Weekly Challenge #118: "UMT v. XVI - Kuke"

This weeks challenge is a Use My Tangle.  This week the tangle is Kuke by Katy Abbot, CZT.  I know Kuke was inspired by a cucumber slice, but it reminds me of the Chineese Baoding Balls that my brother gave me one year for Christmas.

Here is my entry:

I used Kuke, Keenees, Cruffle, and Vitruvius.

Weekly Challenge #117: "New Official Tangle: Schway"

Weekly Challenge #116: "Blind Sighted"

This weeks challenge is using a blind string.  This one is difficult for me as I like structure and I am a bit of a perfectionist about my art.  So I drew the border, then put my pencil on a edge and closed my eyes and scribbled a string.   I hope you like it.

Here is my entry:

I used the following tangles: 'Nzeppel, Antidots, Purk, and Cyra.

My string was lame, but I made the best out of it I could.  I always forget it is supposed to be a guide and not a rule.  So this time I made myself go outside of the lines a bit to make it make sense to me.  I made a copy of my string so I could scan it later.  I had to retrace the string so the scanner could pick it up.

Here is my string:

Weekly Challenge #114: "You with the Stars in your Eyes - Stars v 2.0"

This weeks challenge is to use stars!  Whatever that means to you. Whatever goes...hmmm.  This one took me a while, mostly because I started a new job and am so busy learning new stuff.  This was a good de-stresser.  =)  Thanks for the awesome challenge!

Awesome fun!
