NEW TANGLE PATTERN - Arcoquatro

So now, that you have been introduced to 'arcodos' and 'arcotres' , today I am introducing 'Arcocuatro'.

When naming this pattern I kept with the Spanish theme. 'Arco' meaning 'arcs' and 'cuatro' meaning four, as this pattern uses four arcs, and is similar to the previous two patterns. 

For Arcocuatro you use the same grid and the first two steps are also the same as in the previous two patterns. You can also draw the arcs by turning your tile 90 degrees

Here are the step outs for Arcocuatro for your exploration and creativity.

Arcocuatro used as a border

Here is a tile with a number of variations.

Have fun with this.

NEW TANGLE PATTERN - ARCOTRES

In my last post I introduced you to 'Arcodos', which is arc + two in Spanish. Today I am introducing 'Arcotres', as an extension to 'arcodos'. In keeping with the Spanish language 'arcotres is arc + three.

Arcotres uses the same grid and you draw it the same as arcodos plus one more line.

Here are the step outs for Arcotres for your exploration and creativity.

And here is Arcotres in free form.

Here are a couple more tiles I completed using Arcodos and Arcotres together

with variations

In the round

Enjoy.

NEW TANGLE PATTERN - ARCODOS

Welcome to 2015!

I hope everyone enjoyed a festive Christmas and a fun New Years Eve. Here's looking to a great 2015 for everyone.

Over the Christmas & New Year break I have been playing with a new pattern and its many variations.

So, to start off the New Year, I thought I would introduce you to 'arcodos'.

Arcodos is a grid based pattern using orbs and arcs. It was named arcodos as it uses 2 arcs. 'Arco' means 'arc' in Spanish and 'dos' is the number two. I chose spanish because I am slowly learning to speak spanish & now I know two new words.

So here is the step-out and a tile using arcodos.

Arcodos is a pattern which can be varied to create many tangleations.

In this next tile you can see I used arcodos in free form.

I hope you enjoy using arcodos when tangling.
I would love to see what you can do with arcodos also.
Feel free to send me an email or a link to your tile.

Cheers for now.

Weekly Challenge #183: "UMT - X-Did"

This week the Diva challenged us to use Annette Carlo's tangle pattern 'x-did'. Such a versatile and fun pattern to use.

I decided to use 'x-did' within a grid to explore what this would look like.

Here is my tile.

If you haven't already checked out the versatility of 'x-did' then go to the Diva's page and click on the links to see how other people, who have also completed the challenge, have used 'x-did' when tangling.

Have a great week everyone and happy tangling.

YNY

Finally, I have a chance to post a new pattern for you to try. It's called YNY. Why YNY you may ask? Keep on reading to find out.

This is a simple grid based pattern. I attended the CZT seminar in Providence RI in November 2013. I then spent a week in New York city. My accommodation was at the YMCA West side.

On the floor outside of the women's shower was this pattern. Naturally I took a photo of this and now, finally here is the step out for this pattern. 

I called it 'YNY' as a reminder of my trip to America and staying at the YMCA in New York.

You can also see a couple of variations for YNY on this step out page. 

I would love to see what you can do with YNY and hope you would be kind enough to share some of your creative examples with me.

Happy tangling!
