In the Zentangle language, Fassett is an interesting tangle, or pattern, that looks complicated but easily creates a dramatic look. Laura Harms, the diva behind the Diva Challenge, chose the tangle created by Lynn Mead this week for tangly people the world over to concentrate on.
I've used it before, but it falls into the "I HATE TRIANGLES" category. I gave myself permission to not start with a grid this time, but to let the pattern grow organically to fit it's little section.
Much happiness ensued!

We have the painting that Grandma Moses did for the United States Postal Service in 1969 (an outrageous six-cent stamp!), "Arrangement in Grey and Black," (aka Whistler's Mother) detail, a granny square afghan that took me 13 years (!) to finish (a hobby taught to me by my Nanna) and Lemon Meringue pie (my Grandmom knew I loved them and could whip one up by scratch. She didn't stick around long enough to teach me that talent).
I did one more twinchie for "Orange,"

ReplyDeleteThank YOU! You just never know where I might go with a theme, but you should know me by now! c
DeleteYou have an original approach to all your work, which I like very much. I also go along with your "I hate triangles" cry. I don't know why they are hard but they are. However, I think you may have hit the spot when you decided to avoid the grid and let it go where it wanted, it certainly works here.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Magrat! I'm glad to meet a kindred spirit and that you like what I did with this stuff. c
DeleteLove your Diva tile. Your inchies are great, too. I like the idea with the granny squares. I also thought about this for my inchie but finally decided for something else.
ReplyDeleteAnd your mosaic-tile is so beautyful.
Very much appreciated, Tina! I was considering making a square for this week's TwobyTwo but I can't find my crochet hook, or at least the one I wanted to work with. It's around here somewhere! c
DeleteWhat an amazing array you've shared with us this week, so much loveliness to look at!

Aww, thanks, Sally! Glad you stopped by! c
Deletelove your inchies - how I wish I'd thought of the granny square - I'e been making them non-stop since January for Christmas presents - I guess you can't see what's closest to you!
ReplyDeleteI was just trying to channel my Nanna. I'll always remember her shoes and her glasses. And powder, Estee Lauder always. But she bestowed upon me a great gift. That's what's closest to me. c
DeleteLots of great work! Love it all.
ReplyDeleteYou are too gracious, Lady Kate. Thank you. c
DeleteVery nice tiles!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement, Lily. Very much appreciated. c
DeleteOh well done doing all four and I love your connotation for grandmother - what lovely associations, you always do such lovely research and I remember well my granny blanket as a child! Great tangles too.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Jenny! Perhaps i ponder these things too long, but research is one of my talents/afflictions. Fond memories for sure! c
DeleteNicely done.
