Blogging from A to Z Challenge – E is for…

by Laurel Regan on April 5, 2014

I’m tangling from A to Z – E is for…
…Escalator
…Exis
…Eyehook

(Pssst… new here? Welcome to Alphabet Salad! For some background on how and why I got involved in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, check out this post… and, if you’d like to catch up on my progress to date, all of my challenge posts are tagged with Tangling from A to Z. Glad you stopped by, and hope you’ll return!)

Tangle Practice

E is for exquisite… as in, it was exquisite to be able to sleep in this morning, minus the usual weekday noise of the roadwork that’s taking place on our street, and have time to leisurely work on today’s tangles and post without watching the clock. So much more relaxing and enjoyable (another E word!)… too bad I can’t find a way to get someone to pay me to tangle all day, every day!

Tangle Practice – Escalator

Tangle Practice – Exis

Tangle Practice – Eyehook

Border & String

Just to carry on with the whole A to Z theme, I thought I’d make each day’s “string” resemble the appropriate letter for the day. I can’t always promise that the finished tiles will look anything like the letters – it all depends on which tangles I’m using and how the drawing evolves. We’ll just have to see what happens!

I love the word exquisite! Tangling and Pin It looks intriguing. However, I’ve just learned how to Tweet and hash tags so will have to leave it for another day. So much to learn!

  Thank you so much, Carol! These days it’s pretty much blogging, tangling, and iPhoneography that keep me busy… but I’m trying to think of something new for June and the “30 Days of Creativity” project (http://createstuff.tumblr.com/). We shall see!

You missed the best one: “E” is for Escher! Your drawings totally reminded me of him — he’s great, right?
