Thursday String Idea #14

 It's another Thursday String Idea!

On Friday because I have too much happening in my life.

It's time to start weeding out some of the unimportant stuff,

if there is such a thing, 

and focus on what's important.

Right now what is important is getting ready to make the move to Maine. That's all I think about when I'm not drawing, and usually while I am drawing, too. Hahaha! BUT, back to the string idea. 
Here is my new string for the week, a day late. This string can be interpreted in a lot of ways.  I chose to go with some tangles in the foreground, then use my blox as the background, tangled in a small handmade journal I have. I used scrapbook paper, watercolor paper, mixed media paper, and pages I pre-colored with dylusions ink sprays and Brushos. For tangles I used paradox, ceedarr and blox in the first square. The second square has corn rows, golden, arrowhead, patch, and part of dayz eaze. All are my own patterns with the exception of paradox. Fun times stacking squares!
If you would like to print out the string as a standard 3.5" square, click here. Have fun! Happy Thursday a day late!

New Tangle - Corn Rows

 I have been really busy drawing step outs

to my own tangles.

I have a little square journal that I am keeping them in.

Only the ones that I've developed myself.

Corn rows is one I've been using here and there.

It's easy to draw.

The hardest part is remembering to alternate

the direction of the pods for each row.

 Corn rows can be used as a filler tangle,

or as a border with equally great results.

And there is a wide range of tangleation possibilities.

Here you see it as filler. I think I'll make a border of corn rows next. *  *  *  *  *  *
Our book Tangle It! Journal is in its third week as the #1 Hot New Release on Amazon.

Our book has twenty new tangle patterns in it. If you don't already have a copy,  you can get one here while they are on sale.

Thursday String Idea, #11

 Welcome to Thursday String Idea.

This is week #11 and it's a fun string!

To print at 3 1/2" tile size,

click here.

I enjoyed this string! That top left section is a new tangle I've been working on  and I'm calling it corn rows. Step out to come soon, but there's really nothing to it. It melds right into a variation of merryweather, then frost flower. The little bit of rounding comes with those first two tangles.
To print out the string, simply click here. I hope that you might consider posting your completed string art in our Facebook group  Zentangle All Around where we have fun tangling - - - in the round!

And, if you are looking for some more tangle fun, head on over to Ina's Tangles here and check out her Pattern-a-Day posts for  Inktober.  Bermuda is one of Ina's new tangles.
Ina makes up one third of Simalina, our book publishing team of Simona Cordara, Ina, and myself. If you haven't picked up your copy of Tangle It! Journal yet, you can do that by clicking here. We are still the #1 Hot New Release on Amazon!
