By Linda Farmer, CZT  This week’s String is shared by Hungarian tangler Lily Moon for your creative enjoyment. Recently Lily shared her Amphora tangle with us and earlier, String 107.
Bear in mind that Zentangle® strings are guidelines, and there is no right side up. Strings are always drawn freehand in pencil so they magically disappear into your completed Zentangle.
