String Thing #6

Adele is the owner of Tickled To Tangle blog and also a Certified Zentangle Teacher.  She has been so kind in answering numerous questions I have had, just so helpful and willing.  She has a weekly challenge on her blog called "It's A String Thing" and today I am submitting this tile for the latest challenge.


Because the string was created by Mirjam Baart, we were to use tangle patterns whose names begin with Ba.  Considering that I only knew one pattern that fit the bill, namely Bales, I had some quick learning to do and these are the additional patterns I went with:

- Barberpole
- Basketweave
- Batons


My favourite on this tile is Batons, I just love those little sticks that you can randomly position at an angle.  Adding that little bit of black in the corners I think makes it extra special.  Bales was a bit of a challenge as I decided to draw it at an angle and also growing larger, so I think some of the "bales" got warped in the end.

Adele, thank you for all your encouragement and advice.
