"It's a String Thing" #239

It is Tuesday, your good news day!

Monday's IAST featuring my new tangle Mack just posted today, so if you missed viewing those glorious tiles, click here.

This week's challenge is inspired by CZT Ria Matheussen's latest tangle, Tupuk.  It was featured on the March 2nd post of TanglePatterns (link to follow).

Let's begin with this string ~

IAST #239 String by Adele Bruno, CZT

The tangles we will use include ~

Tupuk by Ria Matheussen, CZT
What fun to use a tangle designed by Ria, a frequent contributor to IAST.  Ria takes time to leave the nicest, encouraging comments on many tangled blogs.  It will be a treat to treat her!

Flec by Jem Miller
This tangle is similar in its inspiration, but different in its nature.  It will compliment Tupuk well.
This is the second time we've used Flec in a challenge, a tangle by IAST VIP, Ragged Ray.

Fassett  by Lynn Mead, CZT
Ria used Fassett in one of her examples, so I thought it would be a good idea to include it here.  It is always a 'fan favorite' - and one of mine, too!

As with all our IAST adventures, simply pencil in the string keeping in mind that it is a suggestion, and let the tangles lead the way.

Enjoy!
