KISS - keep it simple silly!
I really enjoying doing tangle patterns that look difficult but when you break them down they are deceptively simple. So when the Diva challenged us to 'keep it simple' , I decided I wanted to do one of the hard looking - but simple, tangles.
Sandy Hunter had a recent blog post with this tangle that she has named Akoya. This tangle is mostly made up of small orbs. It reminds me of Tipple but her way of doing this gives a lovely twisty effect. She has the step outs on her blog - just click HERE.
I was inspired by the season to see this as a wreath and add a gneiss star inside (with more orbs!). Now I'm off to do some wrapping of presents!
Very beautiful. It could be a beaded bracelet too! Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeletevery pretty pattern - love the circle - best of the season to you.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right Akoya makes a nice pattern.Lovely tile.Well done.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely and seasonal. Thanks for the link! Happy Merry!
ReplyDeleteElegantly simple and it resonates with the season-----speaking of which----I hope yours is merry and bright. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty tile - it looks like it could sit alongside your Christmas decor ^^
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Beautiful. Happy Holidays and a happy New Year to you :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice tile, looks not really simple to do but I will try because it looks so beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteoooo and ahhh....you must be kindred spirits with Wayne because he was doing this as a wreath for our collaboration next week! I watched him do it (he is the CZT in the family) and it is certainly much more simple than I would have thought. That's the beauty of zentangle ...if you are patient and practice you can achieve so much. Thanks for this inspiring creation!
