My Patterns

Tangle art is built upon patterns. Those step-by-step instructions that tell you exactly what to do next. They begin with the first step in red ink, then move on to the next step and the next. Each new step is in red, while all the previous steps are in black. By simply following along and drawing what the step outs show you, you will pretty soon have a completed piece of artwork. Whether it be a small piece or a large piece – they are all put together one step at a time. One after the other. I want to share some of the patterns I have designed myself. Please feel free to pin them, to use them, to enjoy them. Please do not claim them as your own. It is courtesy to acknowledge the designer whenever you can. Check back often as I will be adding more.

    Lovely patterns, lovely idea to collect all of them in one page. I have recently started a blog about tangling and have to learn a lot!

ICAD (Index Card a Day), June 1 - 5, 2024

Image
  Each year during the months of June and July, Tammy Garcia (Daisy Yellow) sponsors an event she named ICAD. Stands for index card a day . The thought is each day for 61 days you create some art on an index card. Any kind of art. Any size index card. Any medium. In Facebook group Tangle All Around I encourage our members to give ICAD a try. I am working with 4" x6" index cards. If you don't have any you can cut your own from the paper you like to work with. For all 61 days I give a tangle prompt.  For June 1st, day #1, we used 4C Ruiten designed by Nicole Dreyer. My card for the day can be seen above. I love using color and lately I love working with Krista Leigh Smith 's drawings that I can color with my Copic markers. The longest part of this card was the actual tangling of 4C Ruiten.  Day #2: the tangle for June 2nd was Beadles designed by Crystal Paul. To be honest, I didn't really care for the tangle at first. Even though I am the one who selected all the p...

Tangled Dragonflies All Around

Image
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 Rit...

ICAD, Days 11 - 30

Image
  ICAD - or Index Card a Day - is over now. Every year it runs during the months of June and July and we participate in Tangle All Around .  Art on an index card. Any kind of art but in TAA I specifically ask them to use a tangle. And each day I give them a tangle to use.  Since I did chemo I just don't have the urge to make art. Of any kind. I have to make myself sit down and create. I found that working on this index card size of 4" x 6" worked for me. And I did great during June. I honestly have no idea what happened in July. But I do want to get back to making these cards AND I can use them on my daily journal pages. You know - those pages I do about once a month. The story of my life. Let me show you my rest of June ICADS.  The tangle for June 11, 2024, was Yuma. It was deconstructed (or designed) by Tina-Akua Hunziker, CZT.  Here is my 11th card. I used a gel print background - I love those colors so much! If you look closely you will see that I did not in...
