Thursday String Idea #13

 Welcome to Thursday String Idea #13.

Sorry I missed the past two weeks,

I was in Maine with no internet.

This week's string is a kind of a 

loopedy-loop kind of string.

To print the string out at 3.5", click here.

As for myself, I am going to start moving away from the 3.5" tangling tile. As I get older I find that little tile is too small. I need a larger work area.  In my tangling string #13, I opted for some white space in my work.  I like the contrast and the way the string of  TootsieMoon holds the gnarly tangle in place.
Want to try string #13 for yourself? Just go here and print out the string. To use this same string on a larger work area like I did,  just extend the ends of the lines. My tile is 4" x 6". Have fun!

Tangling With Mickey

One of our recent stack and tangle prompts was to use found papers.  To find a paper that you could tangle on and turn into a piece of art. 
It just so happens I checked into a Disney World resort that day and had a packet of information available to me.  I found this sheet of paper,  a bit water-rimmed and stained from someone before me's drink. Shame on you, housekeeping, for leaving me someone else's coaster as part of my introduction to Disney World. Anyway, I liked this sheet of stained paper because of the photo that was on it - Mickey and some awesome cast members. The rest of the page had information about staff and safety tips. 
I divided my drawing area into segments,  then started filling them in with tangles. I did a little shading - which didn't work well on this slick paper -  and called it done.
Tangling with Mickey. Apropos title, I think. 

Circle Stacking

Circle stacking is different than stacking circles. Hahahaha! And I have done those before. This is an idea developed by Italian tangler Simona Arian Cordara. You start with a circle, then lay in your string. Next add tangles. Shade, admire, reflect. 
I made this circle stack on a page in one of my smash books. From K & Co. That bright, pretty scrapbook paper is the perfect background for some tangling. Circle stacking. It's what's new!
Why don't you give it a try and  see what you can do?

Shnek and Hamail

 It is midway point of the week, so how is your week going?

I have a lot of tangle projects going on, staying consistently busy 

but not necessarily making a lot of progress.

 Let's see. I'm working on book submissions,

ATCs for a swap in one of our Facebook groups . . .

 . . . hoping to do some painting and tangling on a Mickey vinylmation,

and trying to adjust to this thyroid Hashimoto thing.

And I have a ton of Newfoundland pictures to edit,

but I just can't seem to wrap my head around them right now.

Hope your week is going better than mine.
