Diva's Weekly Challenge #360: Shattuck vs Tripoli

When I saw that this week's Diva Challenge #360 was a duotangle of Shattuck and Tripoli I had to get stuck in! Shattuck is one of my all time favourites, but I don't often use Tripoli. I quickly decided I wanted to use Shattuck as a string, or reticula, and fill the sections with more Shattuck and Tripoli. I started the tile on Monday, but didn't get very far, then work got in the way mid-week! Finally had time to finish it on Thursday evening. I think I was avoiding it slightly, as I wasn't too keen on how it was looking, but I trusted the process and once the shading was added I was much happier - as always! I've been avoiding looking at all the other challenge entries until now, as I didn't want to be influenced by anyone else, so I'm looking forward to catching up now! No doubt I'll pick up some great ideas for future tangling :-)
