By Linda Farmer, CZT  This week’s String is shared by tangler Sandra Hart for your creative enjoyment.
Bear in mind that Zentangle® strings are guidelines. You can use a string exactly as it is or adapt it to suit as your Zentangle grows. Start with the string as it’s shown then, as you go, combine sections if your tangles want to, or divide a section into smaller ones. Go with the flow and enjoy.

By Linda Farmer, CZT  Yippee!!!!
In many countries in the Northern Hemisphere this weekend it’s time to Spring Forward. Although Daylight Saving Time (<< thought-provoking article alert) means one less hour in the weekend, we’ll happily take it because it means Spring is nigh and there will be more daylight hours to enjoy.
What better way to take advantage than tangling. So get out your pens and have a beautiful weekend everyone. And remember to put your clocks forward!
The Tangle Refresher series, aka Buried Treasure, highlights hidden tangle gems from the past. It can remind you of patterns you might not have used for a while or introduce you to patterns you haven’t come across yet.
Here are five more tangle pattern gems and a Tangle Refresher from a year (or two) ago for your tangling pleasure. Remember to check out the “More Good Stuff” links below too. Zenful tangling!
BTW as you visit these tangles please Tweet or “like” them on Facebook so they get shared with a wider audience. Sharing links are on the left side of each pattern’s page. Thanks!
