The challenge this week is to create a duo-tangle using tangles that begin with the first letter of your first and last name. Since my name is Barb Sailor, I had to find patterns that began with B and S. I chose Boomerang and Sparkle.
I worked on a 5" x 5" square piece of good white drawing paper and did my design mostly in .005 Micron Pigma black pen and poppy red Prismacolor colored pencil. I also did some shading with a black colored pencil. I tried to get this design symmetrical, but failed - oh well! I enjoyed doing it anyway...I have to get over being such a perfectionist!!! lol

Love your challenge Tile, Barb. Your Sparkle is hypnotic. Lovely design, and its symmetry is great. No failure there. Good Work.
Love the way that you combined these two tangles! The boomerangs reminds me of that 5o's formica that used that shape in it! Lovely tile!
Perfection is highly over rated. I love the human element that makes your tile art. Nicely done
This is beautiful and sparkling!
Wonderful! I like the combination of these two tangles!
Wow, the whole piece is just amazing!! I think you did a fab job!! I really like the colors too!!! :0) Share Humanity
David - thank you so much for the kind words...I can't help comparing my tangles to others'work and mine always appear so tight.
Art Lady Kate - I know exactly what formica patterns you are talking about - this does trigger those memories.
Thank you for commenting.
Kia...Thanks so much for making me feel more secure in this new medium for me.
Anne - thank you so much!
Lonetta,
Thank you so much!
Lonetta,
Thank you so much!
Annette...thank you for the wonderfully encouraging remarks on this tangle.
Like how you combined these two tangles in the sphere. I agree with the others that the symmetry of this is fine. Not sure where I heard it but to paraphrase a quote, Striving to do one's best is a worthwhile endeavor. Striving for perfection is neurotic and a terrible waste of time. Your time was not wasted on this. Enjoy it.
So cool and retro!
