Weekly Challenge #284: "Monotangle to Tripoli"

Well! This weeks challenge from "The Diva" was to create a monotangle using the tangle tripoli. I thought many people would draw tripoli and fill sections with different fragments. It has taken me some time to come up with something a little different and it was an interesting experiment for this challenge.

I began by filling my tile with tripoli. Turning my tile, I drew tripoli again over the top of what I had already drawn. So I had tripoli over the top of tripoli but this time I did not fill the tile.

By the time I had finished it looked pretty messy and I wasn't quite sure what I would do. Throw it away or work with it. So before throwing it away, which I hate doing, I did a great deal of thinking and decided to go with filling the top tripoli that sat inside the triangles of the bottom triploi in black. This still left the messy bits. Oh! What to do? More thinking and time passing I came up with the idea of filling the spaces of the top tripoli with glitter gel pen.

As I was experimenting I didn't think of taking photos of the different steps. I am sorry for this oversight as my written explanation may not make much sense to you.

Here are the final versions of the two tiles I did.

 

 

I actually don't mind the finished tiles and would like to experiment some more at a later date.

I must say I feel they will look totally different to what I was thinking other people would do with this challenge. Once I finish posting this I will head on over to the Diva's blog & check them out.
