Today is a rather exciting day in my corner of the tangling world, as not only is it Tangled Tuesday, but also exactly two months from the day that I’ll be sitting in my first CZT (Certified Zentangle Teacher) seminar in Providence, Rhode Island. It’s getting so close!
New Tangles
Since my previous Tangled Tuesday post I have learned the following new-to-me tangles.
From TanglePatterns.com:
- Heartstrings
- Starawn
- Voga
- Fran
- Love Line
- Pomegranate
- Sundoo
- Heartvine
- KRLI-Q
- Spaanders
- Zanella
- Heartrope
- LTD
- Gutz
- Hearty
- Aloha
- Angel Line
- MA-XIII
- Ticking
- Snookums
Work in Progress
I took a bit of a break from work on my colouring book-to-be, so my total of complete pages remains at nine. Back to it this week, I hope!
One of my goals is to incorporate every tangle pattern I learn into at least one finished piece. With that in mind, I started a 6″ x 6″ ZIA as a “sampler” featuring a number of learned but as yet unused patterns. I’m mostly done with it, but not quite – I should be able to share a picture of the finished piece in next week’s post.
Finished Projects
While on my colouring book-to-be break I completed a quick little 6″ x 6″ gold on black ZIA featuring one of the fun new tangles I recently learned (Starawn).
ZIA 86
Challenges
Since my previous Tangled Tuesday post I have completed the following tangle challenges.
Zentangle 147 for Diane & Carolien’s Weekly Challenge #53: Tangle with J-X-T,
using Jonqual, XYP, and Tamisolo
Zentangle 148 for joey’s weekly tangle challenge #110 – Roman Numerals (X)
Zentangle 149 for Weekly Challenge #265: “Stripes”
Now on to a new week of tangling!

Your ZIA nr. 86 is very nice, it is a good idea to incorporate every tangle you already know in a finished work.!
I like your stripestile, the tangles you have chosen to fill the stripes are all special and beautiful.

Great tiles! I loved the one using starawn especially.
I also love the way you come here and share with us what you have learned during the past week. Inspires me to want to learn more, as well.

Thank you – I’m so glad to be an inspiration! 🙂

Awesome pieces! I, too, like the heavy lines separating the tangles in stripes. It will be fun to see a piece that includes so many tangles. Maybe like a patchwork quilt!

ZIA86 nicely done! A little different from your usual. I can see it as a giant poster on the ceiling with a black light shining on it…
