It's the second annual Summer Tangles Challenge!!
Like last year, I've drawn the tangles from the current TanglePattern's 2019 Tangle Guide so that everyone has access to the step outs; the list of tangle creators is included in this wonderful resource (I highly recommend supporting Linda Farmer's efforts by purchasing the guide.) Some are old, some new; some "official" from Zentangle HQ, most not. There are grids, organics, fillers, borders, and more. For the most part, I chose tangles that I have either rarely or never used so that I can add to my comfort repertoire. I've also chosen a few techniques, or trends, popular among CZTs (Certified Zentangle Teachers) and other tanglers, such as marginalia, inkless tangling, and Zentwining. I'll post my tiles here, on my FB page, and on Instagram ("yankeetangler"), and encourage others to post their own, using #summertangles2019. Below I include an explanation of some of the terms, with links and examples.
The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. It was originated by Maria and Rick Thomas. For more information or to find a Certified Zentangle Teacher near you, visit Zentangle HQ.
Have fun experimenting and spread the word!
