The basics:
Some half-cruffle variations:
If you like your cruffles well-mannered and domesticated, you can wrangle them into a grid:
Arrange them into a bouquet:

It's "Cruffle-ishous". . . . I am thinking chocolate cruffles sound nice!

Oh I have had SO MUCH FUN with this tangle since finding it a few days ago. It works great in bundles as a flower cluster, it is terrific as bubbles or circle filler, and in fact I filled an entire page with Cruffles in red gel ink, just needing a block of mindless time the other night.
ReplyDeleteA picture of "cruffle bubbles" on my pinterest page, linked here.
Thanks! I'm glad I "re-found" this.
hi Sandy, love you CRUFFLE pattern so much! just started to explore Zentangle...very beginner me :)
ReplyDeletethank you, i gonna trie it soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the rounded and swirly patterns, too, much more than ones with straight lines and angles. This one is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just tried a few cruffles Sandy and they are so easy & fun. Thanks for sharing! Love. :-)

ReplyDeleteGreat tangle Sandy, just found Cruffle this year, I like it's simplicity/elegance. Thanks for sharing and keeping it online.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your expanded ideas for “Cruffle.” New to Zentangle, at times I struggle with creative use of tangle variations. These tangles are uplifting and fun!
