Well, cruffle-lovers... the day is finally here! It's been so fun to see '<a href="http://tanglebucket.blogspot.com/2012/07/cruffle-order-vs-chaos.html">cruffle 1.0</a>' pop up in artwork all over the world in the five years that have come and gone since I first posted the original version of this pattern. I hope you find inspiration here too.<br />
<br />
I spent a long time trying to narrow this collection down to a less overwhelming size, but I've realized that everybody has different tastes and might like some of the variations that I don't... so I'm putting ALL of it out there, and will leave it to you to decide what you like. These variations are loosely divided into categories, which you will see as you scroll. I have not included drawing instructions because most of them start with the first couple of steps that cruffle does, so they shouldn't be too tricky to deconstruct. If you have questions, you can use the widget in my sidebar to email me, or leave a comment below.<br />
<br />
The first 76 variations are drawn by starting with a circle and an S curve:<br />

You can see I started to get a little punchy after a while, but this is how I work out new variations. I never rule out anything until I've gotten it down on paper, no matter how off the wall it might be. Coming back to a drawing later will almost always produce new ideas. Obviously several of these would have gotten the axe, but since I said I'd show you everything... well...</div>

P.S. If you were looking at the numbers, you may have noticed there is no #146. That turned out to be a duplicate scan that I caught at the last minute (hopefully the only one), so I'll leave these little bijous with you to make up for it. </div>

It's interesting to me, to look back and see how my drawing style has evolved... as you can see, I was not quite as committed to the tedious task of shading four years ago as I am today. But my friend Alice has just had eye surgery, so I'm doing my part to honor her request for fun stuff to look at upon her return to Tangleville. :o) </div>

I can't read the actual post because it's written in German, but the basic idea is to combine elements of two separate tangle patterns- in this case it's <a href="http://tanglepatterns.com/2012/08/how-to-draw-d-vine.html">d-vine</a> and <a href="http://lifeimitatesdoodles.blogspot.de/2010/02/my-tangle-patterns-embellish.html">embellish</a>- to make one new pattern. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My favorite thing EVER. That's one challenge I will never get tired of. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm abandoning my usual style of only allowing people to see the finished piece in favor of trying to relax my inner perfectionist that only wants people to see the shiny perfect version of things. So, in the spirit of authenticity... I hope you enjoy my jumbled mess of a sketchbook page. ;o)</div>

Highlights and shadows on midtone Strathmore Artagain paper, ink & watercolor. This isn't for a challenge or anything; I just happened to rediscover a stack of precut midtone paper I'd forgotten about (and I broke my no-coffee-after-three rule today). :oD</div>

<br />
You may have noticed that my tangling has slowed down a little this year, and it's partly due to thumb pain. The Very Expensive Specialist said, "Well, you don't have arthritis, so..." (*shrug*)"... here, have some knee meds"! I can still draw ok, but my thumb often aches afterward. I should have expected this, to be honest. George Clooney warned me this would happen when he said, "After forty, it's all about pluggin' the holes in the boat." How true, Mr. Clooney. He knows me so well.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway... onward! It's been <i>way</i> too long since I jumped in on a Diva challenge. I've always liked Tripoli. I liked it more once I figured out that drawing it successfully, like many other patterns, is more about drawing the spaces in between the shapes than the shapes themselves. Keeping parallel lines the same distance apart as much as possible = magic. My unsolicited advice for the day. :oD</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My mind went in different directions while I was drawing, so there are a couple of variations here. Monotangles really take discipline for me because I like to throw a lot at my tiles. It's a good exercise to rein it in once in a while and find ways to make an old dog do new tricks, though. Once it was done, I tried rotating it in different directions and saw a variety of things with each rotation. I have chosen PegLeg Chef Tossing Pizza Dough for your viewing pleasure. </div>

Remember being a kid, when it was actually fun to get mail? Well, if you're missing those days, hop onto the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/travellingtangles/">Traveling Tangles</a> bandwagon to spruce up your mailbox. Nothing good ever arrives in a window envelope, after all... and getting mail from all over the world is exciting. No pressure though- if you're not sure about jumping in, lurking in the shadows is perfectly acceptable. I love the ones where the artistic style of the participants is vastly different and yet the tiles are just come together. Just another example of how this art community brings people together.<br />
<br />
The following are all tiles that were partially tangled and snail-mailed to me for finishing. I debated posting before-and-after scans but it's more fun to guess who did what. It's been a few days anyway, so even I'm not completely sure.<br />
<br />
I'll keep all the Diva-ness together... the next three tiles were started by Laura (Canada) and finished by me. Somebody remind me to ask her what she used for color- my micron skated over that sparkly, glorious sunset mishmash like an olympian. I'd like to tell you that if you show up on my doorstep I'll let you see it in person, but I really don't want you to. You can just take my word for it.<br />

