PAMELA - a new tangle!

When Pam, a friend of ours, moved from a house to an apartment several years ago, we purchased a matching coffee table and end table from her. I really like the metal rod pattern in the centers and have finally taken time to deconstruct it and make step-outs.

I did a relatively simple Pamela on a gray tile. Unfortunately, the gray didn't photograph very well.

It's what I call a 'vessel tangle', a tangle with a lot of empty spaces that you can add to as you please.

For more vessel tangles check out these three posts:

Here's a tile with three different "fill ins". It can be varied quite a bit!

I drew it again on a Renaissance tile with some painted color. Here's the tile with color and all the bells and whistles (I think I overdid it!).
Tangles: Marasu, Pepperish, Printemps
Here are the step-outs, along with my examples, if you want to try it yourself.
In theory, the pairs of spirals touch, but they won't always; see the left side of the left-hand image below. Here I added a heavier section with a highlight. Then I added a few more so it would look as if I'd intended this effect. :)


BTW: It's getting harder and harder to keep track of tangles and names. If this pattern has been presented elsewhere, or if the name has been used already, please let me know!
