Challenge #86 and Krunstler tangle

Thia week's a challenge to "break free" of boundaries. had fun doing this one.
Magaret Bremner is always an inspiration to me. I feel like her blogs are leading me on a journey of visual challenges and art explorations. I've told you about the nice marbled tangle book, well I have also one of those moleskin books too, the journal sort. Last week in this one, I began to explore Margaret's tangle 'krunstle', which she was inspired to do from the optical design exercises of Julianna Krunstle. The following are the four stages I took this development through. The colours are Prismacolour pencils, which I applied using Julianna's technique.


 
This was developed horizontally first the next vertically

  2. Beautiful tile you made, yet the borde is not broken, but the tangles do break free out of their space. Great job. ;)

  9. Love the stitching around the outside, and your laces and rope that flow through and then out.
