I’m tangling from A to Z – H is for…
…Henna Drum
…Hi-Cs
…Hurray!
(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
I am most definitely NOT a morning person… yet I am really coming to appreciate this pre-work tangle session each day. The house is quiet (well, apart from the roadwork noises in the background!), the cats are napping after their breakfast, and I have time to relax and create with a cup of hot coffee by my side. For some reason, today’s tangles were especially satisfying, and actually very quick and easy to learn. What a great start to my day!
Tangle Practice – Henna Drum
Tangle Practice – Hi-Cs
Tangle Practice – Hurray!
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 am definately going to try tangling once this challenge is over.
I really like the first one and then how you put it all together, facinating.

These tangles do kind of look like henna designs.

I believe that’s what inspired the person who created the “Henna Drum” tangle.