This one was started by Alice Hendon (Maine) and finished by me. She's got a pattern called All Boxed Up that I love to play with... I could monotangle that sucker til the cows come home and go out again. I love it so hard.<br />

Emily Classen (Massachusetts) sent me this black tile to finish. It was a surprise, actually... I went a little bonkers over the pic when she showed it to me, and the real deal landed in my mailbox a few days later. My mailbox is a magnet for good things lately, y'all! So grateful for good friends.</div>

Glenys Sykes (UK) sent me this lovely Renaissance (tan) tile. It was so unbelievably pretty as is that I was afraid I'd ruin it, so I just added a few touches of white. There have been many tiles on the TT page that I wouldn't change... they were already perfect. This is definitely one of those. </div>

Barb Mavraganis (Pennsylvania) sent me this one. It took me a while to figure out what to do with it... I saw another tile with chainging on it and it made me want to play with the pattern. The gold highlights Barb added are my favorite part. It's a perfect gold... not too green and not too orange. </div>

This one came from Lynn Mead (Washington) and is a good example of one that was already perfect upon arrival. I just added the raindotty variation and the gold touches, but let's be honest, it didn't really need either one!<br />

I was kicking back with her in her sewing room (a.k.a. her 'happy place'!) yesterday, and wondered aloud whether a Zentangle tile could successfully be stitched by machine since it's 100% cotton paper. Never one to back down from a creative challenge, she did the loopy border on her sewing machine, and then I tangled the rest.<br />

A few other borders... they didn't make the cut, but still looked pretty cool stitched into the tiles. These patterns might look vaguely familiar to my fellow tangle junkies.</div>

<div>
Soo, lollywimple. </div>
<div>
Yes, I can hear you shouting 'oh, whatever, that's crescent moon!' To which I say, "look again!'</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This pattern is drawn as a ribbon or border. It absolutely can be drawn successfully without the initial pencil strings, but since I like to use it as a foundation to build on, I've left them in all the drawings below so you can see where the pattern started. You'll see why in a minute.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The basic steps:<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
first, the lollies on a string... o O o (which I will refer to as 'bubbles' from here on out, because I honestly don't know how many times one can read the word 'lolly' in a single blog post without wanting to slap the author). </div>
<div>
<br />
...aaaand then, the wimples!... ) ) )<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B8VF2OXyyuM/Vq8TbSXJH7I/AAAAAAAACqE/4yPbN2scdNM/s1600/steps.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B8VF2OXyyuM/Vq8TbSXJH7I/AAAAAAAACqE/4yPbN2scdNM/s1600/steps.jpg" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Step 0: optional, but try it this way first. Lay down two parallel pencil lines, relatively close together. When I draw auras around a shape, I don't like to let them go on and on and get too big (I'm lookin' at you, IX!), because the lines start to get harder to control. The closer together your pencil lines are, the more your auras will behave. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
• Vary the size of the bubbles (and the spaces between them, if you're feeling adventurous) along the entire length of the first pencil string. Repeat with the second, varying the size of the bubbles between the left and right sides, and offsetting them so that none are directly 'across the lane' from another.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
• Add one aura to each bubble. Then start adding extra auras, here and there, very randomly. The end result can be very interesting if you don't go in order- or even double up on some before moving on to another one. You start with one on every bubble so you have the width of at least one aura between every bubble to work with later.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
NOT closing off the spaces between the bubbles (as I have done below) will give you more options for blending this pattern with others. So consider this the version you would use for a simple border.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
A couple more examples of a simple border... </div>

It's cute... but, very cool things can happen if you *don't* close off those edges! You can see how far the first auras extend past the pencil line- I LOVE irregular edges.</div>

I probably threw too many different patterns at this one... but I love busy line art with lots to look at, so I went for broke.<br />

