Blossom
Shape is a really interesting concept when taken in the context of Blossom. It’s not a tangle that creates shape easily—but it can definitely be done, as I have shown here.
Blossom, Onamato (tangleation)
Whether an accent to a shape or defining the shape itself, Blossom has the flexibility to be what you need it to be. By all means, play with it and vary it as needed. It’s designed to work that way.
Use these basic shapes to play with Blossom, changing elements as you need to make it work for you. Look at what other tangles you can combine with this tangle to great effect.
