A FaceBook group that I follow - Tangle All Around - facilitated an event during the month of September called "Fall Into Fall". They provided a list and a pdf of the daily tangles. This was much like some of the other tangle events that I've participated in and once again I decided to take part in this one. I used another keyring tag booklet for these that was orange and measured about 3" long. On the front of the tag I indicated the name of the tangle and it's creator along with a sample of the completed tangle. On the back I drew six boxes and used two colors to show the step-outs of the tangles. In the past I've just done the tangle on the front of some smaller tags, or in the case of the previous years' Inktober challenges, just the finished tangle which is good, but having the step-outs on the tag itself helps to not have to search out the steps again, and believe me, sometimes you really need the steps. There is an example of the back at the end of this.

Fall Into Fall 2024 - Tangles
Here is the complete keyring - there are about 20 extra tags that I can use to add to this.
And here is a sample of the back. You can see that I have used a dark pink marker to indicate what is added in each consecutive step. The arrows between the boxes show the progression of the steps. This is what the official Zentagle creators have used in the past. This is pretty small - having to fit 6 boxes on a 3" surface is challenging.
Inktober will be starting on October 1st and I'm going to take part in that also but I haven't figured out what substrate to use yet. If you recall, last year I used a sheet of black paper and put the tangles in a segmented pumpkin. I'm kind of leaning towards doing a large leaf on kraft colored paper if I can find something large enough. Maybe later this weekend I will see if brown kraft wrapping paper would be suitable. If not, there's always the thought of another pumpkin. We shall see.

These look so fun - and good idea to put the how-to on the back because, in my very limited experience with tangles, you need them sometimes in order to remember how to recreate it. You have a good reference for future creations.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful. I particularly like the ones with added white shading. I can imagine the need for the steps - reverse engineering some of those designs would not be easy.
ReplyDeleteThe shading of some of these is incredible.
ReplyDeleteLove the orange.
GeliJoy is a fav.
Great idea to put the directions on the back.
