Tangling on Octagon Tiles


The other day I was in the mood for tangling on an octagon tile in a Delft blue style so I browsed Pinterest for inspiration and saw some ceramic tiles with this pretty corner design on them. I decided to try a different 3-D effect this time by adding faux turned down corners.

UPDATE 5/25/22: Here is the step-out for this design:

Today's Tangle - Coracao Flower


"Coracao Flower" is by Ina Sonnenmoser and the pattern is posted HERE at Pattern-Collections. The pattern is actually a string or base pattern that is meant to be embellished with other tangles. I had no plan in mind when I drew my tile. I just added designs and tangles as I went along using ones that seemed to suite the spaces that I was filling.

Today's Tangle - Conquest


It may be hard to tell but this tile started out with the basic framework of "Conquest" by Dawn Collins. I ended up adding a lot of extra embellishments to fill in the open spaces. You'll find Dawn's patterns HERE at Pattern-Collections.
