A frest start and joey's weekly tangle challenge #178

 testing the waters - welcome to my new blog!

I know . . . this is a crazy amount of change at one time,

 but I felt it was time to just take the plunge!

As many of you know, Photobucket recently took control of some of my photos that were linked to my blogposts.  I felt that it was ridiculous to pay them $400US/yr to access my own photos, so I decided to start a new blog.

It has a new name and a slightly new format,

 but most of this new blog will be the same as madebyjoey.

 I appreciate your feedback and ideas

to make this blog even better!

There will be bugs to work out along the way,
(the font is acting a bit weird at the moment)

and a new challenge 'logo' to design,

but for now, let's try to get back to business

as best we can shall we? . . .

First I would like to say

WOW the past 6 weeks just flew by!

A HUGE thank you to my 6 guest challengers:

Susan, Trudi, Stephanie, Michele, Susie and Ilse.

I think everyone agrees that you all have great ideas!

I really appreciated the chance to rest my brain,

and to have the opportunity to try other creative pursuits like

Carla Sonheim's Kids Art Week!

{week 1, 2, 3&4}

I have also begun making some

"eco-Art" items for a Winter Art Show in December.

Today I have a new challenge theme for you that will only last 9 weeks (the alphabet was a long one!)

If that's too much of a commitment for you,

don't worry, the challenges are still fun without doing them all.

Ready?  Here we go . . .

You will need:

9 tiles

(any size or shape except circles . . . or

if you can make circles work, by all means go for it!)

~ Arrange your tiles 3 across by 3 down.

~ Draw a "border" around the entire square of tiles.

~ Now draw a large string inside the border that crosses every tile.

This will give you an idea of what I mean,

but you can draw yours any way you like.

While still in position flip each tile over and

number the top of each tile 1 through 9.

Each week I will give you a tangle that must be incorporated

somewhere into that week's tile.

Tile #1's tangle is

African Artist

The design is up to you, you may

decide to have your tangles

flow from tile to tile or they may be more individual?

Black & white or colour?

Painted before or after?

Tiles or simply drawn in a sketchbook?

It all works! 

I really look forward to seeing each week's tile

and then how they come together at the end!

Glad to be back, have a great week and remember to subscribe so that you can find the new blog easily.
