Missing my tangling time - had some time to do this piece before bed :)

Went to Micheals today and found some super smooth white card board pieces, in all different shapes & sizes ... was there yesterday too & picked up one pack of squares 12 to a pack for 99cents ... got them home & they were a dream to draw on with everyting I tryed, pencils, markers, watercolor pencils, so went back today & got a lot of different ones ... decided I could use them for templates also ... this is one of the paperdoll shapes ( does'nt have fingers or toes!) .... instead of drawing on the cardboard, I traced around it & made a colorbook page for my grandaughter Zoe ... wanted to tangle the whole piece but she's only 3 , so kept it simple! ... just done in pencil ...

another attempt after a long break away from tangling.

Tipple is one of my go to patterns. I use it as a border, a fill, as an aura but especially like to use it as I have done here - only fill it in sections to create some interest.

Thanks for visiting :)

Created using Template #4 from

Step by Step pattern 'X'

was trying to work out a simpler way of drawing my pattern 'X'

what I discovered was it does not have to be in the round and I think it lends itself beautifully to squares or rectangles.

I would love to see your creations :)

Thanks for looking.

Trying out 'Leaf' by Catherine Langsdorf. doesn't quite look as nice as hers - will try this one again :)

thanks for looking - comments always welcome :)

This is the whole piece, just wanted to give you a little better view on the 1st pic ... Thought this might be a hard one to do but it turned out to be quite fun & easy to do on my cleaning breaks ...

Made this one for Laura Harms' weekly challenge #14 - Walk the Line.

Using only straight lines.

Finished it too late to post it on her blog, but wanted to show you anyway.

'Fall' or as we call it down under 'Autumn' :))

I used Henna drum, cayke.... you can also see some corn cobs and autumn leaves :)

I found this art form by exident on the net. I had to try it straight away. I think to make really nice pictures you need a lot of practice. This is my first trial, so I think it´s quite ok. I made it watching this video:

Hi everyone! ... Feels so good to be able to post a piece, it seems like it's been months instead of weeks! ... I'm mending but slowly ... can only tangle for a very short time before I have to stop ... so this took a few days to do & it's a small piece 5x5, done with Prisma # 005 & 03 markers ... Today was my 1st day in weeks that I could sit at the computer for more than a couple of minutes too, I've so missed seeing all of your beautiful work & being able to spend time commenting on it ... I'll still be here on & off for awhile, still in alot of pain & on meds. , so I'll be here when I can :) Hope everyone is well! :) THANK YOU EVERYONE SO MUCH FOR ALL THE WELL WISHES & THOUGHTFUL SWEET COMMENTS ... I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE YOU ALL AS MY ZENTANGLE FRIENDS! .... BIG SMILE :)

This is the negative , shows up a little more of the detail, tryed to enhance the original but it kept turning out way too dark blue, so the piece I posted in blue is untouched, the details just aren't showing up very well . :)

Started this one on the flight home from Florida :)

I just saw this fab pattern over at 'the weekly zentangle roundup'

not sure if I did it justice, but I just couldn't wait to give it a try :)

my thanks to Dawn Maurice for sharing the how to for this.

If you are wondering about the weird placement of my name, it's because I drew it in portrait then signed and then decided it probably needed to be in landscape :)

thanks for looking :)

colour is by photo app.

Inspired by Henna artists

Practising my Mooka!! I was looking at Mooka and an idea just came to me - Mooka reminded me of Flamingos - so I made another card. Took pics before and after colour - I don't mind either really.

trying to perfect my 'offerings' pattern. I have another one in progress (been so for over a week now!). After I uploaded this, all of a sudden it reminded me of a turtle... :))
