Since this week’s diva challenge is a duotangle with specified tangles, there was no need for me to check focus tangles from my usual sources. However Tripoli and I are not very good friends, so I decided to look for a video tutorial to give me some help with it. I found this one by Melinda Barlow.
Melinda pointed out in the video that when Tripoli was released it was noted as a grid tangle. Well, I can do grid tangles. Mine are usually pretty wonky, so I don’t expect it to turn out perfect like others’ do.
I focused on her suggestion to work it n rows and imaginary grid. I did a lot better keeping my lines evenly spaced this time, so it will probably serve me well in the future. I didn’t end up with those pretty circular sections that I usually see in other people’s use of Tripoli but it worked here.
I decided to draw large Shattuck sections/strips diagonally across my tile. Then started in the middle and tangled in some Tripoli. I did two sections alike, and behind one separating bar in Hollibaugh fashion. I did do a section with just Shattuck only I used arches instead of straight lines. I generally forget that Shattuck is supposed to have straight lines instead of arcs. I also did some small Tripoli.
Here is my tile before shading.
After I scanned this I decided to tangle some Shattuck arches over some of the Tripoli.
Overall, I like how this tangle turned out.
I’m really glad I tangled the arches over the medium size Tripoli, I like how it looks.
I really appreciate you stopping by. I also really enjoy and am encouraged by all your comments.
Until next time, God bless,

Beautiful!!!!
Look what you did! You put Shattuck inside of Tripoli and Tripoli in that Shattuck! So cool!
Great shading and I love the shattuck over the top of Tripoli!
