Hip To Be Square Challenge 113

Hip To Be Square is this weeks challenge from Laura, our Diva. She has presented us with a string challenge and one that I really love. It is fun to create border tangles and the possibilities are endless, beautiful and delicious. We are to create a square in a square in a square, how neat. This challenge is special for me because I am introducing my first tangle creation, I call it XO. My tangle is the tangle on the outside of the square, look closely and you will see x's and o's. If you take a look at the rest of my blog, http://distangleart.blogspot.com you will find my step out and two variations of XO. Hope you have a minute or two to take a look at my blog and I sure would like to know what you think.
Oh, one more little thing, one of my mandala's was selected to be in "The Beauty of Zentangle" by Suzanne McNeill and Cindy Shepard to be published in November. I am thrilled and honored that they asked me to contribute my mandala.

Tuxedo Challenge 112

The Diva's Challenge was a tangle created by LeeAnn called Tuxedo and it was a tangle I have not used before. After practicing the pattern a few times, it was easy to recreate and it is easy to put it into the other tangles. Thanks LeeAnn I enjoyed learning your tangle Tuxedo.
