Pezember Valentine with Hugs!

I've been playing around with Peter Fruehwirt's tangle Pezember.  It starts out like W2, then goes in quite a different but pleasant direction!


Sometimes I first try a tangle in my bullet journal, like I did here.  After a quick go at the tangle per the stepouts, I knew I wanted to try it with the curved lines of Huggins.  Immediately that morphed into hearts 


Then this Bijou that enjoys a little Static.

I thought I'd try my second YouTube showing you my valentine variation.  Enjoy!

Significance

I wanted to share with you today two photos.  One, of a planned and final rendering of my hand made necklace (note the month and year in the lower right which I also think is rather interesting).  I always loved how it converted itself into a heart as it evolved.  And a picture of it today before I put it on.  I think the addition is telling, the pink heart so relevant and significant today of all days.


"Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed.  If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth." -William Faulkner

Fluxing around with Skwim ...and a video!

Wanting to focus, I tried something new with something old.  Skwim, to me, is very familiar.  Videos, not so much.  The end result is a drawing surface to "frame" my tiles as I'm drawing, providing a pleasant background and a slightly cushioned surface. I had hoped that you'd enjoy my first video, but after much effort and time, I accidentally deleted it prior to uploading it!  Sorry, you not only miss how this project evolved, but you also miss Yoda (my cat) helping me tangle.  Perhaps you're the lucky one, I'm not sure.  So, please enjoy my second video!  I've also added below some information about the "missing" video.

If you find the video helpful, relaxing, or inspirational, please let me know.  I would very much appreciate your constructive criticism and feedback.  I'm not sure if I'll continue with the video format, your comments (or lack thereof) will help me to decide.  

Wishing you peace and calm....
