Betweed, Diva Challenge #191

This week's Diva Challenge was to make a monotangle using the pattern betweed.  This is a tangle I use in small areas, not one I normally do as a monotangle. Here is what I did:

I used a standard 3 1/2" square official zentangle tile. This wonky oval in pencil became my string.

Using a micron, I began my betweed with some overlapping, arcing lines creating six sections.

Then I took one section at a time and drew the alternating lines that make it betweed, ending each line with a  little fescu.

I kept adding one section at a time . . .

. . . until I had each section tangled with betweed.

Typically in zentangle® we don't use erasers. The lines are supposed to blend into the drawing. I elected to ignore that directive and I erased the outside line - my string. To make this piece of art have a more finished look, I added more fescu into the outer edges of some of the sections. Shading with a pencil provided dimension.
