joey's weekly tangle challenge #222

Well we have reached the last

FMT:  front and center challenge in this series.

Today's challenge we will be using the Maryhill

tangle.

I love this pinwheel-like tangle, and how the shading just brings it to life!

I know that you will do fabulous things with this one!

In addition to finishing this series
I feel that the time has come

to take a break from my challenges.

I am not sure at this point if it is forever

but 222 challenges seemed like a good number to round off with!

I am happy that I will still be able to stay in touch with many of you around the "tangling community".  This summer I hope to participate more in the other challenges and also keep up with Stephanie's Travelling Tangles swaps, so I am grateful that our paths will continue to cross.

Thanks so very much to all of you for coming here for my weekly challenges.

It has been such a pleasure getting to know you and watch your artwork change over the years.

Group hug, see you all soon,

I am back this week with another 

FMT: front and center challenge

This week we are going to start with the tangle

Pais

In this photo, my Pais comes out from the center and travels over to the left.  You are most welcome to change the direction of your Pais if it's not feeling right to you.

Have a great week, filled with lots of tangling,

Note:  I am sorry to report that previous link ups will no longer be visible.

Back for the 11th week of 'front and center' FMT challenges!

Last week we chose my least favourite tangle

so this week I chose my favourite tangle!

We are going to put 

Puf*

front and center today!

*I have linked to a step out but it isn't how I draw Puf so this may be confusing.

You can probably see how my method works, starting with a diagonal line across the box and then the curved lines go out from there.  It often means that unless I take the time to place my lines, they don't line up with the box beside.  There are also more curved lines in my version but I think it makes a nice "puffy" pattern! ;o)

I've said in the past that I don't take all of the official names and methods too seriously.  I just do whatever feels right to me.  For all I know someone has named my method a completely different name?!

It's not important, they are all just random patterns that have been around for centuries (if not 1000's of years).

The 'names', however, do come in handy when, in this case, I need to explain what I want you to draw!

Have a wonderfully creative week everyone!

 Wednesday edit:  Sorry everyone, I am having some Mr Linky and Blogger issues this morning.  Hopefully I have resolved the link up, Blogger is continuing to be stubborn.  Those that linked up on Monday and Tuesday, your entries have been lost, please repost.
  
Here is this week's tangle challenge

We are going to use the tangle

Poke Root

which is one that I don't use very often because
I never like how mine turn out.

What better way to challenge yourself than picking
one of your least favourite tangles?! ;o)

Looking forward to seeing how you finish this one!

joey's weekly tangle challenge #218

Hello and welcome back!

 If my record keeping is accurate,

this will be the 9th week of the

Finish my tile: front and center challenge.

This week's challenge starts with the tangle Dicso.

I've just drawn a little bit of it,
you can decide whether it needs to be expanded, or not.

For inspiration, I think I might take a look at all of the gardens that are starting to burst into flower around our community!

Have a wonderfully creative week!
