Diva Challenge 200!!!!

200 challenges...wow. I haven't been doing these for very long, and I'm not all that good with words, so I don't have anything profound or eloquent to say...but congrats, Laura!!! ^_^

I think this challenge is great for Laura's goal of getting 200 entries, since there's almost no actual challenge factor (not like that's a bad thing) - just pick your favorite tangle and jump in. My favorite tangle is Mooka...so many delicious, swooping curves ^_^ So, here's my fairly simple 200 Mooka tile.
Tangles used: Mooka...duh
I also did a tile using my new tangle Heavenly, named for the brand of paper towel that I found its inspiration in. And yes, I did actually find a tangle in a paper towel. I think I might be a little too obsessed ^_^ Here are the steps.
First do a seed grid like Mi2 or Summer Sitter, then add 4 dots in the centers 
Then follow the curves of the sides of the seeds to make "pinwheels" on every other section.
Double them up...

...And add the secondary ones behind them.

Here it is in action with some shading. I used regular pencil to shade over the marker as well and was honestly a bit surprised on how nice it looked. I think you could also add extra lines at the points where the 4 "bands" converge to make it look even more woven...but you'd have to be pretty precise in the beginning to make it look neat. Ah well, neatness is overrated. ^_^
Tangles used: Heavenly...again, duh

    Thanks for sharing your new tangle, Heavenly. Being somewhat spatially challenged, I'm having a little trouble with it, but it's worth working on because I really like it and I think it will become a "go to" tangle for both background and up front tangles. I'm also the only person in the world who hasn't set out to learn mooka yet. Nice Bi-Zen-tennial tile. (You're a teenager? Really? Impressive)

      I wouldn't really classify myself as a teenager...more of an old lady trapped in a teenager's body. At least when it comes to tangling. ^_^ Thanks a lot, and I really hope you enjoy Heavenly!

    I would reply to all of you, but then this comments section would be a little too long...so I'll just say thank you to everybody down here. ^_^ I hope you enjoy "Heavenly."

    Both your tiles are heavenly. I will need to try your new pattern. It looks wonderful. You can certainly find patterns in some of the most unusual places.

    Love your mooka work...that gold 200 was a great addition...very festive. I'm somewhat new to tangle work, so it may be awhile before I try the heavenly but i REALLY like how it looks!

    Nice flowing Mooka. Your tangle Heavenly reminds me of a chain link fence. It is a nice tangle and your step out is well done.
