I took a couple of vacation days this week with no plans to go anywhere, giving me plenty of time to spend doing fun things around here. One of those things was (of course!) tangling, so as a result I have several new pieces to share with you in today’s Tangled Tuesday post. Hope you enjoy!
New Tangles
Since my previous Tangled Tuesday post I have learned the following new-to-me tangles.
From TanglePatterns.com:
- Fluxogee
- Lotus Pods
- Jilli
- Pop’t
- Flwr Box
- Wist
- Bandola
- Twile
- Curly•Q
- Lotsadots
- Pavonia
- Tesali
- Garlic Cloves
- Ginili
From Enthusiastic Artist (Margaret Bremner, CZT):
Work in Progress
I finished another design for my colouring book-to-be, which means I now have a total of eleven pages complete.
Finished Projects
I really enjoyed working on the shading for my latest 6″ x 6″ ZIA.
I’m considering the possibility of featuring this ZIA on some of the products in my shops, as I suspect the repeating design might work well as a tiled pattern. What do you think?
Challenges
Since my previous Tangled Tuesday post I have completed the following tangle challenges.

Zentangle 154 for Diane & Carolien’s Weekly Challenge #56: Tangle with V-E-Y,
using Voga, Echo, and Ynix

Zentangle 155 for joey’s weekly tangle challenge #112 – Roman Numerals (XII)

Zentangle 157 for joey’s weekly tangle challenge #113 – Roman Numerals (XIII)

Zentangle 156 for Weekly Challenge #267: “DuoTangle – Poke Root vs. Drupe”

Zentangle 158 for Weekly Challenge #268: “A bit-o-black”
Now on to a new week of tangling!

All of these pieces are great. I’m especially impressed with your Joey piece. That was an especially tricky set of parameters to work with and your composition is really lovely. I love your ten thousand tangles.

I love all the pieces you have made. And I wish I could say I was talented like that but unfortunally I am not but that is OK as I can still enjoy the items like these you make.

It looks like you made very productive use of your days off, both in quality and quantity. I just checked out your web shops. I think it might be time for me to board that particular bus. Cheers.
