Shiretown, A New Tangle

 Thank you for being patient while Cindy and I tracked down the problem with the blog.

It has been corrected and you should not have

any more of those nasty pop up boxes

to deal with.

To celebrate, allow me to introduce you to

Shiretown, a new tangle!

Back in the summer, Mark and I traveled to Maine

to look at some houses. 

We overnighted in a hotel name Shiretown.

This is phone photo I took of the carpet in the hallway.

Many of my tangles come from carpets.

 Deconstructing that pattern was simple.

You just break it down one step at a time,

much the same way you draw a tangle.

One step at a time.

 Shiretown makes a fine border as you can see. 

 I really, really love tangling this in a circle!

In the background you see another of my patterns -

barz. No step out drawn, just rows with a series

of straight and diagonal cross lines.

And here is another tile I did using shiretown. Add a little zander and some  Knights of the Round Table. Shiretown looks great in black and white, but it also looks great with a pop of color. Why don't you give shiretown a try? I would love to see what you do with it!

Thursday String Idea #18

 Here it is Thursday again,

and once again I have a string ready.

Will miracles never cease?

Hahahahaha!

I seem to like roundish strings,

so here we are one more time - 

tangling in the round.

(Should you like to print that tile out at 3.5" size,

simply click here for a link.)

I know there is probably a lot more that could be done with this tile, but I am liking the minimal effect here. So I am calling it done. And my actual tile is a 3.5" one, so it is smaller than it appears here.
That tangle in the center going around in a circle - that one is called Shiretown. If you are interested in it, you should be watching for an announcement here oh, just any day now. Hehehehe. Thanks for joining me for Thursday String Idea!
