Playing with string, part two

Here, I went with string #29, from the websites tangle patterns and enjoyed playing with it. I love how each tile looks so different from all the others, yet you can see the shape of the string in each one.


the string:





Four samples:


 I love Nzeppel anywhere, and the ribbons are actually pretty good, but the art went somewhere I wasn't expecting and I'm pretty "meh" about it.
not my favorite.


Country Drive

I like this one quite a bit. I call it country drive. You can see my own "concert" pattern taking up the whole lower right corner hahaha. Also, diva dance rock n roll, flord two ways, floatfest, msst, curly clouds (not an "official zentangle" pattern) and i forget the name of the pattern on the left edge. Related to Mr E.
Bead strings!









I ended up liking this one quite a bit. My favorite section is the bead strings in the upper left. I also used Diva dance, printemp, my own starsket, bales two ways, and there's a verdigoh in there, hidden by all the background details. I want to do this one again, but give verdigoh more of a center stage role.










This is my favorite one from string #29. I call it Balloon Ride, and hopefully it's easy to see why! Aquafleur, Tropicana, webz, gothic, seedings, and some ribbony stuff under the aquafleur. Bubbles here and there.

In this one, I found that arc pattern repeating itself over and over again. The main arc in the string, IMO, is on the right edge. It's my favorite element in the string. This time, it took over and I found myself choosing patterns that repeated that arc shape.
