Muster Mixer #3


This month's challenge is to use Cadent & Buttercup either by:
1.  Using a tangle in a tangle
2.  Combining elements, or
3.  Merging tangles


Thank you Anya for another delightful challenge!  Here is the link for a full explanation:  Muster Mixer.

When I first started tangling, Cadent immediately became one of my favorite tangles, along with the numerous variations that have surfaced. (Margaret Bremner, CZT shared wonderful Cadent variations, which was my inspiration for one of the Zendala dares and also for this challenge).

My dilemma with this challenge is that on October, 2014, I came across Shasta (where Cadent meets Buttercup), by Gael Shepherd and have been using it since.  This tangleation (Zentangle Glossary) is appropriate for this month's challenge, and although I did not come up with it, I would like to share two of my tiles with you.  I think this variation is quite lovely and I am using it in a project of mine.  This would conform to #2-Combining elements:
                      Shasta                    Shasta with aura  
           
Then, I see Anya's beautiful tile!  So, now I have  both images in my head and must create something new. I had to do this quickly, and just ran with it (as I am short on time) but I am submitting this with the hope that I still have 26 days to create a new one and update this post. Here is my entry for this month:
Tangles:  Buttercup with Cadent variation

I really enjoyed this challenge and hope to spend more time with these two tangles, (as I just noticed something).  To be continued...?lol    Sorry for the long post.
 


Update 2/8/15:  I found and contacted Gael Shepherd re:  Shasta.  She does not have a blog or link that I can share.  I originally found her pattern on the Wacky Zentangle Weekly Challenges Facebook group (October, 2014) – (it took me a bit to remember).  She has a photo of the step-outs there. (Sorry).
 
Thank you for visiting and thank you to those who have taken the time to leave a

relaxing and peaceful tangling. Cheers.
