Steampunk Tangling

-

 















We continue steampunk tangling this month of July in Tangle All Around. Last post I showed you several templates we worked with in June. Last week we tangled up an awesome turtle. This is the one I made. I used a lot of tangles on it - all boxed up, viola, I-wear, steel, spindle and a few more. Lots of fun! Normally I would watercolor this little guy but I wasn't feeling up to it. So I used my trusty Copic sketch markers to bring this little guy to life.



Here is my black and white version before I added color and shading. I like him this way, too! Let me show you the template we used. 



The template was provided by Ben Kwok in the archived FB group Ornation Creation. He has such great ideas and this is just one of them. You can find Ben on Instagram by searching Bioworkz. 



"There be dragons here." One of my favorite quotes. Mainly because I love dragons so much! This week's template is a dragon and I am working on mine today. 

We will be doing steampunk art all month long. Come join us on FB in Tangle All Around by clicking here. You will need to answer three simple questions so I will know you are YOU and NOT a machine. Hope to see you there! And happy tangling!

    Ben Kwok's work is so amazing, and he was so generous with his templates! You've done something special with the turtle, and I can't wait to see the dragon!

    His eyes look like he's wearing underwater goggles & his tail resembles a propeller! Interestingly steampunk with a hint of softness brought in by your floral elements & the soft pink colouring. - 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
