My husband saw me experimenting with the tangle on a rough piece of paper & thought it was a snake - whereupon I gave my swirly scrawl a head which rather put me in mind of a duck-billed platypus. This is what evolved when I worked on the idea in my notebook & although my husband settled for it being a python, I think this creature looks far too benign for that so I'm naming it a "duck-billed brayd."

Wonderful detail! Your brayd is lovely and I love the 'swoopy' tail.
What a great tile. I'm with your husband, he may be benign, but he's still a snake! Love the cadent background, and I think your border is gorgeous. I don't see any mistakes at all.
thanks for participating in my ia challenge, you're very good at tangling, it takes such a steady hand,
Best,
Jenn

Very out of the box Paula, it is superb, and whether its a mammal or a reptile your tangle with Brayd is outstanding, just love the shape of it, so flowing.
You are really going to town with your tangles and this snake or duck-billed creature is amazing and sits so well within the cadent background.
You are getting really good at tangling Paula and I love your duck billed bryad he is so flowing and looks fab against that background

Very nice, like a figure from keltisch motifs.
These tangles are feasts for the eyes! Paula you are a master of this technique. I would love to hear how long a design like this takes and the process of how the images appear to you and develop into the design!
Oh my word, Paula! This is brilliant! I LOVE it!
He looks like a happy little fellow!
Fabulous work Paula, love the face on your duck billed brayd. The cadent background is great, that's one of my favourite patterns.I love the fee flowing image set against the more regimented background and frame. Great work, Judith xx
Love it Paula you are so clever.
