Square One; Fassett and Florez

Trying to catch up with the Square One focus tangles;

here are Fassett and Florez:

 Someone commented that Fassett is hard to shade;

that's an understatement. This was the best I could do.

Joey's Challenge #137: Finish My Tile; Wud; Diva's Challenge #291: Happy Halloween

Here's another Finish My Tile challenge from Joey this week.
This is the tile to be finished; and the tangle pattern is Wud.

I am so glad to have the Finish My Tile challenge again.
I really like the format; and missed it when Joey strayed 
away from it. As usual, I chose to do a monotangle:

This week's Diva's challenge is to create a Halloween 
themed tile. Or do a white on black tile - and use a 
white gelly roll pen on a black tile, or other dark paper. 
By the time I got around to do the challenge, Halloween 
was long gone. Or at least a couple of days ago. So I opted
 to do white on black; and decided to do a Zendala.

It's another monotangle; 4 variations of one of my patterns:
Vs and Arches.

Diva's Challenge #290; Duotangle: N'Zeppel vs. Flux

The Diva's Challenge this past week has been to do a Duotangle 

using N'Zeppel and Flux. I've been working on it for quite a 
while, and almost gave up. It seems that I've not been doing  
N'Zeppel quite right, and the first few tiles I tried weren't 
 working very well. So I spent quite a bit of time playing with 
it until I got it right. Or at least more right than  I had been 
doing it before. Then it took me a while to do the tile; partly 
because I originally wanted to use both versions  
(Rick's and Maria's) of Flux. But at the last minute I 
decided to just use Rick's version, because Maria's 
reminds me too much of Mooka, which is 

not one of my favorites.

That said: here's what I ended up with:

It's a String Thing # 168

Here's Adele Bruno's string for this week's String Thing: 

time for our annual ode to Cannie Corns;

 better known as Candy Corn

 

and the tangles to use are: Fang, Florz, and Tira.

I almost didn't fit in Tira, but at the last minute I 

added 2 variations.

Be sure to check out all the entries @ Tickled to Tangle, on 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.

Joey's Challenge #136; Finish My Tangle

I was so happy to see that Joey has gone back to the

Finish My Tile challenges. I really enjoyed that 

format. This week's challenge uses the tangle Fracas:

 

As usual on these challenges I did a monotangle. 

I originally wanted to do one in color, but I couldn't seem 

to get the colors right; so I did one in black and white:

I liked it, but the desire to use color kept nudging me, 

so I decided to try one in color, but in a monochrome:

This was more to my liking, but I had to admit that

the black and white was effective, too. So here I am

submitting 2 tiles. I guess that's just my nature.
