Cornered

I finally got around to finishing the tile for IAST#207. It was really a challenge, this one. I had never used this tangle before and with the suggested string, there was only one way I could think of composing this tile. The problem, you see, is that I was raised to be a follower ofContinueContinue reading “Cornered”

Flux

I recently started reading ‘Mindset’ and I have, much to my delight, discovered that when it comes to art, I have a “growth mindset”. It means that I’m super critical of my work, am willing to push my boundaries and believe that with practice I can get infinitely better. Now, I am fairly new toContinueContinue reading “Flux”

Oh Fricle!!

I missed IAST#188. Mainly because I just couldn’t decide what to do. In the end, this is what I came up with. Far from perfect, it’s not even close to what I had in mind. Moreover, not only am I a whole week late, turns out I haven’t managed to work fricle in either. I thought I hadContinueContinue reading “Oh Fricle!!”

The Shamrock

St. Patrick’s Day is round the corner and here’s my submission to It’s a String Thing Challenge#187. A shamrock using the tangles Lucky, Cayke, and Rixty. It was fun and didn’t take me too long. In hindsight, I should have used a black or white tile instead of the toned gray. That might have madeContinueContinue reading “The Shamrock”

Plumage

I loved this week’s challenge (#306). The second I laid my eyes on Amphora, I knew what I wanted to do with it. I spent nearly 5 hours bringing my idea to life. I drew it in pencil first, then went over the whole thing with my micron and filled in the colours. After whichContinueContinue reading “Plumage”

The Enchanted Garden

This week’s challenge (#305) took me a while. I just couldn’t settle on any of my ideas. I somehow couldn’t visualize a way to make the two tangles work together in a way that would satisfy me. Anyway, long last, this is what I came up with. We were to use the Marasu and the Molygon in aContinueContinue reading “The Enchanted Garden”
