Just for the Fun of it

Sometimes it's fun to do a Bronx Cheer even when there's nothing to hide. (. . . or is there?!)

If that sentence makes no sense to you, check out our instructions for Bronx Cheer in this newsletter.

This allows you to use it when you want ... and not use it when the opportunity to do something fun comes up. Like blending tangles, one to another, or morphing them, Escher-like. And it creates a more feathered boundary, a more magical look. If you create your string in pen, this opportunity disappears, and your Zentangle has a more "coloring book" look. Which is fine, if that was your intention. best, maria; August 19, 2010 at 9:52 AM

Big hug,

Carole Ohl said...: Good point about the pencil lines. I like that word, "opportunity"! That is so true, too. The pencil lines allow for more of the "what ifs" to find their way into (or out of) a tangle!; August 19, 2010 at 1:44 PM
Tricia, CZT said...: I love this concept! Many tanglers may already be using this morphing technique, but I had never thought of it in quite the same way as Maria described, above. I think this will help lots of our students to feel less 'rigid' about staying inside the (string) lines if, as they draw their tangle, their strokes are reaching out to areas "beyond the border". Thanks, Maria.; August 19, 2010 at 2:58 PM
