Duo Tangle: Diva's Challenge 202 chepucto and copada

What a cool challenge from the Diva. Two patterns that I've never heard of or seen before...together!

so, I added both Chepucto and Copada to my informal list at the back of my sketchbook, and then played around some with both of them. I ended up with this, using a pretty traditional border and string, and came up with an idea


I did a curve of copada, and added a single element of that pattern in the top left corner. Then, doing similar with chebucto, I added a single element of that pattern...and filled it in with copada. I LOVED how that looked, and a plan for a tile solidified.










This is from my sketchbook, but i plan on making something like it onto a tile, so I can put it in my three ring binder.

Going around the corners with Copada is a little bit tricky, but I like how it arranges itself so there is one "petal" to each side, on the ends of the chepucto. Wouldn't this make a great border!

I played with chepucto a good deal more than Copada, so I'm going to spend some time with copada tomorrow. Two very fun patterns!

    I very much like your concept of adding the two Challenge Patterns into one design element. Love your shading and the touch of color.

    What a great idea to combine the two patterns as you did in your sketchbook. They look very nice in only "one" pattern :-)

    Very nice pieces. I always like to see pieces of a tangle "escaping" from something so confining. Good thinking!

    Wow, that second piece is just great. How clever to do Copada into Chebucto, gives so much dimension and such a total different look. I love this combo.

    I like your final tile and the concept you used in the practice tile.

    Love the shading and 3d look in your final tile. The single element looks so elegant. I'll have to try to remember that one.

    I really like the second border piece as well, awesome combo and the shading makes it so much more then 'just' a border.

    I like both of these...but I especially like the second one. Love how you did the copada in the corners. AND you did it so well.
