"It's a String Thing" #27

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

Watching the Olympic games, I couldn't help but notice the patchwork of patterns sprinkled everywhere.  It is the "official look" of the Russian Olympic games meant to symbolize the wealth of Russia's diverse traditions in one warm and welcoming quilt.

To celebrate the Olympics, let's make a patchwork of tangles this week for "It's a String Thing" #27.

We begin with String 033 by Esther Episzczek as posted by Linda Farmer on Tangle Patterns.  With Linda's kind permission, here is the string -

In honor of Esther, we will use these tangle patterns that begin with the letter 'E' :

Echo by Sue Clark, CZT  Be sure to look up Sue's variations of the pattern - there are so many it would be possible to complete this challenge as a monotangle!

Efilys by Sandra Strait

5 official Zentangle® patterns:
Echoism 
Eke 
Emingle  
Ennies      
Eye-wa

and
Equerre - by Genevieve Crabe, CZT - Where would we be without her Weekly Round-ups?

Use as few or as many of these tangle patterns as you wish.
Step-outs for these tangles can be found here on Tangle Patterns.

Simply pencil in your string line 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...
