Joey's Jemz Challenge

Joey's alphabet challenge is up to the letter J, and she gives us Jemz to monotangle.

This one is a lot more fun outside the grid, but it has plenty of potential on a regular grid, or a curvy one. It would be a really good pattern on a sphere or other three dimensional shape.

 As I played with Jemz, no matter what I did, I couldn't get the sort of "gem" shape I see in the sample on tanglepatterns.com...but, breaking it out of the grid and making a solitaire of it did go all gem like.

I shaded with True Blue by prismacolor, and some flecks of process red, violet, sunburst yellow, and lime green in the solitaire...because really, if you put a diamond under bright light it has such amazing glints and sparkle. This is a tangle I'm gonna play with some more, for sure.

  1. Love the way you curved the grid in this. I am not keen on grid tangles and whilst I automatically curve Florz it doesn't occur to me that I can do the same with any of the grid patterns,

  2. So true about the colours in a cut gem! You are so clever, I never would have thought to do that!
