is it really possible that it’s September already and I didn’t notice? Goodness, it looks like I completely lost track of time, what with all the coming-back-from-vacation and getting-the-kids-ready-for-school… So, this month’s Pattern Mixer is one day late. Hope you’ll forgive me! 😉

As promised, I picked two completely random patterns this month (I actually had my eyes closed), but it so happens that they go together quite well (at least in the variation I chose for my tile). I’ve never used either of them before, so it was a nice challenge for me, too. Have fun!

First time for the challenge? You can find the rules here.

Here is my Pattern-Mixer for this month:

ATTENTION, please! While all tiles submitted in the last months were stunningly beautiful, there seems to have been some confusion about pattern mixing. Just drawing two patterns next to each other on a tile is called a Duo Tangle (and it can definitely be worth your while), but when we mix patterns, we go one step further. Pattern mixing means to merge two tangles, to intertwine them or even create a new tangle from the combination. I’ve drawn up a few examples for you here. Mixing patterns is not easy and you might even want to collect a few ideas or do a few sketches first. But it’s a real booster to yor creativity and it’s – well, a challenge!
