you've been framed

For this week's Diva Challenge we were invited to draw a monotangle using Shattuck.  I've loved Shattuck ever since I first encountered it.  It feels natural to draw and the shading seems to fall into place instinctively and brings it to life.  It's a tangle I often play with, finding tangleations often - in fact one appeared in my Diva tile last week!

I quickly covered a page in my sketchbook with more variations, some extreme, some slight tweaks.  Which got me thinking about the whole monotangle thing - and wondering how far you should alter a tangle without it no longer really being the tangle you started from...

But for my tile I used two variations - one which simply adds weight to the Shattuck detail lines, but which I find really pleasing to the eye.  And the other which started as curved lines within the triangular spaces (I often worked with the curved Shattuck version, but decided to play it straight this time) but in the end looks more like large Antidots or part of Cockels N Mussels (or actually it's quite clearly Bunzo - as my first eagle-eye commenters pointed out! Thank you!).  A few perfs and I'm done.
