C and S minor

Enyshou
I do think of tangling as a way of seeing music. Most of the patterns can be so very rhythmic. So to me it was a little funny that The guest Diva challenge #231 this week included a reference to music (C minor). The challenge is to use an old favorite undulating C or S curve tangle and work in a series. To me, that says Enyshou. Not really a question about which tangle to use! And yes, Enyshou does take on a life of its own from my pen and I think you can probably see those flats in the key signature!

For the first "tile" I put down three gently curved esses In pencil as my string and then in pen, Cs and Ss and then my pen just took over.
I really liked Sharla's Isochor example, so I thought I'd try that filled with Enyshou for my second tile.

And because I forgot to show you these ATCs, and because you can see C and S there too, maybe just not in a minor key, here are a couple of examples that have already been given away.
Phicops, Maryhill, Msst, Tipple, Zander, Flux, Rain, Printemps and Sparkle
Thanks for your comments, have a wonderful day!
