A cool Paradox variation

As with so many good ideas, this one popped out when I was trying to do something else. I'm still working on that, but here's a cool variation - or tangleation - of Paradox that I discovered in the meantime!

 SHAVED, OR FEATHERED, PARADOX

Tangles: Black Pearlz, Paradox, Pearlz, Phuds, Seljuk, Shing,
stripes with highlights (yes, I use that a lot!)

 You need to begin with somewhat widely spaced sections in the Paradox. Here's how to:

Once you have all the little black triangles in place, in all four sections, you can then add an extra line in each 'blade' if you like. That's what I did in the tile above.

Here's another example, this time on a Zendala tile, some sections with extra lines, others without. Only two tangles used! Read more about the tangle Paradox, a.k.a. Rick's Paradox, in my tutorial here. I did a fractangle of Crescent Moon.
Tangles: Crescent Moon and Paradox

  9. I started out just looking for a good explanation on how to do Paradox which I found compliments of you. But how wonderful of you to share your "and then some" creative ideas. Thank you Margaret
