Tangle Patterns string 003

The Tangle Patterns website has a good - and growing - resource of string ideas. Take a look if that's something you find challenging, or even if you just want a new idea. This week's challenge from Diva Laura is to use string number 3. I drew the string on three tiles and went at it.

It looked like an excellent string for my new tangle Yoga. It's almost a monotangle.
Tangles: Beadlines, Pearlz, Yoga

I've been attempting the use of white ink on black tiles, usually not very pleased with the results. This string reminded me of  a tangle I saw recently called Star Map, from Suzanne McNeill and I thought it would be more interesting in white on black. I think I'm improving!
Tangles: Daggerly, Gneiss, Hurakán, Munchin, Star Map
 
When I looked at the next stringed tile, it made me think of all the zigzag tangles that I like so much.
Tangles: Black Pearlz, Chartz, Hibred with Rounding,
Knase, Tipple, Triral, Zedbra, Zewm
You can see another tile I did using string #3 here.
