Circular tangles as mandala centers (#3)

Recently I used the tangle Undiala in the center of an apple-corer mandala. I was going to do that again, but then Undiala took over the whole thing!
Tangles: Diamond Drops, Parabola, Seljuk, Xyp,
and Undiala as more of a string.
(Done on Ingres paper with a 05 pen.)

I'm quite pleased with how this next one turned out. I like how four of the 'ribbons' seem to loop over the edge. I used Crossview as a center again because I really like it!
At the center: Crossview (again)
Other tangles: Crescent Moon, Fohbraid
(Done on Ingres paper with a 05 pen.)

    Both of these tiles are fantastic, but I do love the blue mandala. Really beautiful work! :)
