Challenge #65 - Use My Tangle for April - Huggy Bear (JJ LaBarbera)

This week's Diva's challenge is #65, and on the first Tuesday of the month someones original tangle is chosen for the challenge. This month's tangle was created by JJ LaBarbera, called Huggy Bear, a play on the official tangle Huggins.

I wasn't very excited by this week's challenge but once I got into it, I really enjoyed HB and all its possible variations. I'm usually not drawn to grid patterns. If too much precision is required and following concise structures is important, I get nervous, my eyes start to spin. I'm much more of a free flow gal. And that's what my Huggy Bear does; ebbs, flows, wobbles and wonks, but that's just me. It was a very enjoyable challenge, who knew?

I used Huggy Bear in several variations, Tipple, Keeko, Knightsbridge, Plume, some Spheres, and Auras. I really do like the outcome. I may have to do another.

Thanks Laura and JJ LaBarbera. I'm also quite taken with her tangle Allium but they are all fun!

  3. I love the wobbles and wonks! This challenge has taught me that I was looking at Huggy Bear too rigidly and I need to go more with the flow. Beautiful tile!
