Here is my response to The Diva's Breathe Challenge this week. She said,"Your challenge, should you choose to accept it - is to create a tile or piece using conscious, even breath. To Relax. Breathe. Smile."
What a blessing this challenge has been! I have been playing with Paradox for the past few days and enjoying it...the more familiar I became with it, the more soothing I found it. The final tangle is more of a variation I guess...it is paradox melted down. I did the four dots, joined them to form a border, then drew a string, and filled each section with paradox as much as the string allowed. I was relaxed, aware of my breathing. I did each of the tangles below at bedtime...as I said the other night, it was better than a sleeping pill! When finished this one I thought it looked like a wood spirit. (or maybe a wood nymph)

This one I call Tumbling Paradox, it reminds me of ice cubes tumbling from a glass.
The more I became familiar with this pattern, the more it's repetitiveness relaxed me. A cross made four squares to tangle.
The first one I posted the other night and called Soothing, began with an X inside the border making 4 triangles to tangle with Paradox.
