Hi, This will be a very long post. I have been off Zentangle for a time because of personal reasons, but are trying to catch up on all the Joey challenges. Thanks to all that participated in challenge 177 where I was the guest blogger.

About challenge 178 - I am wondering what was the intention of the person who started this - where each tile supposed to be an entity on its own or was was the tangles supposed to "overflow" from one tile to the next? I have seen both methods. (to try to explain more - my tile 1 is sort of on its own where for the other tiles the tangle started on one tile but ended on the adjacent tiles according to the string.)

I'm the Diva #237
Guest blogger: Charlotte Carpentier
Challenge: Make a string with a template and dye

I'm retired, but was a computer programmer for 32 years which means that I started before there were PC's and applications like Word, Excel, Photoshop, etc. and we had to draw our flow charts by hand and could use a stencil made by IBM to draw the various shapes. I've decided to use this stencil. I've used acrylic paint thinned with water in a spray bottle. The colour is raw umber and you can hardly see it - should have used something darker :)

Tangles used:
Phrox and Fassett - Lynn Mead
Paradox, Printemps, Florz - Zentangle
Maryhill - Betsy Wilson

Part of stencil used:
