OCTangling Continues With Week Two

-


 


















OCTangling, 2021 is off to a great start! Here we are in week two already! So many beautiful pieces of art are showing up on social media. And in my FB group Tangle All Around! My group receives a week's worth of tangles from me each weekend and they tangle them up during the week. Some are working on templates like this one. Some are drawing a tile each day. Some are working in sketchbooks. And every single one of them are doing the project the right way. This is my tile with the tangles for the first two weeks already drawn. 


Here is the list I put together for Tangle All Around. The numbers are the dates of the month. The first word is the tangle, the second word is a prompt provided by Jake and INKtober. Feel free to incorporate the prompts or not. I personally am not using them but many people are. And they are making some really cool pieces of art!

Here are the seven tangles for the week. We call the step by step directions 'step-outs'. Typically the first step is seen in red, then each additional step builds on what you already have drawn and it also shows in red. 

















And there you go for the week. Seven patterns - or tangles - you can play with and learn. I would love to see what you do! Come join us at Tangle All Around. You will be welcomed by many new -and old - friends. And everyone is welcome.

    Brilliant placement of those two tangles in bottom left & bottom right - don't they just balance each other beautifully? The way you are posting updates for every week really helps people see which tangles are coming up. For some reason the link in your email notification didn't connect properly so got here via your Home Page.

      Thank you. I’ll look into that. Might be why my views are down.

      I think doing Octangling like this is doable for most people. Hopefully 🤪

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
