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.

illusion tangle

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

This reminds me of porkchops or the plaque that ends up in your arteries from eating them. What do you see?

pony beadz

This is the design on the front of one of our fans. When I got it down on paper, I decided it reminded me more of an Iris.

plop fizz 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?

Like patchwork quilts?

Knotted Board Tangle

This is easy to do but gives a nice wooden look.

Latest Tangles

Cornz Tangle

This was inspired by a design I saw on a check I got at work.

Crate Tangle

My husband said this looks like a crate or the 5 gallon water bottles lying on their sides in a truck.  LOL

Furn Tangle

I just got playing with swirls. My husband says this looks like prehistoric ferns. So.......

Heart Flower Tangle

This was inspired by a design I saw on a check I got at work.

Swirling Blades Tangle

I've begun asking my husband to name my tangles so he tells me what they look like to him.  Thus swirling blades.

Posies

Posies

What pretty pictures you can make with tangles and a little bit of color!

Lemonz Tangle

 Nice cool slices of summer-time lemons.

Prickly Tangle

This, of course, is my version a prickly pear cactus.

Starz Lite Tangle

The fun thing about tangles is how you can experiment with basic designs.....in this case a five-pointed star.

The Point Tangle

I saw a arrow point in an advertisement like this.  Put together they make an interesting design.



Discus Tangle

I got this pattern from a plate on ebay.

Water Ripples Tangle

This reminds me of drops in a body of water where it ripples outwards in rings.

Thing-a-ma-jigs

This string is made with a drafting tool.

Granny Square Tangle

I love to crochet. That was my favorite hobby BEFORE tangling came into my life!  This tangle represents one of my favorite crochet patterns.....the granny square.

Endless Caterpillar

I call this Endless Caterpillar because it looks like a caterpillar swallowed it's tail.

Stax Tangle

I really had something else a little different in mind when I came up with this one but it turned out interesting just the same.

Torn Flowers

This is one of my personal favorites.  I don't usually make a tangle out of just one main pattern but I really liked this pattern and it turned out great!

Book Spiral Tangle

I was looking at the wire spiral on my sketchbook and thought that would be a cool tangle....and it is

Color!

Just started to add a little color to some of my tangles.

Coral Tangle

This tangle is inspired by a picture I saw online of some miniature coral the size of a fingernail.

It's ME!
I love, love, love how you can tangle ANYTHING!

Variety Tangle

I love the variety of tangle patterns there are out there as demonstrated in my tangle here.

Fish Star

I had so much fun making this star.  I love the little fishheads in it.

Exclaim! tangle

This is made out of exclaimation points, as you can see.  Kind of reminds me of a jester's hat when when you string them all together.

barbed tangle

I love the look of barbed wire in art. I worked and worked to get this so I would be able to make the barbed wire look consistent each time it was made. Finally figured it out! Remember to keep the arches for the wire low.

This is one of my earliest full page tangles.

I really like this one.  In fact, it now has a home in my niece's insurance office.  :0)

I love the seashells in this one.  Fun to do.

Even scribbles can become art!

Kinda reminds me of a fancy chair.
