Welcome! In spite of a schedule that turned out to be far busier than I had originally anticipated, I still managed to squeeze in a TON of tangling this past week – so today’s Tangled Tuesday post is full to bursting with all sorts of fun stuff. Hope you enjoy!
Tangling Goodies
Pssst… just in case you missed it, I invite you to “Like” my brand new Ten Thousand Tangles Facebook Page so that you can stay up-to-date with what’s going on my tangled world.
(P.S. – Thanks so much to those of you who have already done so!)
New Tangles
Oops… I just realized that I didn’t actually learn any new tangles this week. Guess I was far too busy practicing the ones I already know, as you’ll see when you read on!
Tangling in Progress
With Easter on its way, I decided to do another holiday-themed ZIA. I can’t give you much just yet, but here’s a little taste of what’s to come.
WIP
It’ll have a lot more depth once I’ve done the shading, but I like to save that step until all the penwork is complete so that the pencil marks don’t smudge.
Finished Projects
I decided on a whim to do a tangled piece for one of last week’s Photo A Day Challenge pics. The prompt for the day was “hand-drawn” – and as you can see, I took it quite literally!
ZIA 33
Then I moved on to finish my 8″ x 10″ WIP, and am very pleased with the end result (as well as the fact that it’s DONE – I’m more than ready to move on to something new!).
ZIA 34
For The Diva’s Challenge this week, we were to use a spiral as our string. Not a problem for me, as I love spirals! Here’s my finished tile:
Zentangle 89, for The Diva’s Weekly Challenge #210
I kept this one fairly simple and only used three patterns in the spiral: Marasu, Pearlz, and Beedz.
And I think that’s about it… for now.
What a week it’s been!

Brilliant work! Loved your hand and the 8×10 on this page. May I ask what you use to fill in all the black areas.

Thank you so much, Mary! I use Pigma Micron pens for everything – I mostly stick with the 01 size, but sometimes use 05 or 08 to fill in the larger areas. Glad you stopped by!

I always recommend the book “One Zentangle a Day” by Beckah Krahula. It’s a terrific way to learn to tangle! But of course you don’t actually need to spend any money to see if you enjoy it – you can always visit zentangle.com or tanglepatterns.com for ideas on getting started.

Thank you so much! I didn’t keep track, but I know it was MANY hours because I managed to get through a very long audiobook while I was tangling!

I feel like I could pick up your spiral and it would unwind into beautiful strands of beads. Very nice.
