A set of tangles evolved from an old woven room divider

The following tangles were inspired by the design on an old woven room divider that I use as a sun screen.  revolution inspiration

Starting at the center I took 7-9 rays off the center circle, then added the lines to finish the pattern. By turning or revolving the tile at each section lines are kept organized and aligned to the correct angle in relation to the centre.  I call it Revolution.

Here is a utube video that Bernie Galerie made on this tangle

Playing further I tried a square and triangle at the center, took rays off them in a rotating manner and it worked so I called them squavolution and trivolution.

All four tangles work well on a tile respecting the strings that are laid down.

The key is taking rays off the center shape and building outward in a rotating fashion.

ENJOY!

Diva Challenge #138

A while back I started collecting tangles that looked good as frames so when I saw the Maria and Rick’s new blog entry about borders and then the diva challenge related to it I was thrilled. Now I get to see how other tanglers create borders.

So many amazing entries, take a look!    I am the diva website link

Here is my entry.

I wanted to add color but did not want to forget what the black and white  zentangle looked like so I took pictures during the process.  Here is the evolution of the tile.
