Bales

Weekly Challenge #120: "Tangleation Nation; Bales"

With The Diva's challenge bales takes front seat. Today I went basic with a pre-strung zendala where bales fitted nicely in the string lines and a no fuss tile.

    Like the way you've used the circles in the middle shapes and the outside edge. Love the string connecting the two sides on the second tile :)

    Very nice contrast and line work on the first tile...and I love the second tile. The string adds the delicate feel to it.

    Very beautiful, as You always have. I like the center very much, the way how it creeps to zendala.

    Shelly I love the way your mind designs and creates such beauty! The added accents of black do so much to dignify your beautiful tiles!

    Both of your tiles are gorgeous. I love the string on the second one, and I would never have ethought to do a monotangle of bales on a zendala tile. It's wonderful.

    Love that you did the same zendala and we have such different results for a monotangle challenge. The wonders and beauty of zentangle!

    Beautiful as always. Love your rounding on the tile. That is something I would never have thought of. Very cool.

    These are great.Love the tangle sort of untangling in the middle of the second tile.I like the idea of using just the one pattern and seeing how it can be adapted.I'm getter slowly better at thinking of more ways to do this.

    Always a pleasure to see what you have created each week. Love your work.

    And I thought of you this week as I tangled using two more precious tiles from the batch I bought from you a month or so ago. :)

    I love the grace and flexibility you give Bales. It isn't so ordinary on these tiles.

    Both tiles are great. The depth in the bales spaces in the first one is great. and gives bales a total different look, and yes I love the second one with the strings weaving out of the bales section into another. I used your spiral guide, to make mine. Thanks for sharing that with us.

    Like your Zendala, but really like the second with the connecting flowing strings between the two sections of Bales.

    You Bales Zendala is so beautiful, I love the little surprise in the middle.
    And the ZT is also very beautiful, the ribbons that connect the both sides...very creative!

    I love these tiles Michele! I've never tried a pre-strung tile ~ have to give that a go. I love the graceful flow of the second tile and how the strings tie the two sections of Bales together ~ I can actually visualize them being pulled together. Beautiful!
