I’m tangling from A to Z – S is for…
…Scrolled Feather
…Snaylz Trayl
…Sonnenband
(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
Today’s tangles were great fun! Though the finished tile makes me laugh a little. While I think it looks quite pretty overall, I realized halfway through one of the tangles that I was making a rather significant mistake with the pattern (points for you non-tanglers if you can spot it!). Since the tangle pattern still looked nice in spite of the “mistake” I decided to carry on and finish it my way, and consider it artistic license. 
Tangle Practice – Scrolled Feather
Tangle Practice – Snaylz Trayl
Tangle Practice – Sonnenband
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!

Nice drawings, I can’t make one. Like they say, I think this would be greater with color

Wow exquisite detailing. This one is my favorite… Or do I say that about all your tangles?
Lovely! Hugs!

The stripes and solids in the Sonnenbands are reversed in the finished tile? Is that it? No matter–it looks beautiful anyway. I really, really love the scrolled feather–that might be my favorite pattern yet! You continue to surprise and delight me every day with these!

That’s exactly it, Elaine – good eye! Apparently “Sonnenband” means “Sun Band” or something along those lines (I think in German?) – and while my practice tangle does have the look of little suns, the pattern in my finished tile looks more like fans! But I thought it worked anyway. And I love the scrolled feather too – when I chose that one back in March I couldn’t wait until the “S” day arrived so I could try it!
