Challenge #195: "Turning Old into New"

Thank you Sandy Hunter for a creative challenge to look at our tangles in a new way. We are to take a grid based tangle and make it free flowing or take a fee flowing tangle and put it into a grid. I tried one tile with Skein used as a border and Verve put into a grid. Here are the results:


There are so many great examples at iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com you should really take some time and check them all out.

I have not taken up challenges or focus tangles at Square One lately because I have been hooked on my inkblot pictures.

Here is the latest one I have finished.



I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am already looking forward to spring!

  1. Like your verve in a grid. Is the bulging the difference between Zander and Skein?

    1. Hi Donald!
      Zander is an official tangle pattern and Skein originates from Sandy Bartholomew and is meant to be nestled side by side which You can find it in her book "Yoga for your Brain."

  3. Verve is lovely in a grid, especially with the hints of shade you've added. The ink blots are very interesting. I like the Aura around them. (Oh no, another idea to try!)

  7. Such great ideas to try this time around. Your inkblot is fascinating...do you "splot" when you finish the tangle work or do you add more tangle work later? Cool idea!

    1. Hi Lynell,

      I have to say I LOVE Dreamweaver Stencils!

      I "splot" first. Sometimes there is a suggested form or pattern to work from. I then fill with appropriate tangles. It is a lot of fun, especially if you ask others what they see in the splot. Sometimes it is something you havenot seen yet. I hope you try it, it is a lot of fun
