Random String, random tangles. At first, I wasn’t sure how these tangles would work out together. But looking at the string, and assigning them places I could begin to see how this might look. I like having those strong, dark areas in the middle. I like the “swoop” of that area to the right. The lighter tangles on each side help balance things out, and the Pop-Cloud doesn’t overwhelm the tile.
This tile uses a basic technique referred to as a Zenbutton. CZT Marguerite Samama is credited as the inventor of this technique. She was experimenting with methods for using Fragments in different ways when she discovered it. You can watch an instructional video, created by Melinda Barlow, CZT, here , to see the basic technique. I’ve been thinking about trying it for a few days. Yesterday, I sat down and went for it. For my first attempt, I’m very happy with the results. I will definitely add this to my tangle enhancing techniques!
Beauty. Even the smallest detail was graced with beauty. She was amazed at the lovely, ripe berries tucked, so carefully, within the perfect folds of the napkin at breakfast.

Imagination. Part of this reminds me of a bird in flight. It sticks in my mind, even though it‘s only a hint. But every time I see it, I can‘t unthink the bird!