A few other examples. I know this post might not seem as straightforward as some other tangle how-tos (more art, less zen for sure) but you can see where I started if you look for the pencil strings. The other stuff just blooms out of the open spaces in between the bubbles. This is why you should always draw your initial string in pencil with Zentangle... open ends are GOOD. You can't build a city with a wall in the way!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
This pattern doesn't have to make sense, visually. Continue some lines, close off others... just have fun with it. Shading does wonders, too.<br />

“I don't really care what the "rules" of Zentangle are! I'm not a rule-follower...it’s my art and I’ll do what I want!” </div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
I see this subject get kicked around on Zentangle fan forums from time to time. I don’t normally engage because I don’t really feel like handing angry people a stick to beat me with, but it’s hard for me to see something so inherently good and useful be misunderstood. So, I want to try to explain it. Please bear in mind that this is my own point of view and I'm not representing anyone else.</div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
Books and Pinterest and YouTube videos are all <i>wonderful</i> sources for patterns for doodling/tangling/patterning/line weaving…. but all of those words are used interchangeably, and that’s where the conflict arises. The confusion seems to come from the fact that that people will refer to any intricate piece of line art as a Zentangle, because they think that’s just the latest buzzword for ‘that thing I was already doing years ago in the margins of notebooks’. </div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
It is possible to place identical drawings side by side where one is a doodle, and the other is a Zentangle. The reason that’s possible is because the art itself does not make a drawing a Zentangle. The art is the <i>byproduct</i> of the complete mental immersion in the process of ‘tangling’. It all depends on where your mind is when you do it. If you’re in this for the art, these guidelines don't matter one iota. Doodle/draw/sketch away. But if you’re craving a temporary, effective escape plan from pain, grief, or stress (or you just need a mental break) read on, because this information just might come in handy one day.</div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
Yes, the rumors are true: there <i>are</i> guidelines (they're just roads to a destination, really) with Zentangle. And they don’t exist to crush your spirit. Think of them as stout little pillars that work together to support a single purpose: to refocus the mind. Zentangle is <i>mindful</i>. <i>Every guideline exists to make that complete mental immersion possible, and sustain it. </i>That's no easy task in a fast-paced culture (with a constant barrage of distractions) like ours.</div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
#1: The first step in starting a Zentangle: a border and ’string’, drawn lightly in pencil. </div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
Reason: The pencil line, or string, creates sections to draw within. The string line is merely a suggestion and a place to begin. It is drawn lightly in pencil so that it will disappear behind the ink that follows. Some people have never faced a blank piece of paper and been intimidated and overwhelmed by it, but for those who have, something as simple as having a place to start is a huge relief and can easily mean the difference between success and failure. </div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
#2: Zentangles are completely abstract.</div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
Reason: This eliminates the preoccupation with whether something looks ‘right’. If it’s supposed to look like a bird but something about it doesn’t look the way it should, that is what you will be preoccupied with. This actually eliminates a whole bunch of other mental hurdles that go along with drawing specific things, e.g. proportion, placement, what goes around it, etc.</div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
#3: Zentangles are drawn only in black ink. </div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
Reason: This keeps the tangling process as right-brained as possible. To keep the focus on the repetition of the patterns, the slow, deliberate drag of the nib across the paper, the ink soaking into the paper in its wake. With color, decisions must be made: Paint or gel pens? Or marker? How many colors? Which ones? Where do I add them? Do they work together? If you start to add color, that is what you will be preoccupied with. And limiting drawing materials can inspire creativity in surprising ways.</div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
#4: Patterns should be created by drawing repetitive strokes… structured, non-representational, and easy to draw in a limited number of steps.</div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
Reason: The goal is to focus on the strokes of the pen used to create the pattern, and the controlled breathing that happens along with it. The primary goal of drawing a Zentangle is not to draw complicated tangle patterns. Some people are in it for the Zen, some are in it for the art… and there can be a pretty big difference in the way it looks. Which brings us to…</div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
#5: No planned outcome. </div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
Reason: This aligns with minimizing decision-making. Relaxing into the process and just letting a Zentangle unfold as it appears line by line is calming, and it’s fun to see all those little nuances coming together here and there when opportunities present themselves. </div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
#6: Paper, or ‘tiles’, are 3.5 inches square.</div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
Reason: Zentangles are designed to be finished in a short time. They’re friendly. They’re manageable. There is a sense of accomplishment that comes from creating something beautiful from start to finish in one sitting. The small size also makes it portable (Doctor’s waiting room? No problem. Two-hour wait for an oil change? Yes please!). And because it’s small, it’s easy to turn, making drawing in one direction over another more comfortable. </div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
#7: No using stencils, rulers, or graph paper. </div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
Reason: In short, there is no zen to be had in the preoccupation with perfection. There’s a certain joy in letting the pen wander without being confined to a grid or rigid space. Imperfection makes art more interesting… embrace it! Also, see #2. </div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">

