GratitangleZ Continues

-


 



















GratitangleZ continues this week with seven additional tangles. Not familiar with GratitangleZ? The Facebook group with that same name developed the list of patterns we are using. Tangle All Around is working the project as well and each week I post the new tangles in our group. Each day you tangle the pattern for the day while contemplating your thankfulness. We all have something to be thankful for. You can work on individual tiles, in a journal, or you can work like me. This is a 10.5" tile from Zentangle HQ. I added the color first using three Dylusions Ink Sprays and plenty of water. I even used a couple stencils for some texture. With a lightbox I traced the template in pencil. Then each day of the month I find a space to add the tangle for the day. I am writing what I am thankful for on the back side of the tile. However you do the project is just the right way for you! Let me show you the template I am using. 




It actually has 31 spaces which gives me one extra. I printed the template on a regular 8.5" x 11" sheet of computer paper, then used the lightbox to transfer it to my tile. I use this same template a couple times a year with various projects.

Now let me give you the seven tangles for this week starting with the one for today - November 11, 2023.

And that is it for this week. GratitangleZ is a great project! If you would like to join us or if you would like to learn more about this particular type of art - just click here. This will take you to Tangle All Around. You will need to answer three simple questions so I know you are a real person and not a machine masquerading as a person waiting to hack our group and post about sunglasses. I have enough sunglasses already. Hahahaha! Have a great weekend! And remember to count your blessings.

    Doesn't it look splendid the way it's filling up? Also by using the same template over again you can see the way that doing different tangles change the overall effect. I'm sitting looking at your Dex & your Jonqal & love your embellishments of both, especially the Jonqal - lovely way of getting your Printemps in there. I half expected to see your chop embedded there.......... I don't think it's made an appearance yet. - 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

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

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
