Not to worry. I wasn't trying to Correct or Fix. This is yet another idea I had while falling asleep one night. What if I drew a pencil string, then erased a swash through it all, then tangled like usual but let the tangles "drip" through the erased strings??? I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget.
For my first try I went to some tried and true, safe and simple, comfortable tangles.

| Tangles: Crescent Moon, Florz, Hollibaugh, Knightsbridge, Tipple |
Then I tried it using some current favorite tangles.

| Tangle: Camelia, Dansk, Paizel, Tipple, Tripoli |
I love this idea, Margaret! I have consciously done a similar technique, particularly with Knightsbridge, leaving pieces of the pattern extending but I love that this technique takes it to a more spontaneous and unconscious level. I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteVery cool idea!!! I'll have to try it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. This might help those who have a hard time 'crossing' a string line! Thanks, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting idea, I may have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Will keep it in mind to give it a go one day
ReplyDeleteThanks for that margaret, always good to try something new!
ReplyDeleteHeading off to try this.
ReplyDeleteGosh I thought for a minute you were going to have a "confession" of an eraser user! Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteYou think of the coolest thing.
I wish you'd post what the string looks like before and after the erasure and before you tangle it.
Fabulous! I love the thought of a tangle dripping or flowing through a leak in the dike made by the string. I can think of a few that might 'ooze' instead! I also laughed at the 'scandalous nature' of the assumed confession of the title. I will admit to using one frequently... although I am not a trained CZT.
ReplyDeletelooks like fun, i'll have to give it a go!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good idea. Good on you Margaret for sharing.
