"It's a String Thing" #29

It's Tuesday and the good news is...we will be "catchin' some Z's".  Not of the sleepy kind, mind you, but of the tangle pattern kind - although a good night's sleep does sound inviting, doesn't it?!

"It's a String Thing" # 29 begins with Courtney Franz's String 027 from TanglePatterns.com and pictured here with Linda Farmer's kind permission.

In honor of Courtney, we will use tangle patterns that begin with 'Z' - the last letter of her name.

They include:

Zinger, an official Zentangle® pattern
Z-trick by Yamit Fridman
Zedbra by CZTs Margaret Bremner and Laura Harms
Zin by CZT Linda Farmer

This is also exciting because Courtney Franz, as you will read on TanglePatterns, sometimes takes her inspiration for strings from photographs.

With that in mind -  my blog post tomorrow will feature Sindy P's exciting new book
Real Life Strings.  You won't want to miss it!

The patterns and step outs can be found here on TanglePatterns. Use as few or as many as you wish.

Simply pencil the string line onto your tile and tangle away!
