Muster Mixer #20 - Trimonds und Telis

Diesmal hat uns Anya vor eine aus meiner Sicht schwierige Aufgabe gestellt... Die Muster Trimonds und Telis sollten gemixt werden...
Ich kannte bisher beide Muster noch nicht und musste sie ersteinmal ein bisschen kennenlernen.
Anschließend habe ich meine Kachel begonnen und die Muster angelegt. Danach blieb sie eine Weile liegen, weil ich nicht so recht damit zufrieden war....
Heute ist mir das angefangene Tile wieder in die Hände gefallen und ich habe einfach weitergemacht.  Witzigerweise habe ich inzwischen vergessen, wie die beiden Tangles im Original aussehen... Naja, das ist doch die beste Voraussetzung, einen Mix hinzubekommen, oder ... ?


This time the pattern mixer was not so easy for me. The tangles Trimonds and Telis were absolutely new to me, I first started with some sketches and the begun to draw this tile. Half finished, I put it aside because I was not really happy with it.
Today I found the half finished tile and gave it a chance to get finished. Meanwhile I forgot the original shape of both tangles - what a good condition for e real "Mix"!

Joeys weekly tangle challenge #120

This week Joey presented another circular string and asked us to use the tangle "Girdy"
I have not had enough time to think about and did a rather simple tile without any extra tangles.

Next Tuesday morning we are going on our summer holiday trip to the Isle of Skye in Scotland.We are taking the car.
Our first stop is Amsterdam, where we will have some hours to spend, maybe we will visit a museum or take a walk along the beautiful canals in the city.
In the afternoon we will drive to Ijmouden (Netherlands) , where we take the  ferry to Newcastle, where we will arrive the next morning,  Friday.
After seeing some sights along our way to the North we plan to stay over night in Glencoe (Highlands) where we have booked a hotel, and on Saturday we will continue our journey to the Isle of Skye where we have booked a cottage near the north -west coast.
Depending on the weather we plan to take walks in the countryside, the Cuillin Hills and on the rough coast line . I am looking forward so much to this holydays!
Of course I will take some time for tangling and blogging, and I am going to share some holiday impressions with you!

DIVA Challenge #274 "My Country" and some other

This week the DIVA asked to draw a tile inspired by the colours of our countries. For Germany this is black-red-gold. 
What are we Germans proud of? We are Soccer World Champions!  😉 ⚽️  (In Europe we call it Football!)
And these days we are fighting in the Euopean Championship. Tomorrow we are going to play the semi final against France. And of course we will cross the fingers and hope... ;-))
I thought that it will be appropriate to draw a football in the net.


On sunday evening I played a little bit with Rias tangle Paravan in my sketchbook. What a loely tangle with many poibilities.... Here I show you what I did:


And the last tile for today is a "just for fun" tangelation with a wateroloured Mooka...
