Weekly Challenge #195: "Turning Old into New"

Welcome fellow tanglers, seasoned and newbies! This week's Diva Challenge is hosted by Sandy Hunter, CZT:  Quite simply - if the pattern is grid-based make it freeform and visa-versa, while trying to keep the basic elements.

I quite enjoy this idea as I recently used Nancy Newlin's, CZT pattern JaJazz.  Nancy offered variations that included border, straight line and "released from the grid".   Link for the original pattern - Tangle Patterns - JaJazz  .  Helen Williams also offered a lovely freeform variation of Well (official Zentangle® pattern):  her link: a little lime - look for Well!

I decided to use Yew-Dee by Peg Farmer, CZT - link for the original pattern Tangle Patterns Yew-Dee


I believe I kept the basic elements and kept it simple at this time.  I thoroughly enjoyed this week's challenge and this concept.  I will continue to keep working at this! Thank you, Sandy.  Here is this week's entry (first draft):
