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
