Challenge #38 "Better than a Pair of Ducks"

This weeks Challenge was suggested by Maria Thomas and is a monotangle using the tangle Paradox.
A monotangle is explained as : " A Zentangle or Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA) using only one singular tangle for the design; the tangle may be used in it's "pure" form or in tangleations."

Paradox is one of my favourite tangles so I have really enjoyed this challenge. I have also done quite a few tiles playing around with different strings, geometric and organic I have selected two for the challenge but have include the others I have done on my Tangle page.
The first one is based on the square within a square quilt. block.  Here I did the central square area first starting in one direction then changing direction to alter the central area. Finally I did paradox in the outer area but working it behind the central block. I like the result although it is quite simple in appearance.



The second tile I selected used an organic string, here I just made a fluid string then used Paradox to fill these organic shapes. Some shapes have only two sides and these are a little challenging but I did like the result. More of my attempts can be viewed on my Tingi Tangles page here.

  1. Both are great but really like the first one - like using the reverse effect as well.
