Here are another couple of goes with using dice to select four official tangles, and using random strings from the Tangle Patterns website.
In this set I think I got quite a good selection - a mixture of 'big' tangles, ribbon tangles and background fills. I've never been fond of Ambler, but I used it here to follow the string line. I started with three curved sections, then drew Rumpus 'underneath' those. Then I alternated the second (top) two Ambler sections with a bit more of Rumpus so it appears to weave in and out. Weighting the Ambler pattern made it a bit more interesting. Then I added Indyrella, and finally Florz as a background. Shading gave the patterns more depth.
The next set of four random tangles were a bit more tricky. I was happy with Noom as a ribbon, and Drawings as a big shape underneath, but Waybop made it a bit too fussy in my opinion (and I don't think the aura-ing worked very well) and again, Vitruvius (nested squares and circles) was too fussy as a background. Not a disaster, but not my favourite tile, and a good exercise in persisting and sticking to the 'rules of the game'!

ONE Focus: Sea wave
This week's 'purely zentangle' focus is Sea Wave, by Ginny Lu. I couldn't resist pairing it with Indyrellas, which look like little fish, and Diva Dance and Msst to finish. It's probably a bit more ZIA than pure Zentangle, but never mind!
