Monaghan – tangle pattern
The second of my original designs created whilst on holiday in Ireland.
Next week: ‘Lough Erne’.
Creevagh – tangle pattern
I’m back from a holiday in Ireland, and while there I put pencil to paper and designed four new tangle patterns from scratch. They’re all named after places we visited during the stay. I’m also a bit out of touch with what patterns are out there (including my own!) – so if any are the same, or similar, apologies, and let me know!
I’ve enjoyed playing with the negative spaces on these, and this one can be embellished by emphasising the circles.
Next week: ‘Monaghan’.
Roses – tangle pattern
Here’s the final Faberge inspired tangle pattern in my Easter special. As you can see from my mistake in step 3, missing the diagonals makes for interesting contours starting to be formed! Great pattern for colouring and making your own background papers for your card crafting or scrapbooking projects.
Egg Shell – tangle pattern
This is the third of four tangle patterns based on Faberge patterns, drawn for your Easter tangles. The top section will work well as a border pattern, whilst the bottom section is a simple space filler. Tomorrow’s final instalment in this series is ‘Roses’.
Imperial Chair – tangle pattern
Quite a busy pattern based on the fretwork on a miniature Faberge chair. Should work well as a border pattern too with just one row of the repeat. This is the second of four Easter tangle patterns. Tomorrow, ‘Egg Shell’.
Pear Drops – tangle pattern
Inspired by Faberge, this is the first of four new tangle patterns I’ve put together for Easter. Tomorrow, ‘Imperial Chair’. As always, new tangle patterns will be added to my Tangle Pattern Gallery.
Heads up for the neglected Tanglers!
To my tangling fans – I’ve neglected you far too long, and have sat down and created four new patterns for you. They are loosely themed on the works of Faberge, so what better time to release them than over the Easter break. Starting on Friday I’ll post a new pattern each day for four days. Happy Tangling!
Most Commented Prize Commission
I thought I’d give you some feedback on Judy’s commission for her prize winning piece of artwork for her being the top commenter on my blog for the first year. I asked her to give me an indication of what she would like, and here’s her reply: “I would love a Zentangle piece with a bit of Promarker and WOW powder for accent color! (or colour, as is spelled in your town!) I would love the quote, “Creative Minds are never tidy!” The regular 3.5 x 3.5 inch Zentangle tile size would be fine. It would also be easy to find myself a pre-cut frame for 4 x 6 inches (approximately 10 x 15.25 cm).”
She also provided an album of images from my blog as illustration:

So… what did I come up with? I’ve put a watermark across it so that the original remains the only copy and unique to my winner. A combination of tangling, ProMarker, and a smidge of clear gloss WOW! embossing powder to make the colours zing. If you’d like to commission your own piece of art, either email me, or use the Commissions tab at the top of the page. This is now on its way to Judy 🙂
