I completed 2 tiles for the challenge and I'm surprised at what appeared. I thought I would just create a tile using tangles with names representing LGBQA. I had several tangles ready to go but every time I would sit down to get started I would have several very concrete images take over my thoughts - very untangle like and not my process at all!
So after several failed attempts at getting a tile started I began to play with trying to put some of the images on paper. First thing to know - I don't draw real things but for some reason I kept at it especially the one tile. Most of the renditions were so pathetic as to be humorous. I wasn't sketching them out to actually use them for the challenge but as a way to get them out of my system so I could get back to the challenge.
Imagine my surprise when one of them actually started to look like what I was trying to sketch - could it be possible? Don't get to excited it's still a pretty crude rendition but I liked the simplicity and symbolism.
The other image was not that hard to recreate as it is the logo for the HRC (Human Rights Campaign - "one of the largest civil rights organizations around striving to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a
nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all."
I also finished a couple more cuffs one using gloven and the other a modification of Yew-Dee
