Trifle can fit in any shape of space you have. I think the trickiest part is to get the triangles facing more or less the same direction throughout the space.
Looking at the space you want to fill, determine where you can place one very large triangle so each point touches a side. Draw it. Then, in the remaining spaces, again determine where you can place one very large triangle. They will be smaller than that first triangle. Simply continue like this until you have filled the space with ever smaller triangles. Fill the background black.
Easy peasy!
Here's Trifle with some other triangular tangles.
Tangles: Beadlines, Ing, Knase, Trifle, Tripoli |
Tangles: Beadlines, Pearlz, Rain, Tipple, Trifle |
Tangles: Fassett, Trifle |
BTW: It's getting harder and harder to keep track of tangles and names. If this pattern has been presented elsewhere, or if the name has been used already, please let me know!
I love it.
ReplyDeletewow
ReplyDeleteit is simple
it is funny
it is great
and totally flexible
I love it!!!!
I like that the pattern doesn't need to be compensated to fill the area. Cool.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteGreat tangle. FYI, this is actually a mathematical concept called a fractal, specifically the Sierpinski triangle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpinski_triangle for more info) Love when Maths and Art collide!
ReplyDeleteTerrific tangle! I can see lots of ways to use it.
ReplyDeleteWould this be a triangular Apollonian Gasket?
ReplyDeleteThe basic idea goes by quite a number of names apparently. As a tangle it's much less rigidly organized.
DeleteSo simple, yet elegant. The best tangles are just so! Thank you for sharing.
