Sankegg

I noted this tangle when Diva Laura first showed it on her blog, but I thought, "Too tricky. I'll try it later." This Monday, it was later and Sankegg is the Zentangle challenge this week.

This is a tangle that requires greater concentration! I could not get the points to come in and meet at nice angles near the center. You can see my first attempt to draw this tangle in the upper left of the first tile. I attempted to fix it with some black sections. :)  I did a little better in the lower right.
Tangles: Chartz, Knase, Sankegg, Tipple, Wunderwall
Here's my second tile, with two more versions of Sankegg. I discovered that even if the angles are rather wonky and it looks rather bad at the outset, the effect is nonetheless there at the end. Pretty cool.
Tangles: Beadlines, Black Pearlz, Paradox, Sankegg, Tripoli and stripes

  2. Great Sankegg and variations in both, but I'm loving Wunderwall in the first, and in the second - the wonderful black pearls that balance sankegg and terrific balance of dark and light areas. Both have so much to look at (and learn from...)

  4. Nice job. I agree that can get too caught up in getting the angles as is not that important. Found size more of an issue, particularly if wanted to put something in the triangles between.

  7. I love the variations in the bottom right of the first tile and top right of the second! Both tiles look great, and wonderfully shaded... I have much to learn.

  10. Simply amazing! I guess there is a lesson here; don't quit and it will work out. These are both beautifully done.

  13. I especially love the second one - the center figure reminds me of a bird.
