Do you ever get an idea for a tile but it doesn’t end up like you thought it would?

This is an example of that!

This started with the tangle Aiposaat. I was going to draw it as a spiral, but it didn’t happen. Then I thought I would add a triangular pattern next to the zig-azg edge. That was a bit strange because of the variation in the zig zags. So I decided to treat it as a curved element and add more patterns on the curve. Then I filled in the two corners with patterns I could think of that fit.

After an application of my magic wand (pencil shading), I don’t hate it.

On to another day!
