Rockpool tangling

Having spent a week in beautiful Cornwall, with its wonderful beaches, I was inspired to tangle a 'rockpool' tile. The barnacles covering the rocks looked like they would make a great tangle, so I've included them in the top-right of this tile (along with some Limpitz by Jo Newsham). I did find another barnacle-inspired tangle - Barney by Sadelle Wiltshire - but this is a different enough I think. Other tangles include Antidots (Anita Roby-Lavery), M-Anning (Teresa Clerc), Kelp (Nancy Domnauer), Scallops (Suzanne McNeill) and Zentangle originals Pendrills, Mooka, Pokeleaf, Pokeroot.

Circe

This is Staub Korn's lovely tangle Circe (top-left and bottom-right in the tile below) along with Christine Courtois' tangelation of it, CirceC2 (in the middle). I added a curvy Tripoli tangelation to match the CirceC2 design. I actually found it easier to draw Circe as tessellated curvy triangles, rather than drawing the grid in pencil first as Staub shows in her stepout. It still needs a bit of concentration (CirceC2 in particular!) but I do love the end result!
