Diva Challenge 104 Use TP string 003


When I saw that this string was one continuous line, I thought, ahha, another celtic knot. However this one was quite tricky, especially in the bottom left where the angles are so acute. In the end I had to make the angles less acute so that I could get the unders and overs going the right way. It turned into a kind of Moebius Celtic Knot. Does the tangle in the background have a name? I got the idea from a couple of the Moebius Sydrome submissions. It looked easy but it wasn't.

The string for it can be found here.

Update: The name of the background tangle is NEURON. Thanks Jana for the information.

  4. This is really great. I love the way you turned it into a ribbon celtic knot. And yes it reminds me of moebius too. The background is great. I don't know either if it has a name, but it is neat looking.

    Love it and the shading is really well done. The background could be NEURON but I'm not quite sure. :)

  13. I like the ribbon, and I like the background. But the total is more than the sum of its parts.
