Diva Challenge #202 ~ Duo-Tangle

Another week and another challenge from the "Diva" .... a duo-tangle using two tangles only two tangles: Chebucto and Copada, both by Canadian CZT, Margaret Bremner.  These are both lovely tangles, probably more suitable for edges or frames than main tangles, but still beautiful. That is, until I tried to put them together on one tile. They fought me and I fought them ... I think that I must have used half my sketchbook trying to get them to play nice on the same piece. But I finally managed one that I deem is okay, so here it is ~ along with a couple of unfinished ones that I may use for inspiration at another time *or not*

Unfinished challenge tile ~ I just could seem to get this
one to work with me at all.  Maybe one of these days I
can figure out where to go with this; if not, well, it was good
practice!


Another unfinished challenge tile. I didn't like the thick lines
around the Chebucto, and I have absolutely NO IDEA why I
stuck the brown bit in there.  But there are some parts of it I
like, so maybe I will just put them into another design one day.
I just couldn't believe the problems that I had in getting these two to play together. But now that I know how to do them both and found how versatile they can look, I plan on using them more.  Thank you Diva and thank you Margaret!

If you want to join in the fun or see what the other tanglers have done with this challenge, just take a look at the Diva's blog "I am the Diva" . There are a lot of talented artists there and I'm going to go take a look at them now.  Thanks for looking at my attempts and of course, comments are always welcome.
