Weekly Challenge #357: "Monotangle - Paradox time!"

I love Paradox! It is one of my favourite tangles and is the challenge in this weeks Diva Challenge. We were to create a monotangle only using Paradox. Here is my tile for the challenge.

I really enjoyed making this tile. You will notice it is on a black tile. I am loving the white on black look at the moment and all my tangling is on black tiles. This tile has Paradox inside of Paradox on top of Paradox.

New Tangle Pattern - Grassroots

Where does time go? It's been ages since I posted a new tangle pattern. So, I have one here for you today. It's called Grassroots.

Grassroots is a very simple tangle using the basic elements of the .  and (. This tangle also uses a dot grid as its base.

This very simple tangle can be used as is. Also, as I was playing with it I kept thinking of it as the foundation to many, many tangleations. So in naming this tangle pattern I looked for a word that meant foundation and came up with Grassroots. Dictionary.com defines grassroots as 'the origin or basis of something; the basic or primary concept, rule, part, or the like.' I also looked up vocabulary.com and this is the wording they used: 'Something grassroots is at the most basic level of something, down there in the dirt with the roots of an idea or activity. If you’re looking to make a change from the ground up, start at the grassroots.' A perfect description for this tangle pattern.

I hope you enjoy Grassroots as much as I have when playing with and exploring the possibilities this tangle provides.
