Steampunk Months

-

 

June and July are special months at Tangle All Around on Facebook. We are working with steampunk patterns - many of which are new to the group. Each week I give the group a template to work with. This seahorse was the week three project. While we were in Cedar Key last week I spent an afternoon adding tangles to the various sections of my seahorse. 




When I was finished with the tangling I added watercolor to bring my little seahorse to life! Schmincke is my preferred brand of watercolors. I love working with templates like this. 




You have already seen my week one dragonfly in an earlier post. Both these week one and two templates were based on Ben Kwok drawings he made available on Facebook. 




I made this template for week two. Some people like to tangle more organically and may not care for insects and ocean life. I figured this one could be interpreted in several different ways. 




For this one I stayed with traditional black and white tangling. Love how this turned out! Kind of floral, kind of not. And now I am working on the template for week four. Want to see what it is? 



Another Ben Kwok template from Oration Creation. Perhaps a turtle is calling your name? Want to learn more about steampunk and tangling? Visit us at Tangle All Around and answer the three simple questions so I know you are a real person and not a machine. Hope to see you there!

    I can see you enjoyed doing the seahorse. This is such an interesting idea. It's lovely seeing all your ideas for projects each month in the group - the watercolour month is going to be very interesting indeed. Thank you for all the effort you put into the group. Evy

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
