Tangle Card Challenge #4 - Kaleido

Sandra Steen Bartholomew has a new tangle this week for her Tangle Card Contest and I think she might have had me in mind when she decided to give us a simpler tangle to work with this week.

This is the Tangle Card with Kaleido stepped out.

  

She suggests that the pattern made after drawing the "grid" can be used as a string and the spaces can be filled with tangles.  Well that intrigued me and off I went.  

I started with a circle to pay homage to a kaleidoscope, although I am not really sure what Sandra named it after but, it reminded me of one. My straight lines I used vertically (just because I could) and my curvy any-which-way lines kind of crossed the straight ones.  I should have taken a before picture, sorry. I filled in the Printemps with sepia .005 Micron and was going to leave the alternate spaces white but, then looking at it, a black pattern was asking to be drawn. The end result reminds me of fine Japanese paper.




I could not find the black pattern named anywhere but I have the same pattern on my soy sauce dishes used for sushi:


If anyone out there has a name for it please let me know!
