"It's a String Thing" #254

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

Please know that the tiles for IAST #253 will be posted on Thursday.
They are awe inspiring, so be sure to check back.

For today and for IAST #254, we begin with this string ~

IAST #254 String by Adele Bruno, CZT

The tangles we will use include ~


Tofube by  CZT Damy (Mei Hua) Teng
I like the roundness and poofiness of this tangle and am happy to have an excuse to try it out :)

Barquillos by CZT Maria Tovar (also here on her blog )
In Maria's step out she suggests tangling in a continuous line from one part of the grid to another.  That looks inviting and relaxing, so let's give it a try.


 Keep in mind that strings are merely suggestions. As with all IAST adventures, simply pencil in the string and let the tangles lead the way.
