TUT~ It's a String Thing! #245

https://tanglepatterns.com/2017/01/tanglepatterns-string-245.html

This week’s String is shared by California tangler Barbara Finwall for your creative enjoyment.

Bear in mind that Zentangle® strings are guidelines and they have no right side up. Strings are always drawn freehand in pencil so they magically disappear into your completed Zentangle.

You can use a string exactly as it is or adapt it to suit as your Zentangle grows. Start with the string as it’s shown then, as you go, combine sections if your tangles want to, or divide a section into smaller ones. Go with the flow and enjoy.

Reminders:

Important: Strings are always drawn freehand in pencil so they magically disappear into your completed Zentangle. Use any string over and over again with different tangles. There are so many tangles available that your Zentangles will always be different even using the same string. Or use it with only one tangle – a monotangle. Usually each string will have many options. The Border (if one is given) is also a suggestion – use it, change it, or ignore it. It’s your art. And remember, in Zentangle there’s no right-side-up!
