Diva Challenge 228: Nature Tangles

-
Haven't done one of these in a while. Life has been moving a a gigabillion miles an hour this summer. But when I saw this one, I had to make the time to get 'er done. Cari Sultanik is the guest blogger over on The Diva's site this week and her challenge is to make a tile that was inspired by tangles that represent nature. Since I am obsessed with Tess Carlson Imobersteg's new tangle 'Breakers' the way that I am obsessed with the actual sea, the answer seemed obvious.

I've been doing this design and others on necklaces recently. I took a jewelry making class at Zentangle Expo last month.







 I may need some sort of an intervention, actually.

At any rate, thank you so much for the awesome challenge, Cari! Right in my wheelhouse it was!
Hope the rest of you are having a fabulous summer too! Tangle on!

Your tile is beautiful, I love the movement in it.
Your necklaces are so very different of the pendants I make, I love yours too.

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
