Bridgen

What a fun tangle! I didn't know about this one before, so many thanks to Laura (the DivaCZT) for her Zentangle challenge this week: use Bridgen. This tangle is the brainchild of David, Carole Ohl's partner; they're both CZTs. You can see the tangle how-to and read how it developed on her blog.
Tangles: Bridgen, D'Uni, Rounding

This next one looks to me like paramecia under a microscope. It occurred to me that if the bars and circles became gradually larger and smaller it might look as if it was coming forward and going back. The idea needs more work. Some of the circles were so large I wanted to put something inside them, so I did.
Tangles: Black Pearlz, Bridgen, Crossview, Pearlz, Tipple

As I was drawing Bridgen it kept reminding me of the tangle Lacing so I used Lacing on the border and Bridgen elsewhere. It's interesting, but too much overall sameness to my eye, even with shading.
Tangles: Bridgen and Lacing

 Bridgen is about following your string with the tangle and after that... go where the tangle takes you. Sometimes I didn't really like where it went so I decided to try doing this with no string, just start drawing Bridgen on a blank tile. My result is a Bridgen ball of yarnl
Tangles: Bridgen and Tortuca
