Big Post (making up for lost time)

Far out, I've done it again, left it far too long between posts. The good news is, I have plenty of pieces to post.

First up, just a few 3.5 x 3.5 b&w tiles. This first one I did to try out Lila Popcheffs pattern 'Violeta'

 

 These bottom three are very much inspired by Helen Williams patterns.

Then there was colour, I just through in a splash of red.

Whoa,  then out came the full pallete of water colours and clearly I didn't hold back. I actually really love how this piece turned out.

up next is the tiles I did for my Facebook groups January Challenge. Two colours & two tangles. 

These two have Lilas patterns, 'Trapt' in them. I really love that pattern. So easy and addictive to do.

But wait, there's more. LOL!

These last few are all the A4 size pieces I've done over the last few weeks.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog. Please leave a comment if you have any questions. Hope to be back soon xx

Mixing it up

This week I have used a few different methods in my art adventures. This first one started off with a gelli plate background and developed into a celebration of mine and my brothers cats, Jax and Sas. We call them cousin kitties. Aaaaw, so Cute! This one just kept on growing and growing with embellishments, black felt tip pen and white gel pen.

This next piece is done on a watercolour background with felt tip tangles. I was inspired to use Alaura and it ended up being the focal point. 

And finally,  somewhere along the way I managed to do a couple of classic black and white tiles using fescu as the target tangle for a facebook group challenge. 

Time to move onto a flower challenge for another facebook group. Will post again soon.

HAPPY TANGLING! xx

Made by Joey Weekly Challenge

I finally made it back to do a Made by joey challenge. She's up to #25. Gee, I missed a whole heap. My bad.
This week is celebrating Autumn starring 'leaflet' by Helen Williams

Hope you like my take on it. Xx

Back to Classics

Today I decided it was time to go back to where it all began for me. Classic 3.5 x 3.5 inch black and white tiles.

☆~My New Pattern~☆

Here it is, my new pattern. I am naming it 'ANTEEK' because it is a trim pattern around an old (kind of antiquie) semi circle table I acquired a while back.... I feel like it does resemble elements of other patterns like 'Dekore', 'Drip Drop', 'Fancy Nancy', 'Eyehook', 'Retro' and 'Sp-eye'ryl' but is different in so many ways.

I don't know why it has taken me so long to acknowledge this beautiful design.... I have been fiddling with it for a while and come up with these step outs.

This is a wonderful tangle pattern to play with.

I'm kind of addicted to it now. Lol!

And for my Facebook ' Aussie Zentangle Inspired Art group ~ 'Utensils challenge' thanks to Lila Popchef of Poppies Pen Pics I came up with this little gem. Cookie cutters.....

I am quite possibly obsessed with zentangle inspired art, but who can blame me. I hope you enjoy using my new pattern. Would love to see what you come up with. Link back here to my blog if you post it on your blog. Yay!

Exactly what I think

Black & White tile swap

Here's a progress pic of the tiles I'll be sending all over the world for a tile swap on FB.

It's a String Thing #39

This week over at Tickled to Tangle we were to use tps#36 and 'Mooka', 'Meer', 'Msst' and 'MMak-Rah-Mee" (one of  my favourites).

This week we were to 'highlight' the string rather than let it fade away into the tangles. I like doing my tiles like this usually anyway so was a good fun. I used TPS#103. Check out madebyjoey to see others efforts too.

It's a String Thing #37

Time for another challenge. Yay! This week's string is #31 by Pat Ferguson so the tangles used all start with 'Pa'. Paushalöv,  Pavonia and Paizel.  Check out the challenge at Tickled to Tangle.

This weeks challenge for madebyjoey

It's a String Thing #36

This week we used String #42, one of my favorites.  Filled with bunzo, bubbles and buttercup... check this challenge out over at Tickled to Tangle
