Doodley Childs Play

Boxtel Tangle Pattern is Here!

This little tangle is just a hoot to draw as a “tail” along a string.  Of course you could use it as a filler if you really wanted to, but I think it’s whimsical and fun to just have hanging around the edges of my designs. Boxtel is like most of the...
