Tripoli

I love the tangle Tripoli. I think it's because this tangle is almost more of a way to set up a triangle grid rather than a strict pattern per se. Within the grid you can fill the triangles with all manner of different things for totally different looks.

Here is some of my play with Tripoli.

For the first tile I used Zentangle's basic 'triangle' string. (It's sideways now.)

I had a tile with an 'R' string so I used that next. (It's upside down now.)

Then I pulled out a bookmark-in-waiting with some old art on it. Nice colors, and the original art had a bit of a square grid so that was a little challenge.

As always, thanks Laura the Diva CZT!

      Thanks Shelly. That's an interesting comment. I hadn't really thought about the spacing!

    Technically then you are using a triangle shaped "reticula" with different "fragments" in each triangle. Wouldn't you say? Just to try to access some of Maria and Rick's new viewpoint.

      Yes, I think I'd say that. Tripoli is a triangle reticula (to me), normally filled with the same thing in each triangle.

    Wonderful! I 'specially love the section in the second tile on the right side that looks so dimensional!

    I have always struggled with Tripoli, somehow when I try to place them together, always in a circular fashion, I lose the plot! I've never thought of them as a "triangular grid", but now it makes sense! Love your work as always, so inspirational!

      Thanks Brenda. Sometimes it just takes a new way of looking at something.
