"It's a String Thing" #271

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

Yesterday, I posted the results of IAST #268 and now we are almost caught up.  IAST #269 and #270 will be up and ready to enjoy by week's end.  Yay!

For today's IAST #271, we are going to play with the newest pattern from one of the nicest tanglers around...

XLNT by Jody Genovese, CZT
Jody was featured in my "Where I Tangle" series - click here to see where she gathers her inspiration.

Begin by placing a dot in the approximate center of your tile.  Next, add dots in the surrounding spaces.  Your "string" may look something like this ~

Or something totally different!

Use your dots to make the sparkled black perfs, follow Jody's step out, and tangle away. 
Jody's examples also show a layering of XLNT - feel free to draw only one or multiples.  The choice is yours.

I think that much like our monotangle with Paradox, this will prove to be a very relaxing time tangling.

Feel free to use any size and color of tile.
