19th-21st of July and a mixed media ATC

Summertangles 2018 is still going on... On the 19th Chainlea (Norma Burnell) was entering the stage. I haven´t tried Chainlea since I first learned it.  I did like the pattern but I didn´t like the way my Chainlea came out at that time. But now I found a wonderful pattern with a lots of possibilities! On the 20th Quérre (Genvieve Crabe) is a fun geometrical pattern. On the 21st we should add some color. Since I haven´t tried (but intended too) Ilac (Ria Matheussen) I went for this, but I wanted to do something different in my calendar. Yesterday I found some pretty tissues in a cheap store, and I glued them on todays date. Then I started to play with Ilac and also added one more Quérre in the background and some Printemps. I liked the way this went!

Then I finished an ATC in the same direction (mixed-media style):

This is influenced by art I do in my studio. Before this, tangling influenced my art and now my artwork influences my tangling! This is fun I think! the patterns used: Sand Swirl (Karry Heun), Slinky (Jennifer Hohensteiner) and Wud (Joni Feddersen).

IAST 215

I don´t work n ATC-size (8,9x6,4 cm) very often. But I got a few black ATC:s from a friend. I wanted to try this weeks IAST-challenge #215 on this one:

Two patterns suggested for the string: Clob (Jem Miller) and Delys (Jenna Black). Love them both and will sure use them further on!

Tangling whereever I go

I visited my granddaughter this weekend. She had her 3rd birthday. This time I went by bus and I have done it before and did it again: I was tangling on the bus! It is such a good thing to do making the distance feel very much shorter! The road is bumpy, to be able to do this I have to slow down more than I use to, but to control the line drawn is almost impossible. They are still wobbling around the tile.

I love to do it, because I can´t expect anything else then what comes out. Now looking at it I think the wobbling does give something extra to the tile. Who cares about perfection! This is just to be in the flow, nothing else! The patterns are: Rain (Zt), Barquillos (Maria Tovar), Cul de Sac (Suzanne McNeill) and Radiowaves (Suzanne McNeill).

Next tile I made after the birthdayparty before going to bed:

More Fluxecho (Lynn Shelton Mead), Flux (Zt) and Narwal (Samantha Taylor). I have prestrung a couple of tiles with roundings because I want to try this out. I liked to use Narwal here, I haven´t used the pattern very much. 

The 3rd tile I made this morning, after a night sleeping in my own bed. I wanted to try the challenge Sandy Kelley Jones initiated on Today´s Tangles:

The patterns are the basic-patterns: Printemps (Zt), Knightsbridge (Zt), Crescentmoon (Zt) and Hollibaugh (Zt). But the borderline is supposed to be a curvy one ant that makes the difference! It was fun to try it like this!

25th, 26th and 27th of April + Dingbatz

Here are my latest calendar page:

25th of April: Balloya (Anya Lothrop), 5CAura (Ina Sonnenmoser), Cubine and Pokeroot.

26th of April: Nipa, flec (Jem Miller) and Fassett (Lynn Shelton Mead).

27th of April: Flec (Jem Miller) and Weben Idi Lowenherz.

I use to begin my day with the calendar. These last three days I did at my breakfasttable. A kind of kitchen-table-tangle!

Talking about that, there is a new Kitchen-table-tangle video on Youtube! and it is all about Dingbatz. Before I watched this video I had no idea what Dingbatz was. As I saw it I had to try it and it was great fun. I used ATC-size this time:

5C Wrapped (Ina Sonnenmoser) and something Mookish and perfs. This took not much time to do and I liked it very much.
