My new Tangle 

Mock I.AM

My "I.Am" tangle series is growing; "Mock" has joined the family. I introduced Mock I.Am on my blog the first time with my Zenuari 2019 tile for day 9 "New to me Tangles" (left). I guess I took the theme of the day a bit too literal (something I seem to do only too often) and sat down to actually produce a new tangle. I am a bit slow at drawing step outs and even slower at drawing sample tiles as I prefer to work on challenges, but I was finally able to kill that inner lazy me and officially introduce "Mock I.Am" to the world (LOL, how I love to dramatize things).



The first tile (under the title) is Mock I.Am in a wonky grid. The tile below shows Mock I.Am in ribbons with a Mock I.Am bug up in the corner.

I love to place tangles into leaves or petals, so Mock I.Am had to undergo the same treatment. The other tangles are Sunflower, Sinko, and Columbine.

Here are two tiles that look the same. I so desperately wanted to make a star or Zendala tile. I came up with three tiles in total. One, the first, went straight onto my pile of rejects (thanks to Anita Aspfors Westin inspirational blog "Oops" it will (hopefully, eventually, maybe) be remodeled on a later date), the second and third outputs still didn't hit the nail on the head so I decided to stop wasting time on this rather stupid idea (but they count as samples!!!) and just post them. On the green tile the D's are big as per pattern and in the other the D's are small and look like bow ties.

....and of course, I had to do a bookmark with Mock I.Am. Here the D's turned into leaves.

The basic Mock I.Am exists of lines, diamond shapes, D's and D's mirrored, V's, and commas. That's it. So here the step out:

Facebook's Square One February 15 - February 21, 2019: Flydance. I looked at the stepout of flydance and was instantly in love with it. Thanks, Annett Ruempler.

Refresher #195 with tangles Rixty, Floose, TreFoil, Zati, and SoDeceiving. Count-down towards 200: 2 1/2 months to go.

Refresher #194 with tangles Snail, Flec, Iriemon, Satsu, Faux Weave. After finishing tile 1 I had to change the Faux Weave and Iriemon trail. I had to take these tangles out of their grid. Okay, maybe Iriemon in the newer tile in the leaves looks more like Betweed, but I used the suggested 3rd variation version by changing step 2 to / \.

ValenTangle 2019 had Love Fragment sort of as the feature tangle for the 2 weeks leading up to Valentine's Day Feb 14th. Not a particular 'hearts' tangler I decided to do ONE tile and one only with this fragment and for the occasion.
