Billy Preston in my head!

Will it go 'round in circles...

Since Laura posted this spiralicious challenge, I have had that tune worm tunneling through my brain. I really LIKE the challenge; I just hope the next one has a song I like more!

p.s. This image will also be in the 175th Anniversary publication for Laurel Hill(see yesterday's post) because the tangle pattern making the spiral is called "Trentwith," and it's based on an image from a grave marker there.

Perhaps in the fall, I'll organize a "tangle hunt" through the cemetery. Anyone game?

Who IS this guy, and why is he staring?

He's John Trentwith, a prominent "resident" at Philadelphia's Laurel Hill Cemetery, where I am a volunteer tour guide and where I recently held a Zentangle class.

You might still be confused.

Why is he staring at you from this blog post?

Because on his monument, high in the air, are some carvings. They form a funereal swag of rosettes and decorate the base of his marker quite nicely.

See?

And, those rosebuds, and John himself, were the inspiration behind the tangle pattern I developed called (what else?) Trentwith.

You can find it on the Tangle Patterns page!
