Challenge 84 - blind string

I really like blind strings. They give such oddball shapes to work in. I had a sheaf of new tangles that I wanted to try and this seemed a good opportunity to do that. I started with Drobbles by Cindy Angiel. Once that was on the paper it seemed to call for more small circle patterns so I abandoned my plan and went with circles.
Tangles: Beadlines, Croon, Cruffle, Drobbles, Keenees,
Moon Rocks, Printemps, Tipple

Back to the new tangles I wanted to try. My second blind string tile includes Stephanie Skelton's Deelish , Carla du Preez's Pop-cloud and Maria Copetas' Shingle.
Tangles: Deelish, Fleuri, Krli-Qs, Pop-cloud, Shing, Shingle

  3. They both are great. I like the first one better, but I am always drawn to the circle patterns. I enjoyed this challenge. I like to create random strings. It seems to be quite a challenge for my students. They are hesitant about strings. I just scribble something on the tile and go with it. :)

    1. Me too. I have no trouble with strings, so I don't quite know how to advise people who do!

  8. These are super examples, the top one seems like the night sky with lots of stars. I do like the bottom one if I had to choose though.
