The tangle that is being highlighted in this week's challenge is called 'Birds on a Wire', created by Mary Kissel, CZT.
I must have been 'on holiday' when this tangle pattern was released because it looks new to me. And, sure enough, if you check out Mary's blog and follow her step-out, the pattern does resemble birds sitting on a wire. (Remember the movie by that name (1990) with Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson?)
I wasn't quite sure how to artistically use Mary's tangle in a design, and this was, indeed, a challenge for me. So, rather than having it be the main entree/center of attention, I'm using it as a side dish.
Have you been following Erin and her weekly Zendala Dare? I have been too chicken to participate. Why? Mandala designs - or Zendalas, for tangling purposes, intimidate me. Why? Don't know. This is my first Zendala attempt. (template from Erin's Zendala Dare #55.)
