Octangling, Week Four

-


 















Octangling is almost over! We are working on the last week, then just two more days in next week's tangles. I disappointed myself because I stopped using the designated tangles after day ten, then I remembered Octangling is about drawing each day. It doesn't necessarily have to be the tangles I provided for my FB group as long as I was tangling or drawing something each day. And I have been doing that. I have been working on step outs for the new book and making art - for the new book. And I am doing that daily so it counts! It does for sure! Hahahaha! Now I feel better! Whew!

This piece of art is comprised of patterns that will be in that book. All except for printemps. But you are going to have to pick up a copy of the book when it publishes to find out more. Now, here are the seven tangles for this week. If you are interested, we are working through the month together in Tangle All Around, just click here to join us. 

October 23, Sinko from Simone Menzel, CZT.  Inspiration came from a wallpaper pattern, the shape reminded Simone of a ginko leaf so she named the pattern Sinko.






















October 24, Crux from Henrike Bratz. The tangle came about while Henrike was practicing another tangle called Crusade and its variations. 


















October 25, Fairytale from Irina Sedova. A beautiful organic tangle that I could not find any information about. Sorry. 

















October 26, Uncorked from Adele Bruno, CZT. This tangle is drawn with one continuous line. The design inspiration came from a fabric design. The name uncorked came about from uncorking a bottle of wine with Adele’s daughter. 

















October 27, Frost Petal from group member Kasturi Das. Another fun organic pattern. 


















October 28, Cruffle from Sandy Hunter, CZT. Here are some words from Sandy’s blog when she introduced cruffle: I've been playing with a new pattern recently, and it falls right in line with my affinity for round things. Cruffle can be used with grids or dot guides if you really want them in neat rows... but personally, I'm down with chaos. I like mine all over the place like a roomful of toddlers on a rainy day. And in this post Sandy show us 150 new ways to draw cruffle. What a great post with a fun tangle! 





 

October 29, Row Row from Katherina Konigsbauer-Kolb, CZT, Germany.


















And here are the strings for the week. It is a page from Tangle Starts Strings. This book has 366 strings ready for you to tangle! Have fun this week and be ready to finish strong next time!

    Oh I do like that floral sampler - this will be great fun coloured with different colours for each type of flower, hah! A colouring page! You're doing much better than me - not a chance with Inktober or Octangling. I need more hours - I'm even falling asleep around 9pm in the evening!!!

Dream It and Do It!

  If you can dream it - you can do it! Wise words to remember and live by. Quick post here just to share this daily journal page I made a few days ago AND to give you some news about the new book. First though - this journal page.  Like always I am working in my Harmony hot pressed journal from Hahnemühle . I love it. Sometimes I do one day on a page like this one. Sometimes I split the page in half and use it for two days. The little Hedwig-Gryffindor-wannabe is a drawing by Chris Ryniak that I colored to look like a Harry Potter character - Hedwig, Harry's owl. The background is bits and pieces of scraps from a number of projects. Some of the tangled blocks are from Octangling this past year and one is from a page I made for the Tangle It! Coloring Book several years ago.  Tangle All Around: Our Art, Our Journey is already available at these Amazon locations online. Amazon.in  and amazon.nl carries it as well since I saved this screen shot.  Ta-da!!! Than...

Tangled Dragonflies All Around

What do steampunk and dragonflies have in common? Tangle All Around! Hahaha! My tangling Facebook group called Tangle All Around is providing the art today. In June and July we are working with patterns that go well with steampunk art. Don't like steampunk? That's alright, too. These patterns will work in your regular tangle routine as well.  I provided a dragonfly template to the group and asked them to tangle it using any of the steampunk patterns they wanted to and I welcomed them to use any other tangles they needed. This is the dragonfly I made using some of the patterns from week one. This is the template I gave the group. Some people printed it out and tangled, and some people free-handed the template and went from there. Let me show you the beautiful art my talented group made. You can click on any of the photos to see them larger.  Artist is Aga Forra.  Artist as Amy Heather.  Artist is Ana Maria Migone.  Artist is Anita Sinha.  Artist is Betsy Rit...

Octangling, 2020 Has Begun

  That post title is a way hopeful statement. Hahahahahaha! I haven't even started my first day tile yet and the day is over half way done. I have too many things I am trying to do all at once. But. Octangling for this year has begun in my Facebook group Tangle All Around . And I am already seeing some lovely pieces of art! You may be asking . . . what is Octangling. I am glad you asked. There is a young man who started an event years ago he dubbed Inktober. Every October he encourages people like you and me to draw something every day during the month. Nothing fancy, nothing we can't all do. And he gives a prompt for each day to give you an idea of what to draw. Our FB group has participated the past 3 years using a list of tangles I give them. This year I hesitate to use his name for the project because he is suing a lot of people and companies for selling pieces of art they made during his monthlong project. So. No more using that name, tanglers. From here on out we are call...
