TanglePatterns String 060

TanglePatterns.com STRINGSThis week’s String is shared by Canadian CZT® Margaret Bremner for your creative enjoyment. Margaret’s previously-shared strings are 020, 022, and 026. This one looks like big juicy number 8’s that almost intersect in the middle.

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.

Please help our community’s String resource grow by sending me yours to share. Remember to keep them simple, Zentangle strings are not elaborate or complicated. For your convenience, below there’s a link to a template to use if you’d like.

Lightly pencil the string on your tile and you’re good to go tangling. Enjoy!

Reminders:

  • Important: Strings are always drawn freehand in pencil so they magically disappear into your completed Zentangle.
  • Use any string over and over again with different tangles.
  • There are so many tangles available that your Zentangles will always be different even using the same string.
  • Or use it with only one tangle – a monotangle.
  • Usually each string will have many options.
  • The Border (if one is given) is also a suggestion – use it, change it, or ignore it. It’s your art.
  • And remember, in Zentangle there’s no right-side-up!

    This reminds me of second grade when we were ask to shut our eyes and draw a pattern with our crayon. Then open our eyes and color inside the lines or make patterns or anything we wanted to do inside of them! So I guess way back then I was making a tangle! 😀 lol
