I drew two drawings...one that looks similar to Helen's and one that doesn't look so similar to Helen's. So let's start with the 'not-so-similar-to-Helen's'.
I drew 4 rings and placed one Fickle eye onto each ring string. The rest developed by itself. The coloring happened in Photoshop (two adjustment layers: overlay and dissolve)
Pattern: Fickle
Here the version that looks more like Helen's. I have to confess, I had to give it several tries and still haven't really found out how she did hers. Anyway, this is my feeble attempt to Fickle.

I've never seen this tangle, so I have nothing to compare it to (not that we "compare" them anyway, since "comparing" leads to "comparanoia"), but I think both of these are just lovely. Your linework is exquisite too.
ReplyDeleteIt is just one of Helen's accidental tangles and we will have to wait and see whether she will ever make an official tangle out of it. As for lines: It is easy to misguide and deceive the seeing eye with curvy lines in a sort of flowery style than straight lines. You obviously haven't seen any of my straight lines - yet.
