Challenge #217 Dex and Bunzo

I have been traveling a bit lately and have not joined in with the Challenges. When I read Laura's POST this week, I was humbled by what she gets done with all that is going on in her life.

My tile for tis week is simple. It was hard to try and marry these tow tangles.

Weekly Challenge #162: "String Theory - Initial String"

I have not been in the "Zen" lately but, I finally managed to complete the challenge this week to use your initials as a string. I did two drawings, neither of which I like but, both of which I learned from. So all in all not a bad week. This is the string I started with:

This is the tangle I do not like:

Bunzo, Vega, Black Pearlz

This is my second try which, again I am not fully inthralled with:

Printemps, Enyshou, Scrolled Feather, Fescu, Mooka

Thank goodness Tangle U is just around the corner to give me some inspiration.

Get Out'a Town

Early Thursday morning I dognapped my husbands dog and drove north just as the first snow flakes were falling from the sky.  This is not always a wise thing to do because usually, what Boston gets Maine will get too and visa versa.  This time I was fortunate and today we have only a dusting of snow, power, sunshine and mild temps (44ºF).

With a quiet house and a very tired and sore dog, he gets his run of the woods and is gone for hours at a time, I whiled away the morning tangling. My mind wonders occasionally to my husband who has to navigate his way through the slippery conditions to work and back, but I must say it has been a beautiful morning for me and his dog.

Auraknot, Bunzo, Mooka, BTL Joos, Marasu

Weekly Challenge #102 Auraknot/Bunzo

The one thing I like best about Laura's weekly challenges is it sometimes makes you revisit tangles that you have forgotten.  The duo tangle challenges, such as this one, stretch your thinking to put two very unlikely tangles together.  OK, so that was two things I like.  There is really so much to love about the Diva's blog, but I will not go on.

Here is my result for the challenge this week. It actually looks like a Tri Tangle with the resulting Betweed looking Auraknot!  If I find more time this week I would like to try another.  This has been a great way to start my week.  I hope your week has started off well!  Thanks for stopping by.
