Shattuck monotangles


Shattuck is a tangle pattern that I use frequently. It's one of the first official ones I learned and is very similar to the doodle that I've done for years as I talk on the phone. These tiles are all variations on the same Shattuck tangle. Since they don't have any other tangles they are all monotangles. I played with doing it in different strings along with variations in how curvy or how many lines I used.



Both of the two tiles above used a spiral string. I love how different they look simply by changing the number and spacing of the lines.

  5. Really like the spiral strings. I agree the simple variation makes a big difference. Really like the shading in the last one, particularly in the orb on top.

  7. My favourite is your second tile. I like the 3D effect you created and the absence of a hard outline.
