This tile features a variant of Purk, linked by Betweed, and bordered with Shattuck. I used a Renaissance tile as I wanted to see how it would work with Purk and a white wax pencil for highlights.
I'm still struggling with Betweed. The heavy weights at the end of each line go lumpy for me. Any suggestions?
This second tile is another Renaissance tile and a white waxed pencil. I started with two Barber Poles (take a look at my recent Opus tiles to see how I've used them), added some Tripoli to accidentally create a brick-like string and then went a bit crazy adding other tangles. Printemps, Tipple, Tagh, Quabog and another tangle I don't know the name of are here. This is a good argument that less is best. Not one of my better tiles but it's the process that counts, right?
Enjoy.

Lovely tiles, like the shiny on Knightsbridge
Yes, it is the process that counts, but you have made some delightful tiles to look at. I particularly like the first one and the Betweed doesn't look "lumpy" to me at all :)
Lovely tiles! My favourite is the first one. Just so simple and elegant.
I like all of these. I have the same problem with Betweed as you do, but when I look at yours, I see no problem at all.
Lovely tiles! It is the process that counts, but the results you've created count as 'well done' as well! :-)
Yummy! Just sayin'.
I like what you did with the Diva's challenge on the Renaissance tile. When I use Betweed, my edges do sometimes get a little "lumpy" because I'm usually having to try to blend the crossing curved line into the vertical side lines. I usually just go back and clean it up by making the in between vertical lines thicker. But, as someone said above, your's looks fine and even if it had a few lumps----I think the Zentangle ethos wouldn't want you to care. (I admit I'm much better at giving this advice than following it). ;-)
