Bumpadox - St. Patrick's Day Style

 Here is a wee bit o' tangling fun for St. Patrick's Day...


 I combined Carole Ohl's take on Paradox, her very clever Bumpadox, (Click here to read Carole's post and view her step out.) and added shamrock 'bumps'.

A bit o' green and shading to accent the dips and curves and this tangle really comes alive.
I began with a 3z tile since the shape lends itself to a simple Paradox.
Besides, wouldn't St. Patrick smile to see three leafed clovers on a three sided tile.

I snapped photos as I tangled and this is how it unfolded ~


*a simple border
 *the first lines of Paradox
*lightly penciled shamrocks
 *and traced with Micron
*lines follow the point/space rhythm (click here for my Tips for Tangling)
  as aura moves over and around the shamrock 
*and so on...
*aura tucks under (in Hollibaugh fashion) when lines meet
*until all of the space is filled
*a bit o' green
*and shading finish it off!
