amok, chapter 2

<--here is the reason i can't type much. 
or type well.  or use capital letters. 

but this is a vast improvement over the first cast i was in, which included a sling.  that meant i was totally one-handed.  with this cast, i can cheat a little.   not much.

in yesterday's post i discussed how i ran amok with the tangle peanuckle, which was this week's diva challenge.  see that post for the details and result. 

well...!  one of the other participants, susie ngamsuwan, also ran amok, only much more effectively.  not only did she produce two gorgeous tiles, but she came up with an easier way of drawing the same tangle.  so creative.  see her work and her step-out here.  it's so worth reading--and check out the rest of her blog!  fabulous.

after seeing how she did it, i had to try again.  result:

on the left side of the tile i tried drawing it according to molly's original instructions (molly came up with the pattern), but did it very large.  i liked it ok, but got lost  near the end and had to fudge some embellishments. 

on the upper right of the tile i tried it again, very small, but used susie ng's instructions.  easy!  not only did i not get lost but i experimented with the 'join' between the peas.  i liked the effect. 

i threw in a couple of mooka and then tried it a 3rd time, using susie's instructions, on the bottom of the tile, and this time fooled around with an inner spiral on the peas.  once again, i never got lost and it was fun to draw.

thanks, susie!  you're so clever.  i'll actually be using this tangle now.
