Weekly Challenge #84: "String Theory v. XI: Blind-Sighted"

Close your eyes to draw your string. 
That was the prompt for this week's Diva challenge. 

This is my string...



...and this is my tile.


If I hadn't just sat here and watched me do it, I wouldn't have believed it was the same string in both scans. I know the original string is in there somewhere, but I've added so much fluff to it that I can't tell if it's even rotated in the same direction as the scan of the finished tangle. 

So if you're looking for a second challenge, feel free to hunt for the above string in this tangle. Pretend it's 'Where's Waldo', only in this case Waldo is very skinny, very tall, and very bendy. And gray. And shirtless.

  4. I don't think it matters that the string has disappeared - this is a really great tile with all its decorative swirls and patterns.
