Video Tutorial - Tangle Dream - ING Variation


This is one of the "ING" variations demonstrated in THIS Tangle Dream Video. You'll find it at 7:19 in the video. I found it very challenging to get some of the elements to fit as shown in the video. In the end, I adapted them to fit my drawing.

Video Tutorial - Aqua Showgirl


For today's tile I followed THIS YouTube tutorial by Romi Marks called "Aqua Showgirl". The featured tangles are "Showgirl" by Vicki Bassett  and "H²O Lilly" by Lori Howe. I drew mine on a 3.5x3.5 inch tile and I also filled the corner squares with flowers. I just happen to have all of the colored pencils that Romi used in her video.

The step-out for "Showgirl" is posted HERE on TanglePatterns.

The step-out for "H²O Lilly" is posted HERE on flickr.

Today's Tangle - Leaded Glass Window with Up n Down


On October 3rd, I blogged HERE about this "Leaded Glass Window" string. Yesterday I drew another tile using the same string and I thought you might want to know how I made the string/template, which you can see below. I started with a 6x6 square grid in pencil so that the grid lines could be erased later. Next, I drew the "X's" in the top and bottom rows. After that, I connected the feet of the X's with lines to create vertical columns from top to bottom. If you like, you can aura the whole thing like I did.


Today's tile features an embellished version of "Up n Down" by Kathy Barringer CZT. You'll find her pattern HERE on her blog.
