Be Free

Always looking out for new idea to incorporate with my tangles.

Here I drew a flower, some swirls and circles with 'Crystal Effects' then tangled.  Oh I sponged some vanilla cardstock with distressed ink first.

Thanks for looking :)

Close up - you can see the raised effect

Overexposed and added some rays digitally

I spritzed a number of blank ATC yesterday - tangled this one tonight - I like doing them in pairs.

Thanks for looking :)

I don't think I've ever tried this tangle - don't know how that happened as it's quite a simple and effective one.

Thank you for visiting :)

I forgot that this was going to be a monotangle for this week's 'Adventures in Monotangles' with Roy from 'Mindful Creations' :)

mindful-creations.blogspot.com.au/

This Adventure, which is now up to Week 14 is to use the tangle called 'Hollibaugh'. So here you have it, something that began with Hollibaugh in mind, but then I got side tracked.

I'll try to do another one soon.

Thanks for your visit - comments are always welcome and appreciated :)

10,000 Hits - thanks Everyone :)

Wooh! Hooh!  I am very excited - thanks to everyone who has visited my blog.  Who would have thought that I would even have a blog.  I probably wouldn't if I didn't discover my favourite pastime 'Zentangle' :)

Z - Box (Zibbox)

Zibbox looks much harder than it really is and moves along quite easily :)
Thank you for your visit :)

Chop Chop Pattern Step by Step

Chop Chop pattern.

It doesn't really matter if the 'curves' and 'triangles' are not the same size. The only important thing is that they line up - row by row.

It reminds me of a choppy sea but then again I see a flock of seagulls :)

Thank you for looking - comments most welcome :)

Here are some examples:

Chop Chop pattern. This is the curvy version and less structured which I like. It doesn't really matter if the 'curves' and 'triangles' are not the same size. The only important thing is that they line up - row by row.

It reminds me of a choppy sea and I can even see a 'flock of seagulls' :)

Playing Catch Up

I don't like seeing unfinished pieces in my sketchbook -  I was going to help my sister pack as she is moving house, but last minute changes so I stayed home and tangled instead :)

 

 This started as a test piece to a couple of patterns that came to me (the middle one and on the right hand side - the one on the left is a variation to 'Offerings'

Came up with the pattern above - its called 'Z-Box' or Zibbox - have step outs but not posted anywhere yet :)

Saw these cute wooden magnets at the Newsagent this morning, just had to buy them to tangle on.

not sure if I posted this one last night - another variation to 'Tule'

Thank you for visiting - please come again :)
