Sometimes the string creates sort of a band through the tile. I had the idea recently to '
biggify' tangles through that band, and do the same tangles small in the other sections. My first attempt was not very successful. The big Rosé in the middle is too weird-looking and Jonqal doesn't have enough difference between big and small.

Tangles: Jonqal, Knightsbridge, Rosé |
Second attempt was more successful, but still not quite what I had in mind. The 'big' section is more of a triangle or a mountain, which is fine. I think Tipple doesn't work very well for this idea because there are necessarily large
and small elements in the pattern.

Tangles: Flux, Knightsbridge, Munchin, Tipple, Tripoli |
Woohoo! Success! Well, pretty much. Let the bells ring out and the banners fly!

Tangles: Knightsbridge, Paradox, Tripoli |
Thought I should have another go at it. This time I did the larger versions of the tangle on the 'outside' and the small version in mid-section. One thing I like here is that the band I notice first is all Finery, not either the smaller or larger tangles.

Tangles: Finery, Shattuck, Spinners |
What a wonderful illustration of the effect of scale adding drama and interest to your composition. All the tiles are wonderful, but the last two really stand out.
ReplyDeleteIn the absence of a challenge, you challenge yourself. I love it! These are lovely, #2 and #3 are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThese are all pretty, but you nailed it on the last one. I really like it a lot. I haven't tried a mono tangle yet, but I just might have to now that I have seen yours.

Neat idea - and I really appreciate that you posted the pictures to illustrate how you got to the place you envisioned!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a fun look, one I will try. You've got a winner there. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteVery nice and a great idea! One to follow.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
