IAST #254: Tofube, Barquillos

Here's Adele Bruno's string for IAST #254
 
and here's my tile, using Tofube and
3 variations of Barquillos: 
 Barquillos is very versatile; as you can see.

Be sure to check out all the entries @ Tickled to Tangle, on Monday afternoon, when Adele Bruno posts them. Although, actually, it's usually more Monday evening before they're posted. 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, or evening, when she offers the new ones.

IAST #253

This is Adele Bruno's string for It's A String Thing #253
 
and this is what I did with it; although as you can 
see, I turned it on its side. Couldn't quite decide which
way to turn it; so I let my husband decide for me.

Joey's Last Challenge: #222, Maryhill, IAST #249, Abeko + Diva Dance

Joey has announced that this will be her last challenge.
 I will really miss them; especially since I've just started 
getting back to doing challenges on a fairly regular basis. 
I have been having problems with concentrating, focusing, 
and  functioning in general; somewhat similar to what  
the Diva and some of her readers have been going through. 
But Adele Bruno is still going strong, and Square One as well. 

Anyway, Joey's FMT/front + center this past week has been
using Maryhill. I never realized before what a versatile tangle
this is. I had a ball with it; so much so that I ended up doing 
2 tiles. This is the first one:

 and this is the second:

Over at Tickled to Tangle, Adele presents us with
this string, and the tangle patterns Abeko, and
Diva Dance and/or Diva Dance Rock n' Roll
Here's what I came up with:
I had a little trouble coming up with an idea for
this one, but I'm OK with it.

Joey's #221, IAST #248

Joey's Challenge this week is another
FMT: front and center challenge, starting
challenges of Joey's as monotangles. But 
for some reason this week, I just didn't.
I added ZenJellies, Tipple, Antidots, and Auras.

and maybe try one yourself.

The first tile I did for It's a String Thing #248, 
was really terrible. I can't remember when (or if)
I've ever done one so bad, and usually in the true 
spirit of Zentangle, I'll post whatever I've done. But
this was really bad. So I tried again, and this one is
better. I have done this one as a monotangle; I 
guess I'm making up for not doing one for Joey's.

Joey's Challenge #220

Joey’s Challenge this week brings us back to PUF, 
which was the focus of the last Diva’s challenge.
PUF is one of my favorite Tangles. There are a few 
different ways in which to do it; and I’ve used 2 of 
them in this tile.

Take a look at Joey’s site to see the other entries, 
and maybe try one yourself.
