Challenge 16 - Mooka


I'm not sure what got into me this morning, but after I saw the video on this new pattern, Mooka, (from Laura Harms' I am the Diva website) I thought I would give it a try.  It seems like every time I try to make any pattern with a loop in it, it never turns out the way I think it should.  So when I decided to give this one a try I was a little skeptical but excited at the same time.  Well true to form, it didn't turn out like I thought it should.  The video made it look so much easier!!  But then I did some shading on it and added some other little things to it and I was happier with it.  I'm sure I'll do another tangle this week with this new pattern, but....not today.  I think the images inside my head are much more controlled (probably because I'm somewhat of a perfectionist) and I wish the end result was the same.  But I guess if everything came out like the vision in my head, then I'd have tons of money and be on an island someplace.  Oh to dream!!!!  Happy Monday to you and keep on dreaming!!!

    This is great, I see the negative (dark space first) which makes it very interesting. I know what you mean about the visions in our head (hee-hee!)

    I know what you mean, i kept thinking my mooka's would look like Maria's...but they don't... which is okay, i guess...

    I like the way you've worked Mooka in with the other patterns. It fits well.

    I saw the dark first as well, then the whole picture. Looks like some kind of jellyfish to me. (Which is a compliment -- I think jellyfish are gorgeous)

    I also know what you mean. I can never seem to transfer what's in my head to paper. But it turned out very pretty regardless.

    I know what you mean as well. Miss Perfect inside of your head never says: This is quite good, actually!
    But let me tell you this is really great!!! Thanks for sharing.

    Sandi,
    What a fun tangle! There is so much "movement" in it.