“It is the nature of all greatness not to be exact.” -Edmund Burke</div>

#8 No erasers. </div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px;">
Reason: Anything that interrupts the drawing process is going to create a shift in focus. Then it becomes less about drawing those slow deliberate lines and breathing, and more about fixing/changing stuff. Just keep drawing and let it evolve. Get comfortable with the idea that mistakes can be turned into something good and unexpected (and exciting!).</div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141923; font-family: Livory; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
If you’re not a rule-follower, it’s ok. Not following these steps does not mean your line art is in any way bad or wrong; it just means it’s not technically a Zentangle. I’m a CZT and 99% of what I draw isn’t technically Zentangle... I’m here for the art too. It's good to know the difference, but don’t let it be a label and keep you from enjoying the journey. </div>

I did, I'm sure, what most normal people do... pretended I was tangling on the beach with a mai tai and not surrounded on all sides by a riot of screaming children. ;o) <span style="text-align: center;">Zentangle is so great for that... temporary mental relocation for the cost of a pen and a tile!</span><br />

As per my usual, my directions probably seem more complicated than they need to be. These are just some tips and tricks that help me with my drawing style... you may not need them. And if you're not a perfectionist, you can skip this part altogether:</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
• This is not a fast pattern to draw... the third step especially is a real time-suck. I found that it helps to use a smaller pen for the third step than you use for the first two... and (like a lot of patterns) it really helps to slow it down while drawing it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• It sounds nit-picky but if you do all your circles at once, then all of your lines, then switch pens for the swoop that connects those lines you won't have to keep switching back and forth (and your swoop-to-line connections will be neater). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• You could just draw a circle and park a flower in it, but the lines that go in first provide consistency in spacing and depth. They also keep the lines from going too far into the circle... otherwise it looks more like a flower. I draw from the inside to the edge because that works really well to control the length of the lines.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• I section off a circle the same way I section off my mandalas so I don't have to use a ruler or measure. Imagine a clock: the first line is drawn at twelve, then six, then three, then nine. I then cut those sections in half until I have the number of sections I want. Center each new line between two existing lines, and then draw the opposing one directly across from it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• I draw the dots in step 4 in the same order that I do the lines... I don't just go around the inside of the circle. I don't know why it works, but drawing them across from each other helps me keep the dots centered on each line.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe I'm even saying this, but I think I should have used red for this one. </div>

Using different numbers of lines/lobes will give you a different look. So far I've found that 12 is the easiest to section off and looks the best. And 24 makes a nice throw rug.</div>

>>> An exciting update...!!! <<<<br />
<br />
I was looking at the above tile last night (after I'd already published this post, naturally... that's when the good ideas roll in!), when it hit me: this pattern would look SO AWESOME with one of Lynn Mead's dewdrops in the center! I'm rather fond of daisies so I was quite taken with this idea. I contacted Lynn, and she graciously accepted my challenge and sent me this beauty. If you want to learn how to draw your own dewdrops, you know what to do! >>> <a href="http://www.atanglersmind.com/dew-drop-tutorial/">.oOo.</a><br />

I absolutely love the contrast between the stark black & white and the soft grays... collaboration between tanglers always brings new and unexpected surprises!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Remember those coin collector pages I posted a few years back, that I used to <a href="http://tanglebucket.blogspot.com/2012/08/for-my-fellow-tangle-junkies-some.html">organize tangle patterns</a>? I've been using them to sort watercolor swatches. The name of the color and the manufacturer are written on the backs. There's also room for the pigment code, lightfastness ratings, granulation and staining info on the back (unless your writing looks like mine did in seventh grade).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The benefit to sorting paint swatches this way is that they can be pulled out and grouped so it's easy to figure out what colors should go together for a particular project. I'll be doing this with my Inktense pencils too, and then put them in a tabbed binder by medium. And then colored pencils... and my Sparkling H2Os... ooh, I think I'm gonna need more tabs! Where's my paper punch??</div>

