Joey's Challenge: Blocks

This is a fun challenge, using blocks as strings. Three on the bottom, two in the middle, one on top.

It is one of my favorite string techniques, and I have several ZIAs here and there using blocks as a sort of string. It always ends up looking VERY cool.

In this ZIA I used bijou tiles for my first level

1, 2, 3 (the 1 in  the middle, on the diagonal)

The second level, I used ATC's

one ATC upright, layered over the other one, perpendicular

And for the "top" layer...I used a 3.5x3.5 tile...which actually ended up "under" everything else in the finished piece

This was how I placed my blocks, then traced them in pencil. I decided what to go over in pen after I had everything mapped out in pencil, and then I just filled the various spaces with tangles.

And this is what I ended up with. Such a fun way to tangle.

i used bead lines, fescu, verdigoh, mumsy, rixty, cadent, printemps, bublz, starsket, hollibaugh, scruffle, crescent moon, some tipple, and in the center there is a tangle based on a succulent called haworthia viscosa.
