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!

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

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

  5. 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.

  14. 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.
