Challenge 130: UMT Henna Drum

Henna Drum is a tangle I have been using for a while and really love.  It was great fun to use it in a challenge.  I also used String #7 from tanglepatterns.com.  Love using my new string organizer to easily pick a string to use.  

Happy Tangling!

Challenge 129: String Theory XXV - String #4

So nice to have the day off and have time to do my weekly challenge.  After a very soggy weekend in Saugatuck, MI nice to be able to have a nice day to tangle with the windows open.  I decided to try a new way to choose tangles for this challenge and created a random selection using tanglepatterns.com.  By using my iPad I brought up the website and then randomly clicked on a letter A-Z at the top and then randomly chose one of the patterns that came up for the letter.  I sometimes have students ask me about how to choose tangles and do I balance them, etc.  Finding a random way to choose tangles is a great way to take away the pressure you can sometimes feel to choose "the right tangles"  Give it a try and see how it works for you.

Tangles: Loblolly, Queen's Crown, Dex, Japonica, Good Joss, Ninja Stars

Happy Tangling!

Challenge 127: Duo Tangle Cirquital & Opus

Duo tangle challenges are always fun and usually include tangles that I don't use too often.  This was true for this challenge as well.  I don't know that I ever had the chance to try out cirquital before this.  

Happy Tangling!
