Zendala Dare #15 . . . Already?

It is so hard to believe that we are already at week fifteen of Erin's Zendala Dare! I love doing this challenge every week. I was so busy last week - working on a new facebook page and working on my blog - I just never got around to last week's zendala. I plan on doing it later today so I can get caught up :). Above is the template Erin gave us this week. It reminded Erin of candy. To me it looked like Christmas packages and I was determined not to tangle a bunch of packages. 

So I just started thinking about random patterns that would work well in lines. And I switched a few of them up to make it work even better. Threw in a couple of my own patterns and this is what I got. Hopefully it isn't too random, but at least it doesn't look like Christmas paper - haha! (Actually I love Christmas paper, I just didn't want to do the expected.)


Patterns - auraknot, hollibaugh, crossroads, muzic, melody/variation, newell, woods/weave mixed together, knightsbridge/variation, fescu, and my patterns blox and pipez.

Music For The Heart

Tangle Patterns' String 007 - I decided to go with a music theme. I was just flipping through some pages of patterns and this is what I came up with. I don't typically leave a bunch of white space, but I kind of liked it this time. Patterns: Msst, melody, variation of puff, and I threw in a keyboard :).

This is the string Linda gave us to work with. The string was shared by Mirjam Baart of Holland.  I basically rotated the string and went to work.

To photograph my tile for post, I went to my sheet music and pulled this one out. I got this music from a great aunt when she passed away. She had some great sheet music! and a pump organ that she played. This is  probably my favorite piece. I love to play this on the piano.
