A favorite tangling source for me is children's coloring pages from the internet. You can find large plain shapes that are wonderful for tangling like this fish that I did for a co-worker.

Older Tangles

Before I started this blog, I was posting all my tangles on Flickr.  Today I have downloaded all those older tangles of mine here.  You will now see here all my tangles to date.

The boxes give the illusion of floating amid the stripes.

tapeworm tangle

I know that a tapeworm has many segments like this but this can also be a string of pearls or other beads.

platelets tangle

I hope you are able to see my steps well enough to use them. I only have my Blackbery for pictures and downloads.

This is kind of a humorous tangle. Effervescent disks. Remember plop, plop, fizz, fizz?

 Nice cool slices of summer-time lemons.
