Bluebonnets, Traced Objects, and More

In keeping with her continuing Spring Theme, 

Joey's Challenge #56 is,
tangle a flower box or
a baskit 
of bluebonnets

I opted for a Baskit of Bluebonnets:

I kind of like it; how about you?

Take a look at joey’s site to see the other entries, 

and maybe try one yourself.

 Diva's Challenge #213, Traced Object Strings
 

This week's challenge is to trace an object (or objects) 

to create a new and interesting string.

I started working on this while waiting at the Dentist's office. Searching through my purse, 

I came up with this little comb and 6" metal ruler.

 which I turned into this string:

 which became this tile:

 Be sure to visit the Diva's site to see the other wonderful entries; it's amazing how different all the responses are. Maybe you'll be inspired to try out one of the Challenges yourself.

At Tickled to Tangle, since this is the String Thing #88, Adele's daughters: Nancy and Sarah, came up with this string:

 

and Adele added these Tangle patterns, 

which bring 8's to mind:

8's by Jane Eileen Malone, CZT   
Pia by Margaret Bremner, CZT  
Tipz by Faith Cohen

I had no problem with Pia and Tipz, but I can never get 8's to look the way I want it to.  So I decided to leave it out of the mix:

But the more I thought about it, the more I thought I should at least try; so here's my second attempt:

It's not as bad as I expected. 

Be sure to check out all the entries @ Tickled to Tangle, late Monday afternoon, when Adele Bruno posts them. The vast differences that can be achieved using the same tangles on the same string are truly incredible. And, if you've a mind to try a String Thing yourself, check back on Tuesday afternoon, when she offers the new ones.
