Skye is a new tangle pattern from Margaret Bremner. It is a wonderful, complex tangle - just the way I like them! I printed out the step out right away but haven't had a chance to play with it until this week.
It flowed easier than I thought so I just went for it on this tile. I meant to leave enough space so I could close the loops at the ends but when that didn't happen, I discovered SNAKES! Oh yeah, twisted snakes! I have no desire to see this in real life, but on a tile, FUN! And since they ended up being snakes, I used other tangles that had a grasslike feel. Quabog and Fescue.
Very nice tile with a perfect Skye and beautiful shadows!
ReplyDeleteFantastic piece! I really, really love the composition;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking tile, Sue! Your Skye is wonderful and I love the companion tangles you chose.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Sue!
ReplyDeleteAll the tangles flow together in harmony. Beautiful !
ReplyDeleteGreat Skye tile Sue. I like the other tangle you pared it with and your shading is really nice! :0)
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteAgree with all the comments above. Also like how to finished each string of Skye.
ReplyDeletePretty Skye tile!
ReplyDeleteGreat tile. We started in a similar way with crossing Skyes but then went in entirely different directions. I like the ring of Quabog. I have to admit, I do not use that tangle much.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this!
