GratitangleZ - It's Another Week

-





















My tile for GratitangleZ 2023 is coming right along! I have the tangles for November 1 - 24 on this tile, with the exception of two that I substituted something else for. And I used two in one space. There are six more days to come in the project and I have nine spaces left to fill. I have an idea to narrow that down to seven spaces. You will have to wait and see until next week! Hahahaha! 


As a refresher - this is the template I am using this month. GratitangleZ is a project from another group on Facebook. They provided the list of tangles/patterns for the month. Each week in my FB group Tangle All Around, I post the patterns for the week and the members of my group come up with some really cool renderings! I would love it for you to tangle along with us. If you scroll back through the last couple posts you can find all the patterns we have used so far. 

Let me give you the seven tangles for this week. 








Seven tangles for seven days this week. Each day draw one of these patterns on a tile, in a journal, or on a template like I am. And while you draw think about something you are thankful for. I am writing my thankfuls on the back side of my 10.5" tile each day. Sometimes when I am feeling down - or just when I want to remember - I can turn this tile over and read all the things I am thankful for. 

Want to join us? You can do so by clicking this link. It would be awesome for you to tangle along with us.

Note: Last week I mentioned the name of God. In specific I said God was good. One reader took great offense and sent me a testy email which I responded to with a reply. She asked to be unsubscribed from any further posts and mailings, which I did. Why am I telling you this? If you have followed me for very long you already know I am a believer. I am a follower of Christ. Of God. I know not everyone believes the same way. I don't try to ram it down your throat. I will ask for prayer on occasion. My tribe of praying and good wish faithfuls have been on a journey through lung surgery and cancer with me. And I am so thankful for every one of you. I just wanted you to know where I stand and I hope you are good with that. If you don't feel you can handle that please let me know and I will unsubscribe you. However, I really want you all to stay so we can keep learning and working together. Love you all! Have a great week!

    Aha - Chop spotted!! It's nestling very nicely there & quite at home. My eye still gravitates to the top right hand corner - the Jonqal is just so striking with its white embellishment. Printemps taking centre stage I thought quite logical. The whole piece is coming along beautifully. Take care & I'm glad you know Him - prayer continues. - Evy

    In response to your reader who took offense. It will be her loss. Sorry you had to deal with that.

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
