"It's a String Thing" #129

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

As the first month of the New Year comes to a close this week, we will begin a series of three heart themed challenges.  

I promise that if you are a fan of hearts (as I am), you will love what's in store.

I promise, too, that if you aren't particularly drawn to hearts (pun intended) - you will fall in love with these new  and not-so-new patterns.

We begin with TanglePatterns String 169 by Beth Snoderly ~

 The string gives just a hint of a heart with its intersecting curves - just enough to lend itself to these tangles:

This newer tangle has a light and airy feel to it.

This tangle can be dense or light, used as a filler, or pop a few here and there.

Sweet and simple, this pattern can be aura-ed and embellished in countless ways.
