Breaking free

The Diva's 86th (!!!) weekly challenge is to break out of the border normally used to begin a Zentangle tile. I have some big things on this week but I couldn't resist an invitation to go outside the lines!
Tangles: Beadlines, Black Pearlz, Copada, Shing, Tipple, Zedbra

It was also a good excuse to do some other things too:
  1. Use Copada, which I missed last week. Wow! There were some terrific variations, ideas and artwork submitted!
  2. Try one of the strings on tanglepatterns.com. This is string #9. There are some good ideas there. I'd like to try most of them sooner or later.
  3. Ignore the big projects, briefly.
  4. Tangle some more. Woohoo!

    Nice effect you did with Copada; it is a structured pattern, yet here it could not be contained! It effervesced and broke through the borders. :-)
