It's Tuesday, your good news day! It is also the Fourth of July and in the United States we are celebrating our Independence Day with fireworks displays. There is something very mesmerizing about watching fireworks explode in the night sky in all of their brilliance. To join in the celebration, let's create some fireworks of our own - on paper, that is! We begin with this string~ IAST #202 by Adele Bruno, CZT The tangles we will use include ~ Pop-Cloud by Carla du Preez Click here to view my previous post that includes "Tips for Tangling Pop-Cloud" This tangle came to mind in part because of the summer thunderstorms in our area, and because once mastered, this pattern is really fun to draw. Layering and shading add wonderful dimension to it. Xplode by Margaret McKerihan The name alone fits our challenge this week and the tangle is a treat. CO2 by Antonine Megger These little explosions of line will add to the fun. Simply pencil the string line onto your tile and tangle away!
