challenge #146 - pea-nuckle/well

The challenge this week - Pea-nuckle and Well ................. together. I find Pea-nuckle frustrating enough on its own, let alone trying to make it work with Well. They do not play well together! At least not in my journal.

So, I fell back on a favourite transitioning tangle - knyt - which works for me as a very structured, yet organic tangle allowing me to go from the more rigid Pea-nuckle to the more flowing Well (you can see the steps on how I draw Well like this here)

It doesn't feel all that exciting to me as I've done similar things before with different patterns, but at least I managed to get these two tangles to call a brief truce. I do like the mechanical feel of Pea-nuckle in this design - reminds me of a stretchy metal lattice thingy. Yeah, one of those. LOL.

2 weeks to go! I did my last Thursday classes today and have just two Tuesdays left.

I love your way of drawing Well, and tried it a few times and like to do it that way.
So much more elegant.

You never cease to amaze me. I love how you made these, to me difficult, tangles look so flowing and easy.
I was already wondering what you would do with this challenge. 'Well' you did GREAT.

I continually stand in awe of your artistic tangles.
No one I know does it like you do! I save many of them just to enjoy over and over again.
Thank you for blessing us with such beauty.

I really like your pea-nuckle. The whole piece looks like it's unraveling, which makes knyt such a great fit!

Wow…. always the unexpected with you - and ever so graceful and beautiful. You really do a have a special eye for adapting a tangle to make it elegant, light and airy. So inspirational!
I like your "steampunk" pea-nuckle. I cannot visualize it that way. I like your flowing Well. Mine tends to be grid based.
