Inktober Tangles - Day 26 - Owlpeek by Susan Yeo CZT Owlpeek is an interesting tangle that, depending on how you look at it, looks a bit like a stylized owl. Susan has a couple of examples on her Instagram account of using this tangle as a string! So, I chose to do that here. So although the tangle itself is not use as a design element… it is the entire string. One iteration is drawn to fill the tile, and then the spaces are filled in with other tangles. Keep in mind that this tangle can be flipped upside down, and it will still look the same.
Random tangles can play nice with each other! For this tile I created a string and then filled it with randomly selected tangles. This one worked well, and when I was done, I felt much closer to my normal tangling style. I had less hesitation, fewer crazy lines and the whole thing was very Zen, from start to finish.
