Weekly Challenge #202: "DuoTangle: Chebucto vs Copada"

The challenge for this week is to use two "border" tangles from the very talented Margaret Bremner. You will find Copada and Chebucto at her site the Enthusiastic Artist where you should take some time to browse because she has a wealth of information and beautiful art.

I am not sure I did her tangles justice but this was my result:

After posting this I felt it was a little unbalanced. I added black to the inner Copada brackets and it feels better to me now.

What do you think? Should I blacken in the outer ones too? I may just do that to see what a difference it makes. Back soon.

I think I like the last one best! 

Weekly Challenge #130: Henna Drum

I love this tangle given to us by none other than the very talented Jane Mackugler.  You can find her step outs to this pattern HERE.

I have used this tangle many times before and it is always a pleasure to draw.  Today I went "string free" and just put pen to paper. It was a cool morning and I drew while bread was baking in the oven. There is nothing better then bread in the oven, dog at your feet and a pen in your hand with a blank piece of paper waiting to be transformed. Well, there are some other things but, today this will do just fine.
