Oh, I love this week's Dare from guest Genevieve Crabe via Erin at www.thebrightowl.blogspot.ca! This entry went fairly quickly for me - two tangles (cadent and facets) were obvious choices for me, though I have to admit that it took two tries to trace out the template in such a way that the outer lines were "guidelines". Unfortunately, my tile got a bit dirty from the kitchen table - not the best place to tangle, but I had to watch something on the stove while I did it. It looks a lot worse on the scan than it actually is - maybe I should clean the scanner too. I like the flow of this one, but feel like it's missing something. However, I'm not going to spend any more time on it BECAUSE, as I was doing it, I realized it has 12 points.... That means I'm going to do a larger one as part of my series of "Tangled Time" which is sort of mixed up clocks that represent how time becomes quite elastic when I start to tangle - if you know what I mean ;). So hopefully I'll have another entry before next Sat. Thanks for viewing, and have a good week.

I love the way you turned all those straight lines into something curvy and organic. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with this template, Sue. Following the outlines with those graceful shapes was a very good solution.
ReplyDeleteSuper zendala, so light and curvy.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is my Spring fever, or that it is the month of May but the ribbon-feeel to this immediately brought maypole dances to mind! Beautiful and fun! Thanks for sharing! DayLeeDoodler #18... :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks very organic. I like the way you did use the very delicate tangle to get such an organic feeling in such a geometric zendala.
ReplyDeleteExquisite! so delicate and pretty - reminds me of a passion flower :)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful Sue, I love Cadent here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the flowing ribbons.
ReplyDeleteLike the ribbon effect that you created with Cadent.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, your line work is meticulous!
