As it is the first of the month this is a UMT (Use my Tangle) Challenge. You can see the step out for Annette's tangle X-Did by clicking
HERE. As with many patterns it is one that she saw on someone's blouse. I hope she does not mind but I varied it a little. When linking them together, I alternated the pattern rather than having it completely stacked. (I think you will be able to understand when you look at the tile.) Was not sure exactly how I was going to finish it but it came out okay. I also chose to use the black/brown combination, but rather than do it on a Renaissance tile, I did it on the traditional white tile. May play with it more, as there are some interesting possibilities. Here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.
Tangles used: X-did, Shattuck, Crescent Moon
Have not seen what others have submitted so now am off to do that. Would encourage you do this also and even attempt your own tile. Even if you are not comfortable posting it. Can click here on

ReplyDeleteLove your version of X-Did. I think the beauty of that pattern is that it looks different every time!
ReplyDeleteAt first I saw a rollercoaster, then I saw the wonderful sweep of the tangles - fab!
ReplyDeleteOoohh!! This is so delicate almost like lace work!! Nice colours. Good luck with the Inktense pencils.

ReplyDeleteGreat tangle combination, and X-Ing variation. The touch of color is perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to expand on a tangle. I do like the different look you have achieved with your changes. The colors are a nice touch too.
ReplyDeleteDonald....
ReplyDeleteWow! I really like your version of x-did... You're right, we both alternated the pattern. We were thinking on the same "lines." (ha, ha!) I really like that you used color and lines in your version... AND it is so complemented by the other tangles you incorporated! Wonderful work... AGAIN! :)
I've been poking through the 183's this morning, and always appreciate the positive, specific comments you make. You are full of encouragement. The world needs more cheerleaders like you.
