Chainlea

I was playing with shapes the other day to see if I could come up with a new tangle...not sure if this has already been done, but I'm calling it "Chainlea" because it kinda reminds me of a chain and a leaf.

Here are the basic steps along with some variations - Enjoy!

New Fairy Tangle ACEO - Silver Whispers

I was going to do this one in all color pencil, but then I liked the way the black and white was looking with the color, so decided to do the shading of the tangles in graphite...I think it works, do you?

New Year's Cardinal - finished this one on New Year's Day.
