On the fourth day of 3Zs . . .




On the fourth day of 3Zs
Bijou tangled me
Some marasu encircling . . .


Winsome bits of shattuck,
Fetching diva dancing,
And a tile full of tripoli!


Alfie said he was concerned that he'd lose his place in this huge book. So he chose this necklace that Maria beaded to use as a bookmark. (We think he just used that as an excuse to show it off!)





Thank you all for continuing to play with these twelve days!

The hashtag for today's tile is: #4thdayof3zs

To see all the guidelines for these 12 days, go here.

Remember, we will give out a prize for one randomly chosen poster of each day's tiles on the app and also for one randomly chosen commenter on each day's blog post.

And here is the stepout for marasu:



See you tomorrow!

  2. Marasu gives me the shivers because it resembles the markings of a poisonous snake... all except for the colors.

  12. Marasu is another of my favorite tangles though I usually do on tan tiles. Will just have to restrain myself. So much fun to see how everyone's tiles turn out! PS: Alfie is smart to want to show it off and PPS: Agree with Carol, above, is there no end to your talent? So glad there isn't and you share it with us all.
