"It's a String Thing" #142

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

This week, we are concentrating on two tangles by Maria Thomas, Zentangle® co-founder and doing something just a bit different for a string.

Let's begin with the tangles:

Quib
This is a curious mix of Hollibaugh and aura.  You can see from Maria's examples that the tangle is very versatile.

Echoism
The link will take you a TanglePatterns page.  There are two other references to explore - a video by Sue Jacobs, CZT and an incredible post by Margaret Bremner, CZT.


As for the string, you will create it by tangling Quib first.
Begin with two dots, placed on opposite ends of your tile, in any direction you prefer.
They can be diagonal, north and south, east and west - just so they are on opposite ends of the tile.

By doing so, you will divide your tile into sections using Quib as your string - great fun!

You have the option to tangle more Quib, or use Echoism to complete your tile.

I do realize this is more free form than usual - but let's stretch our creative muscles a bit and give it a go.  Can you even imagine the diverse cache of tiles on Monday's post?!
