WHOOOAAAA! (I know! I heard you all!) What a great black-and-white pattern! Not difficult to deconstruct but rather fiddly to draw, not flowy. The name is the first letters of Black Oil Sunflower Seeds. Here are two tiles using Boss.
Tangles: Assunta, Black Pearlz, Boss, Flux, Knightsbridge, Phuds |
Tangles: Boss, Dansk, Fleurette, Knase, Lotus Pods |
Here's how to draw it.
Be sure to put white stripes on the edges of the 'seeds'. It looks better if you vary the width (and maybe number) of the black and white stripes. I didn't do that enough in the first tile. Once you're done drawing all the 'seeds' you need to fill the background black. If you look closely at the photo, you'll see that some of the "white" areas are gray. You might want to think about that when shading. Have fun!
whoah! very cool! Love how you named it too... i love sunflower seeds....
ReplyDeleteMargaret,
ReplyDeleteVery Cool! I was sure this was drawn on a black tile with a white pen. Intriguing when you realize that it isn't.
Amazing new tangle! Love the way you used it.
ReplyDeleteLove this! It's great to see the inspiration piece too!
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly! That is cool. Gotta go try it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. This is an awesome tangle. Wow. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHey Margaret, check out how Helen William's Double (well quadruple) 8's got "Bossy"! I can really get lost in your tangle. Probably because I like to fill it in so much.... Thanks for all you share...:)
