"It's a String Thing" #154

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

I know that summer can slow our schedules down a bit, so I encourage you to plan ahead and consider IAST #156 (two weeks from today).  It would be wonderful to celebrate our third birthday and the beginning of our fourth year (can you believe it?!) with a record number of entries.

But first, let us concentrate on this week...

We begin with this string ~

IAST#154 string by Adele Bruno, CZT

The patterns for the week include:

Leaflet by Helen Williams
My notes about the tangle can be found here in a post from a few years ago.

Cat-kin by Mimi Lempart, CZT
This is a personal favorite and will work well with Zen Bud.

St. John's Cross by Margaret Bremner, CZT
This will give us a grid based tangle to use with the other more flowing ones.

Zen Bud by Danni O'Brien, CZT
This tangle creates a beautiful rose bud.


Simply pencil the string line onto your tile and tangle away! Keep in mind that string lines are suggestions and let the patterns lead the way.
