UMT Challenges 85 (Copada) & 94 (Socc)

I'm combining two weekly challenges here 'cause I haven't done any in a couple of months. Both are from 'use my tangle' challenges. If you don't know what those are, you:

A) are really missing out.
B) should go here immediately to check it out.
C) should really consider sharing that awesome new tangle pattern you've been keeping under wraps. Blog it with the steps to draw it, give it a goofy name, and link it up. It's cake.

Sooo, the challenge. Here's my version of Copada (thank you Margaret Bremner) and Socc (ditto Erin Olsen). Erin also does the Weekly Zendala challenge. I haven't done one of those yet, but it's on my bucket list.


In addition to catching up on all Diva challenges I've missed, I've been smurfing around with a new series of tangles by combining existing patterns into new ones. You can jump to my last blog post, Tangle Remix Vol. I, here. If you leave me a challenge in the comment field on that page, I'll attempt it and post it on that page. Sometimes the results are great and sometimes they're what could only be described (politely) as a hot mess... buuut, I'm having a really great time :oD

Thanks for visiting sandyland!

  3. Wham! Great tile they work wonderfully well together and are really striking. (Hence the wham ;-))

  4. Pretty awesome! I like how you left some of the framework of Socc showing... I also enjoy the different tangles within Copada!

  5. I really like how you left some of the grid in Socc. It makes me think of vines on a window. :)

  6. I love how you've combined two challenges in one, and it's so wonderfully drawn.
    It would also work really well for Challenge 35 (Tile on a Tile, set by Margaret) which is one of the next ones I'm due to attempt!

  7. Lovely treatment of Socc, with the blank spots; it also goes very well with copoda, nicely bold!

  11. This is great, a tile within a tile. I checked out your remix, great job!

  12. I love the "tile within a tile" as well. I also love the open grid you've left. The fills in copada are great.

  13. I love the idea of combining two challenges together. Laura Harns should see this.

  14. You are the Queen of Combinations, Sandy! I can't tell you how much I am enjoying exploring your blog, from the beginning to the present day. Lots of new additions into my Zentangle journal yesterday - this serves as a "hard copy" reference for when I am drawing.

    Thank you so much for your lovely comment on my blog about my hands ZIA - from a master of Zentangle such as yourself, this is flattery indeed. Much appreciated! Also for becoming a follower. As you will see, I do loads of other stuff apart from Zentangle (which I'm just getting back into after a few months' break). Hope you enjoy the ride!

  15. Thanks for visiting again, Sandy - and I'm glad you like "La Bella." I haven't done any ZIA for a while and it's high time I started again. First off, though, I think I shall be reorganising my Zentangle Journal along the lines you suggest with the plastic pockets - such a brilliant idea, but it's going to take some time!!

    Thanks also for thinking about Y-not for me - this is a pattern I'd really like to have in my arsenal.

    Is there a way to follow your blog? I couldn't find a button.

    Thanks again,
    Shoshi

    1. Yes, the tangle pattern binder does take a lot of time, but it's worth it. I have had several requests for photocopies of my pages but I haven't decided what to do about that yet.

      For subscribing purposes, there are eight buttons that look like stamps along the sidebar on the right. If one of those doesn't do the trick, please let me know so I can find something that works.

      Also, are you on FaceBook? If so, please add me (or email me) so I have an easier way to communicate with you! I have my personal FB page linked to my blog... I know I should have a separate one for tanglebucket but I cannot express enough how much I don't want another thing to keep up with. ;o)

      Thanks again for all the input!
