Recently, out of necessity, I happened upon a lovely variation of this tangle. I had made the rolling zigzag too wide and the filler loop didn't fill, so I added another. You can see it in both the tiles I did for Zentangle's Zenth (10th!) anniversary here. I really liked the effect and wanted to explore it more. Black Pearlz seemed to work nicely in some of the larger areas.

The string on both these tiles is something called a "blind string" or "shut-eye string" - simply do the string with your eyes closed! It often yields some nice wobbly lines and really interesting shapes. Try it sometime!
This looks like fun, Margaret! I'll have to try it out tonight :) thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOh Margaret!!! Brilliant! Prestwood is one of my top favorite tangles, it's one of my go to tangles for sure. Big hug for sharing this great variation. Patty M.
ReplyDeleteThanks Patty. Have fun with it!
DeleteI really love the look of this one. That second tile fascinates me - just two simple tangles but such an interesting and pleasing composition.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting sometimes how the simplest thing can have such variety and interest.
