Challenge 141: Duo-Tangle

This week's challenge is to create a tile using two specific tangle patterns: Fengle and Quandry.

I have always liked Fengle, but seem to be in a quandary about Quandry. I don't know what it is, but trying to line up the little triangles seems to be beyond me most of the time. As I was playing around with it last night I decided to start with lines and then, BAM!, it worked. Phew.

So, here's what I came up with:


I'm trying to loosen up my drawings a bit. It's not easy, but I think it's working....small steps.

  5. I agree with Chrissie about the black pearls in the Fengle. Looks great. It helps me to keep the rice kernels straight by turning the tile and drawing mirror images. Yours is another way and it adds another variation.

  8. This is very pretty! I too need to loosen up some of my work. I get so hung up on grid tangles and forget those nice flowing ones.
