The prompt on Square One this week is Quib. I have used this tangle before, but I think I have used it more in Zendalas than in regular square tiles. I do like it. I tried to do something a little different by combining it with the new tangle ING. That was a little more challenging than I thought mostly because of trying to come up with a way to distinguish the different strands of ING. This was made a little more difficult as I did not make the sections that large. Oh well, it is what it is. I was not sure what to do with the background. I did not like the way it looked just leaving the white space but was not sure about what tangle to use. I decided to use a wave, which mostly turned out like an "s" shape. The idea was similar to what you would use with Msst. The lines were just a lot shorter. It provided something as a background. Guess I could have used some thing like Florz that would have been more open. Here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.
Do not normally do this, but as I just finished this tile yesterday, will also use it for the Diva Challenge, even though I did not know ING was going to be the challenge. If time permits will try to do another one this week also.
Tangles used: Quib, ING

So lovely how you combined ING with Quib.
ReplyDeleteGreat tile !
That's a great idea! I never know what to do with quib. This is great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tile, Donald :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful tile, Donald. Great combination of the 2 patterns. How fortuitous it was that you used the 2 together, and ended up with a tile that you could use for both challenges.
ReplyDeleteLike the combination of the two tangles and the circular Quib.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that you used Ing as a Quib. I just love seeing people push a tangle and you did a wonderful job doing so.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Tile, Donald. You kept track of a lot of movement in this Tile. Beautiful attention to detail with a great result.
ReplyDeleteGreat tile and interesting concept! Quib is always a challenge for me. You did well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a visually delightful tile :) It is so pretty! I love looking at it :)
ReplyDeleteI like the different ways you have filled ING. Very nice tile.
ReplyDeleteThe combination of these tangles is great!
ReplyDeleteYes, you are so right, it is what it is, and your tile turend out very wel in combination with the other patterns. Great.
ReplyDeleteVery creative use of the two tangles. I kept looking at it trying to figure out how managed to do it. Beautiful tile
ReplyDeleteAll your beaut weaving in and out gives an intriguing look!
ReplyDeletequib! It's the first tangle pattern I practiced when I "discovered" zentangle :) This is a great way to use it, all ing'ed. ;) Interesting and fun to look at.
ReplyDeleteWowza Donald!!! You pout a lot into this one!! I love all the tiny detail, and yet the movement of Quib has me traveling! I love how you combined 'ING' with it! Beautiful work Donald!!!! :0) Share humanity
ReplyDeleteWow! I love how it winds and twist! Very cool
ReplyDeleteThis was a really ambitious idea, Donald, and I think it works really well. Using Ing as strands of Quib is both clever and attractive. (Sounds like a foreign language but you know what I mean.) Excellent tile.
ReplyDeleteYou have so much detail in your tile including tiny ING, I also like the way you interlaced Quib as a border.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty amazing coincidence---that you used ING with Quib before you knew it would be the Diva's challenge. As usual, I'm intrigued by the 3 dimensional look and movement you achieved.
ReplyDeleteA lot of skills used in this one. Donald, really like it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the way that you combined these two. It looks amazing!
