I used to really, really like tangling within 'pre-strung' strings..... but somewhere along my Zentangle Journey, it has become a not-so-favorite method-of-choice. Or maybe it just depends on the mood-of-the-day. After all, tangling those weekly mandala designs (Zendala Dare) is pretty exciting. At least it has peaked my interest for now. Sometimes I feel claustrophobic and don't want to be confined to a small area designated by a string. I just want be loosy-goosy and pop out-of-the-box with curving, lingering, random lines exuding from the tip of my pen. The pen does all the work.
This week, the Diva's challenge is to work with a predetermined string. Oy. This is going to be a challenge. "What can I possibly do with this?", I thought.
So, I moaned and groaned (for a brief nano-second!) - until I remembered a very cool, brandy-new tangle that I found and fell in love with this week (on line). I have been so anxious to test-drive it, and this predetermined string challenge is the perfect time to give it a go. Once again, the Universe has come to my rescue!!
Because I don't remember the name of this cool new tangle, I was unable to locate it! So, I put my pen into 1st gear and proceeded from memory.... (always a risky venture!) I'm happy with how that tangle looks, but the tile as a whole..........eh.
If you should happen to know/find the name of the tangle in the two- teardrop areas on the tile below, please enlighten me! (Many thanks, in advance.)
