Muster Mixer Challenge #8

I finally have the opportunity to participate again. I have been trying to avoid the internet (lol), FB, etc., in hopes of not seeing too many entries.  I like to look at everyone's entry after I post mine.

This month's-oops July's Muster Mixer Challenge #8 uses the tangles Florez by Cookie and Vano by Hanneke Sieben.  Here is the link:  Muster Mixer #8

I have not tried these tangles, so I decided to do monotangles first (always a favorite of mine), then attempted the Muster Mixer.  I would like to share my process:

Florez (not really a monotangle, more of a dry run for me):

Notice in the first row I kept reverting to a more 'NZeppel-like form, which this is sort of a variation, and a tangle I use frequently.  (See Tangle Patterns) In the 2nd and 3rd rows I kept my lines thin (did not darken too much as is indicated) and tightened the space between the angles.  In the third row I just tried  a few variations in the center.

My version of Vano:  Circles are a challenge to me.  I find that if I draw the smaller, inner circle first, then the lines, and then create arcs in between the lines, I can manage to create something resembling a circle.

Monotangle: Vano

Both tangles can be found at tanglepatterns.com.

Here is my entry for Muster Mixer Challenge #8 - "a tangle in a tangle":

I am looking forward to seeing your creations.  I have to catch up on a few past Muster Mixer's and then I will be sure to visit!

Thank you Anya for this challenge.
