Continuing my week of posting new tangles, I'm offering up a tangle that I like to use as a filler. It works well into long, narrow shapes or can be branched out to offer a more luxurious effect. It's drawn from a memory of my years in Folk Arts. I think it was an Austrian pattern, a kind of stylized blossoming stem, that caught my imagination. I can remember being entranced by the smoothness of the embroidery in which it appeared and how fascinated I was to think that someone had the skill to produce this work of art. I have used it
here and
here and
here. I hope you like it.
You know, it's really become quite a fascination to do a week-long exploration of things. It seems to both motivate me and allow me sufficient time with a concept to explore it reasonably well - at least to the point where I think it begins to reflect a little more "me" with each use. Does anyone out there have anything specific they'd enjoy seeing in a series of explorations? I have so many ideas myself that I may be the only one interested in....but who knows? Tell me if you have something you'd like worked out and I'll see if I can oblige!
Happy Wednesday!
