I'm feeling in the mood to post tangle patterns today. It's spring, so I'm feeling good! I've posted 4 patterns, so I'm going to leave out sample art, and issue a challenge. Use any of these patterns, post the work somewhere and let me know. I'll post your work so everyone can see how many ways they can be used.
Lately, I've been getting inspiration from Annet's Fatquater blog and a tangle pattern created by my friend Kristy (aka Rose Twofeather).
Annet posts these lovely samplers of her stitches. They are so nice and clear, I can see all sorts of possibilities for tangle patterns. Here are two:

ReplyDeleteYour zentangle site is such a favorite for me. I always love your tangles and some are so much easier to do than others but all inspires zen creativity nevertheless.

I see how much this comes so easily to you and would appreciate your help.
ReplyDeleteMarie, thank you for your kind comments!
ReplyDeleteI can untangle the swirl pattern, and Sandy has graciously agreed to let me explain.
I think it would be easier with pictures, so let me come up with some drawings, and I'll post them in the next day or so.