FYI, <a href="http://cropstop.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=630_632&products_id=13355#.VZoRPHi1mRM">CropStop</a> has started selling pocket pages similar to these in clear acid-free plastic that won't yellow over time. I have the pages for regular tiles and I'm happy with those, so I'll try out the little ones and see if they're lighter and less smelly (not even kidding). If anyone has experience with the pocket pages for two-inch tiles, I'd like to know whether the tiles are secure or if they slide out. Can't have my swatches jumpin' ship!</div>

<br />
Hope you enjoy all four of these nearly-identical photos that *almost* capture the shiny, strappy, sun-drenched essence of the original piece. ;o)<br />

Thanks to Laura for the challenge... I will definitely be trying these particular tools of the trade again. And now I have a whole new respect for people who can successfully photograph shiny/metallic things, 'cause <i>boy</i> is it ever tricky. :o)<br />

<br />
My own personal challenge is to get this posted before my laptop battery dies, as it's currently down to 2% power... so with no ado at all, here's my year-of-the-rabbit tile:<br />

One of my favorite things about tangling is how one thing often turns into something else, which turns into something kind of unexpected and wonderful. Thought I'd share this serendipitous moment with you, since you're here and all. ;o) I won't blather on... here y'go.<br />

If you're not a perfectionist, please disregard the following...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some helpful hints- 'cause you know I'm way too chatty to just drop and run:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 1: Space evenly and draw slowly so your pearls don't end up with tails. When in doubt, go with a smaller pen size or draw a little bigger than usual until you get a feel for the way the elements of this pattern fit together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 2: This line should start close to the top middle of the first pearl and extend close to the bottom middle of the next pearl. If these shapes aren't slanted enough, there won't be enough room to vary the sizes of the outer lines of pearls in Step 3 and 4. Try to draw each line as an extension of the curve it's coming off of, so you're less likely to have a big 'dent' in between pearls and lines (which is awkward to fill in).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 4: To get a good smooth curve, keep in mind that the biggest pearl in the middle is the halfway point of each section, not the end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 5: Make these shapes as big and as round as possible. Draw on the lines that are already there so your circles are nice and big in there. Ideally, you want as few spaces as possible to fill in with black in your last step. The less black fill you have in the middle, the better your final result will look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 6: Think of this step as spackle, to smooth out those pesky little valleys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

If I hadn't been so tired when I wrote that challenge (late-night, last-minute as usual... 'cause that's how I roll), I would have realized that nearly all of my examples were stuffing tangles into grids and only one tangle pattern got liberated in that post. So I've got a few more examples to show you.<br />
<br />
Just a few things to ponder (because I did a terrible job of explaining this in my original post):<br />
<br />
• Putting a pattern into a grid is usually easier than taking one out. If you don't know where to start, try a grid first. Lines, dots... start with whatever you like to draw the most.<br />
<br />
• Don't be afraid to only use a piece of a pattern you like; it doesn't have to be the whole thing. Picking a pattern in the first place is just so there is a place to start, a jumping-off point to get inspired.<br />
<br />
• No grid doesn't necessarily mean no structure, unless you want it to. It just means you don't start with dots or lines in military formation.<br />

Haven't jumped on the merry bandwagon in a while, so I sat down recently and did a couple of <a href="http://www.iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/">weekly challenges</a>. I couldn't decide to go with color or shading for the <a href="http://tanglepatterns.com/2012/11/how-to-draw-bugles.html">Bugles</a> one, so I went with this (it wasn't a total waste; at least next time I'll know what not to do). I'd go back and add a little shading to make this better, but I've spent so much time looking at it today that I'm ready to be done with it. I like the pattern, at least.</div>

My very talented friend Debra makes her own hand-dyed and hand-painted fabric, which she then sells to quilters and those Very Patient people who like to applique. A couple of days ago, she invited me to her studio to join in on the fun, and I managed to snap a few photos in between steps (when my rubber gloves were clean enough to pick up my phone). Had I not been participating in the process, I would have taken more pictures... but there are still enough to get a general idea of what went down in the studio! Just FYI, this is not one of my usual 'how-to' posts... this is more of a recap. I can't guarantee all of the steps are documented here (or in any kind of logical order, for that matter)! </div>

