"It's a String Thing" #235

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

After weeks of celebrating one thing or another, let us take a step back to the basics of the method we all adore:  simple pen, pencil, and paper.

We begin with this string ~
IAST #235 String by Adele Bruno, CZT

When I put pen to paper to draw this string, I thought of Maria Thomas.  It looks like something she might come up with and tangle beautifully, doesn't it?

Since we are returning to our roots, let's use a few of Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas' tangles that many of us learned in our early tangling days ~

Hollibaugh
There are many updated versions of this simple tangle - keep it as simple or complex as your mood strikes.
Crescent Moon
Speaking of simple or complex - the same applies to this beloved tangle.
Bales

Fescu
Did you know that fescue is a type of grass?  Isn't that interesting?

As with all our IAST adventures, pencil in the string keeping in mind that it is a suggestion, let the tangles lead the way, and use as many or as few as you wish.

Enjoy!
