Zendala Dare #22 – Monodala


Ok when I saw the Zendala Dare #22 I got a little excited, this dare merged two things I have grown to love, Zendalas and Monotangles. I had to resist the urge to do my favorite Tangle, and my go to tangle since I attended CZT-9 which is Indy-Rella. So I let chaos reign and decided to go completely random. I went to Tanglepatterns.com and had excel choose a random number for me from 1 to 26 [=ROUNDUP(RAND()*(26-1)+1,0)] the result was 23, the letter V. The letter V has nine patterns currently so I had Excel choose another number for me [=ROUNDUP(RAND()*(9-1)+1,0)]the result this time was 5, which meant Verve was my pattern.
            This was a mixed blessing, I happy as it was a pattern I had not used before, but I was really wanted something I could do more Tangleation of. Though it was a pattern I was not very familiar with I am very happy with the outcome. It almost reminds me of a curvy Rick’s Paradox.
            Hope you enjoy this.

OK - I was walking the dog tonight, and it hit me that I should do a second Monodala.... I felt that I should attempt it in Auoraknot, so here is the second Monodala.

    Great work, and glad to hear I am not the only one who tries out the random tangle generator, although I get my kids to randomly select the numbers for me. It makes for some interesting works.

    Both of your tangles are beautifully executed! I love them both - hard to pick one as a favorite, so I'd have to choose both.

    Love to hear how you arrived at using Verve - and well done too! But I really like your use of Auraknot in this zendala pattern.

    Both are wonderful...amazing that they are "only" lines, but can express so much, soft chaos, hard order. Great job!

    I really like your tangles, especially the first! I'm beginning to think Verve is my favourite tangle and, seeing how flowing and alive it looks on your Monodala, I know why.

    Both of your monodalas are lovely. Verve is one of my favorite tangles to look at, but I have trouble doing it; haven't figured out why. And your auraknot is also lovely.
