This tangle was inspired by the background image Laura Harms (A.K.A. The Diva), CZT. As often happens, when trying to reproduce a tangle from memory, we sometimes remember it differently, and this is how 'avid' was born. Avid is 'diva' spelt backwards.
Drawing avid will take some practice.
Here are some tips that you may find useful:
- When drawing the upside down curves you may wish to turn your tile upside down instead so you always draw your curved lines in the same direction.
- Place dots on your tile where you wish the curved lines to cross, and in the centre of the curve space. See my example of this at the bottom of the avid step out image where I have exaggerated the dots for you so you can better understand what I mean.
Avid is a very versatile tangle that can be used to make many tangleations. I hope you enjoy playing with avid as much as I do.
I look forward to seeing how others use avid when they tangle.
Lianne, I love this type of Tangle and look forward to using it but, would love to know which other tangles you used in the above? I can't seem to be caught up with "All" the new ones that come up daily!
ReplyDeleteHi Patsy,
Deletejust saw this message. Top tile uses various tangleations of avid, plus finery, rain and cresent moon.I have also used an aura & some perfs. The second tile is avid with betweed as a fill & fescu around to outside. The 3rd tile is an enlarged avid filled with tipple. Hope this helps.
Just found out about you version/name of this tangle, through Linda Farmer's site, tangle patterns, of course. I like the "true" diamond shapes it creates. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tracy
DeleteThis is so cool! My sister has a pillow with this pattern, except that there is more space between the rows. I was trying to deconstruct it but it was too complicated. And now I see your very simple and lovely version. Hilarious! But satisfying. Thank you. - Jennifer Hohensteiner
