Sunday Tangles

"Backsplash" is by Carrie Leffel and her pattern is HERE at Pattern-Collections.com. There is also a video by Dawn Collins, HERE. To give my example a little more interest, I rotated the "tiles" so that they face toward the center.

This one is called "Planateen" and is by Molossus (Sandra Strait). Her step-out can be found HERE on her Life Imitates Doodles blog. There are videos HERE and HERE. I drew mine using a different method than either of the videos. I started with a regular square grid and placed a small horizontal dash in the center of each square. I then connected the dashes with diagonal lines. I drew everything with pencil first so that I could tweak as needed before going over the lines with a pen.

"Unbatz" is by Sandy Hunter CZT and her pattern can be found HERE on her blog. Once again, I drew mine in a regular square grid. I drew a "U" shape in the center of each square but didn't draw it all the way to the edges of the square. I also tried to draw them as close to the same size as I could. I thought the design looked a little too plain so I added some shading and then accented the little crosses with white and gold gel pens.

I've blogged about Yvonne Pranschke-Fleer's "V-Snail" pattern before HERE. I used a black tile this time and drew the design with white and metallic gel pens. Get the pattern HERE at Pattern-Collections.com. You'll also find two video links on that page.
