182 Stripes Diva challenge

This week at I am the Diva the subject is stripes.  Having only recently joined the tangling community, I had never done one of these before and happily dug right into it.  I first wanted to make one where the stripes looked rounded because I always like other people's three dimensional work.



Patterns used:  metal plate, copada, chainlea, a-fog, Shattuck, btl jooz, hearstrings.

Then I decided I wanted to see if I could do stripes without the outer straight line.  This one needed colour to distinguish the various patterns.


 
 
 
Patterns used:  flower vine, chainlea, luv-a, esses, snugz, string of beads, ruf-l.
 

I don't think this one was quite as successful.  Maybe I'll try again.

Happy tangling.

    Your first tile looks great, it really looks three dimensional. And the second one is beautiful with the bright colors - well done :-)

    Both are very nice. The 3D effects on the first tile are absolutely great :)

    The first one is very well done and the second a lot of fun (I think).

    I like how you did the shading in the first one and the color does help to keep track of the tangles in the second. They are both very nice.

    Two lovely tiles, and you've used some tangles that I haven't seen or used in a while - so you're inspiring too!

    Love how you've achieved perspective with your rolls, and I disagree with you, I think your more informal coloured 'stripes' are just as effective. Linda x

    You did accomplish your rounding. Looks good. I like the freer aspect of your second tile. You intertwined them well.

    Absolutly well done tiles Kia :) Love the difference between them - the shading in the first one and the artistic look in the other :)

    Love the 'stripe pipe'... and you've convinced me to dig out my prismacolor pencils. Moving into fall/winter, I think we can all use a bit more color!

    Beautiful exploration, and beautiful drawings.
    You indeed got the 3D effect you desired. And the first tile is clean and elegant. It's still amazing to me what a little tiny shading can achieve...
    The second tile - I love the playfulness and the "free spirit". It nicely echos your goal of "no borders" (or "outer straight line" as you called it )

    Really beautiful and 3 dimensional tile, Kia! Love it, and the fact you used tangles I've never heard of :). It inspires me to learn and try new ones!
