Knightstar Fun!

What a fun tangle to play with, Knightstar! By drawing straight lines, you end up with curves...it is a lot like mathematics! ha! It reminds me of an art project my mom taught to her cubscout troop, using cardstock and red yarn. Cool!

It wasn't easy to grasp right off the bat, so I played with it some


I penciled some, and did some individual motifs. 
That piece on the bottom, I tried making it with the squares...it doesn't work as well, does it.

Well, I put it aside for the time being and started just tangling on a blank page in my sketchbook making a sort of Linq type thing and bubbles and flux and stuff...then there was a corner where a grid would fit and I went for it :) Fun!


I kinda like this...not sure what it reminds me of...there's a city and some burgeoning energetic land around it, and a sparkling sky over it....

    I love how your shading lifts it off the page in your journal!

    It was fun to see all your "play" work first and then how you incorporated it right into a piece! Very nicely done!

    Your final composition demonstrates very nicely how Knightstar can be used as a background tangle. The way you shaded the grid lines makes it look like it's suspended in space. Very cool.

    You've really captured some great work with this tangle, especially the individual ones. I'm thinking the Olympics seeped into your consciousness (five complete rings). Nicely done. Cheryl

      ha! It wasn't conscious, but I think you're right. I'm reading a book The Boys in the Boat about the Berlin Olympics of 1936, and the summer Olympics were just getting ready to start when I did this. Huh.
