Zendala Dare #22 Monodala

The challenge this week as well as being a mandala was to complete it using only one tangle. See the challenge here.

I really enjoy monotangles and did one for last weeks Zendala dare and also last weeks Diva challenge. I find that it requires much less thinking and trying to work out which tangles go together. Once you start with a tangle there's no stopping until you are done.

I enjoyed this so much this week I did 3 different tiles.

I started with one of my favourite tangles, Auraknot. It was a bit tricky at first working out exactly how this would link together, but I love how it turned out.


I then had a go with Mooka, which just seemed to sit nicely in the teardrop shapes of the mandala.


My final attempt was to leave less white space and go for a more filled look. Hence the use of  Shattuck


A great challenge this week and I have to stop now or I will be up all night.

Thanks to everyone who left coments last week they are much appreciated.

    These are all gorgeous - the mooka one is by far my favourite! It looks like it could be on a museum wall :)
