Happy Tangled Tuesday! This week, in addition to my usual learning of new tangles and completing of challenges, I also started and finished tangling a new and slightly larger project. I’m excited to share it with you, so let’s get on with it!
New Tangles
Since my previous Tangled Tuesday post I have learned the following new-to-me tangles.
From TanglePatterns.com:
From perfectly4med (Neil Burley):
From Enthusiastic Artist (Margaret Bremner, CZT):
From Open Seed Arts (Carole Ohl, CZT):
Finished Project
I spent a HUGE chunk of time this weekend working on an extremely detailed 6″ x 6″ ZIA. Something a little different about this one is that I didn’t do any pencil shading, rather used pen stipples where I wanted to give the drawing some dimension.
ZIA 79
I’m really, really pleased with the way this one turned out. It’s been awhile since I created any new products for my online shops, but I think this design might just make the cut! Stay tuned…
Challenges
Since my previous Tangled Tuesday post I have completed the following tangle challenges.
Zentangle 126 for Diane & Carolien’s Weekly Challenge #42: Tangle with I-J-G,
using ING, Jax, and Groovy
Zentangle 127 for Weekly Challenge #252 –
“String Theory: Tangle within a tangle… it’s like inception… but with tangles” (Tipple string)
ZIA 78 for joey’s weekly tangle challenge #97 – Musical theme (music note)
Now on to a new week of tangling!

What a lovely delicate note, and that ZIA is amazing. I see some Pais in there too. Another busy week for you.

Thank you! Pais is a new favourite for me, I think. 🙂

Stunning! Every one of them! I love how the wavy line adds the element of movement or sound to it. So how many hours did the first piece take?

Thank you so much! Wow, I lost track of time, but I think it took the better part of Monday afternoon and evening. Made it through many hours of my audiobook while tangling!

Ah, Tipple. Why didn’t I think of that? That worked well for the Diva’s challenge. Your 6″x6″ ZIA is quite amazing.

Love your work, your 6×6 is so amazing. Your stippling and heavy contrast give it such depth that you don’t need any shading. Great job on all.
