"It's a String Thing" #143

It is Tuesday, your good news day!

It is also means we are just a few days away from the opening reception of the Tickled To Tangle Art Show - the first of its kind at the Casselberry Art House.

The Art House is the loveliest of spaces and the Zentangle® and ZIA exhibit is ready for visitors. I can hardly believe it!

Since many of you are just too far away to drop by, this week's challenge will provide a bit of virtual participation.

We begin with a string inspired by the front door - just a glimpse of the left side - of the Art House  (as pictured on my blog header) ~

 With mosaics and texture in mind, I chose these tangles ~

and three tangles by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts:

Swarm 
Swarm was published in their newsletter in 2009.  It is interesting to note as you will read, that they hosted a monthly challenge back then.
N'Zeppel
and Tipple  

Over the weekend, I will post some pictures of the reception and of the show.  In the meantime, tangle your own entrance way to the show!  It will be a treat to see the results on Monday.
