" Tri - Shapes " - Weekly Challenge #48

Our guest Challenger this week is 'the lovely and talented' Sue Clark, who says:  "Three basic shapes (circle, square, and triangle) when combined, can be used to create a string.  Just like the infinite possibilities of putting tangle patterns together, using these 3 shapes together and altering their size and placement on the tile would create infinite possibilities for a string idea.  I thought it would be fun to also 'tri' all new tangles (ones you have never tried before)."

Good one, Sue!!  And here is my attempt at this challenge.....

ZIA - Sakura Micron Black #'s 01, 02, 08; graphite shading.

Tangles:  Fish, Flux, Kandysnake, Sea Shell and.... the tangle around the triangle (which I created but have not given it a name yet).

Thank you for visiting....
.....and happy tangling.

  6. Great interpretation - I particularly like how you changed scale of your background pattern as it filled the triangle! Your circle fills are really pretty too - excellent work! (btw, you mention kandysnake, but it looks more like coaster to me - isn't kandysnake more alternating arches and "snakey"?)

  7. Thank you for your comments.

    Terrie, you may be correct about the kandysnake/coaster tangle. My sketchbook has so many variations (tanglations) that I sometimes confuse myself. I'll check out the "Tangle Patterns" site for clarification.
    Thank you.
