I like the impression of depth that can be achieved with some tangles and Cubine is a great example. It's like looking through little windows, or a sectioned box. But instead of doing Cubine in the classic square grid, you can use a single fragment of Cubine and place it in an empty space on your tile. I also recently referred to this as 'sprinkled' Cubines.
Here's an example of a floating Cubine. There are two Cubine fragments side-by-side creating 'holes', but the floating Cubine looks as if there's another hole through the main white section.
Tangles: Beadlines, Cubine, Knase, 'Nzeppel, Zonked.
Finally, here's a tan tile just for something different. There are four floating Cubines here, well, actually three and a half.
More ideas for variations of Cubine are in my "And then some" blog post here.
I'm always fascinated with your take on various tangles. I love how you bend, mold, manipulate, truncate and morph them into newness! What a creative mind ... Floating Cubine is a marvelous example. Your Cubine and Then Some post is one of my all-time favorites - chock full of inventive variations ... and now here's ANOTHER! Bravo!!
Thank you for giving us so much inspiration, this is a wonderful post!
Thank you Ria! I've just seen Ilac on tanglepatterns and hope to try it soon.
Awesomeness abounds! I can't wait to play with this tomorrow!
This is fabulous Margaret! I always love seeing your design takes on tangles. And I especially love how you inspire me to take risks and think outside the box!
