The theme of BLACK & WHITE this week gave me the opportunity to use my new tangle TIE IT UP on a Zentangle tile. I used the string 094 from Tanglepatterns.com and added three other tangles - Twile, Hibred, and Faux Weave giving those ties some suit textures to keep company with.
I find that Tanglepatterns.com is a good resource for tangles. There is an alphabetic listing of tangles there to choose from. The step-outs for the tangles are easily found and make for good practice. There are also strings featured (strings are the line that is drawn on the tile to give you the spaces to add the tangles to). I find tangling very relaxing...... when I'm not in a hurry.
I'm going to find out what else is BLACK & WHITE about this picnic. You can join me by clicking here. And should you wish to join in next week, the theme is WATCH OUT!
Lovely.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun and meditative thing to create.
It is Tammie. Very mindful doodling.

There is a peace in the repetitiveness. When you're concentrating on it, your mind is free of everything else.
DeleteLooks like a fun project. Turned out so well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Latane. I do find tangling fun and relaxing.
DeleteBeautiful black and white tangle Lorraine!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine. I think I need to do more of these.
DeleteLooks like those fun colorbooks for adults. So much details. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Wanda. It does have a lot of detail like those coloring books.
DeleteYour Zentangle art looks fabulous, Lorraine! I enjoy doing Zentangles too...so meditative. I tend to just let my pen/brain decide what is coming next...free-form, I guess you could say.
ReplyDeleteThanks Serena. Most times, I try to go from memory and see what I wind up with. You should see my post-it notes from work when I take phone messages.
Deletethis is wonderful. I like all the patterns mix together like that.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
Thank you lissa. I tried to balance them out.
DeleteThat's just so wonderful - I've not heard of Tanglepatterns but have a feeling this must be a really great craft.
ReplyDeleteIt's very relaxing or meditative. I've enjoyed learning about it and teaching it too to whomever wants to learn.
DeleteNever heard or read about that tangle patterns website until now. How clever! Thank you. As it is, the weave is my fave patterns her but love the other ones shown too. Perfect for black and white. Great job, Lorraine. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. I like to give credit to the resources I use when I can. I think it's good blogging etiquette and it helps to spread the word, so to speak, about different techniques and such.
DeleteGreat patterns, and I really like the subtle shading you added, it gives it so much depth.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula.
DeleteIt always looks so simple, but it is not. This is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cornelia. That's why I like Tanglepatterns - because they break it down for you to make it easier to do.
DeleteLorraine, you are the first "tangler" I've ever met! I actually never heard of the art before, I looked it up and I think it's wonderful. I love what you've done and thanks for introducing me to something new! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome. I hope you give it a try. It is a lot of fun.
DeleteLorraine, this is wonderful! I love it. Zentangles can be challenging but you've done a great job. I LOVE this! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Alexandra. But they're a fun challenge for me. ;)
DeleteLoving all the different patterns!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I know it's not really supposed to look like anything, but I can't help but think the woven parts look like pie crust!
