Alphabet Challenge Letter A


MadebyJoey's new challenge for 2017 is the Alphabet. I thought I give it a try and look how far I will be able to follow Joey. However, I already made a mistake. I misread her 'A' letter post and made my own 'A'-string (as allowed) , but also selected different 'A' patterns, completely ignoring the "A-Dalpha" pattern. Oh well, so I had to draw two 'A' letter tangles. Ha! I am already one tangle ahead.

This  is the culprit 'A'
I used the tangle patterns Akoya, Amaze and Autumnal




Here the real 'A' with the A-Dalpha pattern



This was actually just a draft, but I didn't have the heart to trash it, so I put some last touches to it.

Patterns used: A-Dalpha and Asterix.



These are 'A's I made in May 2016 when I came along the beautiful pattern 'Kiss' by Katie Booth. Skip over to tanglepatterns.com for the steps.


Pattern: Kiss


And in color


Patterns: Kiss, Chillon, Tipple, Fescue, Flux



Update 30 January 2017: Finally, I caught up with my tradition to draw a capital letter tile and a lowercase tile for the same challenge. Lowercase 'a', here we go.

Patterns: A-Dalpha, Arc Flower, Arcocuatro

  1. Wow! Love your first tangle...Akoya is one of my favorite tangles, and it works so well with your A. The one you did for Joey's challenge is also stunning. I love how you made the legs of the A look so full and rounded.

    1. That is how I feel only too often when I look at many of the other thanglers' tiles. Your compliment means a lot. Thanks. (Off off to letter B)

    1. Thank you so much for your comment, Michele. I have to confess, that red I enhanced in Photoshop. Pssst...don't tell anyone. ...and it was a trash tile anyway, so it doesn't really count.
