Tangle challenges March

Not much drawing going on this week. The weekend was relatively cool so that meant The Husband and I could get out into the garden and get some much needed maintenance done.

Here's a photo of Arthur supervising us emptying the two giant compost bins. We've ended up with well over 1 cubic metre of compost to spread around the garden and another couple of cubic metres of partially decomposed material that might turn into usable compost in a few months.




Diva challenge

This week it was a duotangle of Marasu and Molygon. Marasu is a tangle I use sometimes and quite like. Molygon, however, is a shape I'm not comfortable with and can never seem to get right.

Here's my first, unfinished attempt. Not good. 





I had another go tonight, which is a a couple of days later. This one I like a lot.





My third tile I started last night and finished this evening. I went back to the step outs and tried to follow the examples more closely. Not very original but sometimes that's what it takes to get a tangle working.





Made by Joey

The feature tangle this week was Icanthis. I added Ilana and Inapod. This week I kept the colour palette muted.



Have a great week.

Thank you for showing the process, there's a lot to learn from it. I like both the second and the third tile.

I too liked seeing how you progressed in making your Tangles. Nice work!

It is amazing sometimes to see the results of not giving up and going back to a pesky tangle to rework it until you are in control. Your progressively richer takes on the tangle show that. You've got it now! Nice work!

Your last Diva tile is very, very beautiful.
