Floating Cubine

I like the impression of depth that can be achieved with some tangles and Cubine is a great example. It's like looking through little windows, or a sectioned box. But instead of doing Cubine in the classic square grid, you can use a single fragment of Cubine and place it in an empty space on your tile. I also recently referred to this as 'sprinkled' Cubines.

Here's an example of a floating Cubine. There are two Cubine fragments side-by-side creating 'holes', but the floating Cubine looks as if there's another hole through the main white section.

Tangles: Beadlines, Cubine, Knase, 'Nzeppel, Zonked.

Here's another example, amongst a lot of 'normal' Cubine fragments. (The floating one is off on the right side.)

In a Kitchen Table Tangles episode on the Zentangle Mosaic app Rick demonstrated a Cadent variation which quite enchanted me. The square shapes in the resulting pattern struck me as possible floating Cubine fragments so I did that in this tile. Here they are more "sprinkled". :)

Tangles: Cadent, Cubine, Pearlz

Finally, here's a tan tile just for something different. There are four floating Cubines here, well, actually three and a half.

Tangles: Apacore, Black Pearlz, Crescent Moon,
Cubine, Elirob, Tipple.

More ideas for variations of Cubine are in my "And then some" blog post here.
