The happiest of Holidays to everyone. What with Simplicity challenges and the beginning of the New Year peeking around the corner, I thought today was a good one to give you a tangle that focuses on one of the most basic of designs.
An Ogee pattern? You know, those in and out lines that make you think of a string of garlic bulbs -- only lots prettier and not nearly as stinky.
If you are a designer of any kind you need to know the term Ogee. But for us enthusiastic tanglers, the important thing is that they are awesome-looking, but they can be hard to do well. I often look at my attempts and wish they were more even.
Well. The answer to that is always - practice. So I came up with an exercise for myself, and, hey! It was fun. Kind of like finger skiing down the page. And I think it looks cool too.
So now it's a tangle, and you can spend these cold wintry mornings exercising with garlic bulbs.
