It's Monday which means it's time for a new Diva challenge! This week's challenge is to use the tangle Sankegg by Maria Vennekens.
This is my first time working with this pattern. I love the look of it and the many options for filling in the spaces. I went to grab a tile to start tangling, when I decided to try a monotangle (a single pattern throughout the design) on a Zendala tile. To date, I've only done pre-strung Zendala tiles. I love filling in all of the smaller shapes and watching the symmetrical design take shape. I grabbed a blank Zendala tile and started my Sankegg shapes. I like how they curved a bit at times with the variation in size. Next I filled in more Sankegg strands either behind another one (Hollibaugh style) or branching off of an existing strand.
I sat there trying to decide how to fill in the triangles. At first I was very tempted to put a tiny Paradox in each one--I'm addicted to that tangle and use it in almost every triangle that I create. I figured they'd be too small for the look. I went to my second favorite triangle shape--Munchin.
Can you find where I started drawing my Sankegg strands?

no. i can not. :) great job, emily! i am feeling a little challenged with this one
ReplyDeleteGreat tile! Full of movement...keeps the eye moving. This tangle is a true challenge. I have mine started; we'll see if I finish in time! I'm not brave enough to try a monotangle composition like you did with this one...kudos!
ReplyDeleteNeat idea that you did with the challenge - I'm still trying to get the flow of it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice in this zendala shape.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have a handle on this tangle - nice variation, and brave of you to do a monotangle! Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love what you made of it!
ReplyDeleteHave no idea where you started but it ended extremely well! Great job!
