"It's a String Thing" #153

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

One of my earliest loves in this art method, is a classic tangle from Zentangle® co-founder, Maria Thomas - Crescent Moon.

Much has been written about it in books, many examples of the wide world of possibilities flood the internet (including this past post of mine - click here to view), and most students use this tangle in their first completed tile.

Let's get back to our roots and devote this challenge to getting reacquainted with this simple, yet magical pattern.

We will use this string ~

IAST #153 M for Crescent Moon by Adele Bruno, CZT


I include this string, as with all strings, as a suggestion.  If you prefer to begin with another idea for your Crescent Moon monotangle, please do.


Simply pencil the string line onto your tile and tangle away! Keep in mind that string lines are suggestions and let the patterns lead the way.

Here are the (Not so) Official Guidelines: 
* Challenges are posted on Tuesdays.
*Use the string posted for the week and patterns that begin or contain the letter(s) indicated
* Submit a photo of your tile saved as jpg or scan your tile (300 dpi or higher) and save as a jpg
*Email your jpg file as an attachment to - brunoadelem@gmail.com
*Entries are to be submitted by Saturday evenings.
*Photos and 'Best of Show' are posted on Mondays. 


Send in your photos - you will encourage and inspire fellow Zentangle® enthusiasts all over the world.  WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR NAME, PLEASE INCLUDE WHERE YOU LIVE.  
FOR EXAMPLE:   ADELE BRUNO (FLORIDA)

PLEASE NOTE: It is not necessary for you to have a blog or website to participate. 
In order to eligible for the drawing, you must send in your completed tile.

If you do have a blog or website, I will add a link upon request. 
Please include the site specific URL. 

I look forward to your emails.
HAVE FUN!
