Weekly Challenge #202: "DuoTangle: Chebucto vs Copada"

The challenge for this week is to use two "border" tangles from the very talented Margaret Bremner. You will find Copada and Chebucto at her site the Enthusiastic Artist where you should take some time to browse because she has a wealth of information and beautiful art.

I am not sure I did her tangles justice but this was my result:



After posting this I felt it was a little unbalanced. I added black to the inner Copada brackets and it feels better to me now.



What do you think? Should I blacken in the outer ones too? I may just do that to see what a difference it makes. Back soon.



I think I like the last one best!

    It's just right. Sometimes simple is best.

    Very inventive! I like the middle one best. It feels lighter to me.

    Quite a change from the first to the last; I think the last one is the most balanced. Beautiful.

    I think the last one has some nice balance in the contrast. I filled in some areas also for the same reason, although I did not have black border. Like how your shading of Chebucto makes it rise above the background.

    I like all three, they show how different a tile can look with small changes.

    I enjoy seeing your progressions. :) All three were/are beautiful. It's pretty cool though to see how one somewhat minor change can make such a difference. :)

    Loving your piece...and to see it move from one effect to the other is so interesting! Great idea to do that!
