More Gratitangles

-


Gratitangles. Being thankful every day for something or someone specific and combining that with our tangling. We are doing this together in my Facebook group Tangle All Around all during the month of November. 

The tile on left includes tangles: fife, black tie and rangoon. 

The tile on the right includes tangles: ixorus, cee-a-mosa and printemps. 



I am working in my journal I made using Bristol Illustrated paper from Hahnemühle, my go-to tangle paper. My tiles are cut from the same Bristol paper. The tangle here is onamato. The gemstone was made with prismacolor pencils. The sweet little dragon is a Pinterest find digital stamp which I colored with Copic markers. And I am actually caught up and not behind this month. Yet. Hahahahaha!



Want to join us for Gratitangles? You can check it out at Tangle All Around or by clicking here. I am taking the rest of the weekend off to make art for swaps, then jumping right into the book making on Monday. Time to build the thing and put it all together! 

You can purchase Bristol Illustrated paper here.

    That's a very fine gemstone & doesn't it work well with Onamato & your little dragon looks quite surprised to have a butterfly land on his nose - love the way he's just folded his paws as if to say 'oh well, what do I care?'

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!!! Thank you so much to eve

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

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 Ritz-Frith.  Artist is B
