The delicate tangle pattern YinLinx was created by soon-to-be CZT®, Mary Masi from Sarasota here in Florida.
I asked Mary to tell us a little about herself and she writes,
“I am an Online Instructional Designer and Nia Technique Instructor. I was introduced to Zentangle in October of 2010. I have developed a deep connection and plan to complete my CZT training in February 2011.“
Mary illustrates how to draw YinLinx below. YinLinx is great to use along strings or as a border. The nice thing about “string” (or ribbon) patterns for me is that I like having that pencil “baseline” to guide placement of the strokes.

Even though Yin Yang is technically not a karate symbol, it still reminds me of my friends in my jujitsu classes when I used to take karate. Thanks for the memories!
