Inspired by... Toodles - part 2 of...


Part 2 of ... how many more?

2! Yes! At least for this year! But honestly, who can resist this tangle? It is so easy to draw; perfect as a monotangle; looks absolutely gorgeous no matter how you draw it; and tangelations flow easily from one's mind to the hand.

I came up with this Toodle version after I saw Eni Oken's fantastic Toodles.

Some more Toodles tangelations (and here in part 1).

In this tile I used the top middle Toodle from the above image. The leaves I modeled off one of my garden plants. I do not know its name but it grows like a weed, climbing and crawling everywhere, hence I aptly call the new tangle "Weedly". (My apologies if somebody else already created this tangle.)

Because the background of the Toodles/Weedly tile is rather dull, lacking some spark, I photoshopped it a bit. Now I can call it "The Radiant Toodles/Weedly tile". (the bg is still dull enough though)

For the below tile I used this accidentally knocked-down plant as a string. (It is presently in water waiting for roots to grow)

Since I was in the PS mood, I gave this tile a digital makeover as well.

So, this is my last post for this year. I wish everybody a happy, healthy and splendid 2018 with lots of Zen and tangles.
