chop' 'S' Pots' and Glace - thanks for your visit :)

I'm back....... :))

I've been offline for the last week or so, so I've not posted anything.  I have managed to find some free time for tangling - and here they are :)
thanks for visiting, have a lovely weekend :)

Buddy Roses

Tangle called 'Buddy' by fellow Australian Dorothy Allison - quite a lovely and simple pattern.  Thanks for looking :)

Weekly Challenge #139: UMT vXXI "8s Parte Dos" by Jane Eileen

It's been quite a while since I've participated in the weekly challenge with the Diva.  I'm on holiday and this week has been quiet and relaxing, so what better time than to do some tangling :)

This week is a UMT (Use My Tangle) called '8's Parte Dos' by Jane Eileen.  It's a bit tricky and I was ever so careful not to make a mistake, but somehow I did 2 joins incorrectly but I'm not one to start all over again - I like to work with what I have - so I changed it somewhat and joined the whole middle piece 'incorrectly' and hey a lovely pattern emerged.  What do you think?

In the top section I managed to use the tangle as close as possible to Jane's.  I added some flowers in the middle because I was in a flowery mood.

On the bottom I used one of Sandra Strait's patterns (sorry I cannot recall the name, its the swirly one) and added some Cayke and a few others such as Warts and Wobbles.

I'm having trouble with shading as the paper I am using seems to be very smooth but hey, it is what it is :)

Here's my version X 3.

Thank you for your visit and as always your comments are very much appreciated.  Have a nice day!

A nice change to working on paper - I'm pleased how it turned out.
Thank you for visiting :) Blessings xx

Unfinished Business

I have several pieces that I had started over a month ago and only now finding time to get back to them.  This is one I worked on tonight.  There are two versions, the one in colour is edited.  Hope to get back to the others soon :)
thanks for stopping by :)
