"It's a String Thing" #20

Happy One Day After Christmas!

This week our challenge time frame is adjusted just a bit because of the holidays, so I will happily accept submissions through Sunday.

We begin with String 028 as posted on Tangle Patterns and created by Anne Marks:

 

 

In honor of Anne, we will use two tangle patterns that begin with the letter "A" : 

 

Ahh - an official Zentangle® pattern  and

 

Afterglo by Carole Ohl

 

Both tangles have a festive feel and seem just right for the time of year.

 

The step outs for these patterns can be found here on Linda Farmer's fabulous Tangle Patterns.

 

As Linda suggests when she first published String 028 - remember string lines are suggestions so just "free hand the shapes onto your tile as best you can" and tangle away!

 

 

This exercise is for beginner and seasoned tanglers alike.  Use it as an excuse to keep up with your art work, take time for yourself, learn new patterns, share your talent...
