Weekly Challenge #161: "In a Quandary about Quandary"
Late Monday night I saw that Laura had posted this week's challenge. It's a pattern that never really appealed to me - only because I struggle with it - the tangle is 'Quandary'. She says it's a practise tangle, and she sure was right about that. It was too late to start so the next day on my lunchbreak I decided to practise - the only thing was I couldn't remember if it has 5 or 6 petals! I had a play regardless and then I had a closer look on Tuesday and I discovered it was 6. Then I read her little trick is to do it in sections, triangle by triangle. It seemed like a good idea but when I drew it I kind of do the whole 'flower' I'm going to call it a flower because it looks like one to me :)
Firstly I drew 3 circles and just started somewhere in the middle - I added 'Flowervine' as I thought the two patterns would work well plus to try to give the piece a bit of balance - not sure if I succeeded so I coloured some areas using a blue Copic marker.

Found this on my desk at work (nothing to do with quandary)

...........and there you have it
I hope your week has been travelling kindly :)
I like what you did with Quandary. I think it is a tangle that everyone has to decide the best way for them to approach it. I use the flower method and try to mirror petals. It works for me. I like how you had the vine meander through and also how the petals fall away.
ReplyDeleteYour coloured Quandary is beautiful! Very creative! Also I like your third tile! It´s great!
