Tile-a-Day: Monotangles and Tangleations

Monotangles are tiles with a single tangle, often writ large.

Tangleations are variations of tangles, often the combination of two-in-one.

I played with a few of these for the first time recently and look forward to trying different ones.

The top tile is a tangleation of Huggins, with four different variants.

The bottom two are monotangles, with Shattuck on the left and a rosette-like tangle on the right.

Happy Birthday!

I made this for my mom on her birthday last week. 

Tile-A-Day: Here Comes the Sun

We've been enjoying all these wonderful sunny days after more than a week of rain.  The flowers and trees are blooming . . . and everyone is sniffling and sneezing.   But tomorrow there will be more rain, and the day after, so I post this to remind me of brighter days.
