Fall Tangle Trash to Treasure with Ayame

Another picture developed as part of the Fall Tangle 2023 event. This one was part of Jennifer Cottrell’s fun class Trash to Treasure where we tangled over a piece of cardboard box, transforming it into a picture to be treasured. Ayame (Emiko Kaneko) and Mooka were the tangles used.

Inktober Tangles 2023 Day 5 Nayu

I continue the Art Club’s challenge for Inktober Tangles. Day 5! Will I be able to hang in there any longer? I had an especially good time with Nayu (Emiko Kaneko), the fragment reminding me a little of Ratoon. Very lovely tangle!

Inktober Tangles 2023 Day 3 and 4
Inktober Tangles 2023 Day 3 and 4

Another study for Inktober Tangles 2023: Day 3 is Caro (Lucy Farran) and Day 4 is Sunbelt (Jody Genovese). Sunbelt reminds me of Kangular, but it’s fun to put it in a ribbon. I did not dare make the Sunbelt variation… The only question now is: how long can I make it during this month? Will this last? :-)
