String #11 for January 11th

 I tried several times yesterday to make a post,

but Photobucket was down and so many of my photos

were missing. 

I didn't want to draw attention to that.

And it seems I have lost 11 subscribers since yesterday.

I don't know if that is because the blog looked so messed up yesterday, or not. 

I do apologize, but I have no control over Photobucket.

That is where all my photos are stored.

They have me totally at their mercy.

At lease it is back to normal today.

Above you see string #11 that I posted for January 11th.

From top to bottom I used - scallops, rixty, and florz. This was a fun string to tangle up. I love rixty, though I rarely use it. I need to rectify that situation. I need to work on those black sections and figure out how to make them more uniform.
If you should want to play along with our String Symphony - one new string for each day of the year -  then head on over to Zentangle All Around at this link and send me a join request. Hope to see you there!

String 009

Tangle Patterns is hosting another string this week, the offering of Sue Zanker.

My first tile came together really quick! I decided to just tangle along the string with pokeleaf. Then I added the background of blox - one of my tangles. I'll try to add the steps once I get them drawn out.

Second offering - an assortment of tangles. Cadent, hollibaugh, yincut, swarm, scallops.


Both tiles watercolored with a child's paintset from Wal-Mart. Haha! It works great! I also used Pitt Artist Markers in the first. You can see the string tiles at Tangle Patterns flickr page.