After Debra soaked the fabric in a bucket of dye, I got to add a little 'character' to it. With blue. </div>

She's what I like to call a 'real artist', and she's been known to teach some really fun and unusual things. She gave me a crash course in marbling paper with shaving cream a few weeks ago (actually, it all began with eggs, but that's a post for another day), and since a few people have asked me how it was done, I thought I'd share what I learned.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-something large and washable/disposable to protect your workspace.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-shaving cream, nothin' fancy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-wet washcloth/towel/paper towel.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-heavy paper that can handle wet media, cut down to a manageable size. I used both hot press and cold press watercolor paper (140 lb).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-acrylic paint or ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-a sturdy, moisture-resistant plate, cookie sheet, or disposable aluminum pan (mom, I still have your green tupperware plate, k?).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-a stirring stick, pencil, chopstick or other poky item. Toothpicks are ok, but they'll take much longer to swirl the paint around because they're so small.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-a gift card or other flat, straight-edged scraper.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-container with a narrow, even edge (for scraping off your scraper).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-I also added a few drops of an iridescent medium, but have since replaced that with something from the Golden line that is more compatible with the paints I used.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-despite its presence in the above photo, you will not need the pet hair roller. If you do, you probably have a cat like mine who is constantly getting into things he shouldn't be getting into, and I symphathize with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">You might also find an assistant useful. Preferably one with opposable thumbs, unlike mine.</span></div>

First, the shaving cream- you'll need enough to make a plate-sized pancake. Helpful hint: hold your plate vertically and your shaving cream can fully upright, or you're probably gonna wear it. </div>

Consider this step bonus art... here we have a crouching monster on the left... and the shape on the right looks kinda like a fat seal cramming herself into an inner tube. Although I *might* be projecting a little since summery weather has arrived in Texas and I just ate half a bag of french burnt peanuts. </div>

Sorry about the shadows and weird lighting. It was late in the day and my work lamps blow out the color in photos, so I wanted to use sunlight.</div>

Just a side note... microns worked fine on these, but I couldn't get gel pens or paint pens to show up at all. This was before I switched from the W&N iridescent medium, which is designed for watercolor. I only used a few drops, but I don't know if it matters. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some other cards I did that day. Notice that the more I worked with the foam, the more blended and softer the colors became. That was my goal- so I could use these as background color for tangling (of course).</div>

One shot of my own personal allergen cocktail every 30 minutes, for the purpose of reaching a maintenance level dose faster. Fall is my suckiest time of year, so I've got some time to build up my resistance to ragweed and mountain cedar. I'm also ok with rounding it all up and burning it down to the ground. I'll even bring the marshmallows.<br />
<br />
Anyway, my mom kept me company the whole time. I beat her in one round of <a href="http://www.pagat.com/rummy/handfoot.html">hand and foot</a> out of nine (almost two), and that's kind of a big deal in sandyland. My mom's a total card fiend... she's not completely unbeatable, but there is some high-level strategy going on upstairs... whereas I'm usually pondering whether she's got all the ingredients in her pantry to make chocolate chip cookies as we play. :o)<br />

Lately my go-to tangle patterns have been curvy and flowy, and I've been playing around with a new rather feminine one that I'm calling Lola. I won't use the D-word, but developing this pattern was kind of an absent-minded process, taking one pattern and morphing it into something else, and then into something else from that, and so on, by changing one small thing with each version of the drawing until I liked the result enough to experiment further.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the basic how-to:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Drawing tips:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be mindful of which 'lobe' you want to be the biggest and be consistent when drawing these, since varying that part will produce very different results.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When drawing the three inner teardrop shapes, try to keep the amount of space between the outline and the inner shapes consistent. If you have trouble, try drawing the middle one first and then the ones on either side. And the width of the 'stem' part is about how big the gap between the lines should be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
But wait, there's more!</div>

I thought the swoopy lines of this pattern suited Helen Williams' style very much, so I gave it to her to play with last week. And she very kindly took time out of her chaotic schedule to knock it right out of the park. :oD I just love these... be sure to click on them to view them full size.</div>

See that rubber stamp there? Notice it says 'I'm <i>dreaming</i> of a white Christmas'. Not 'I have reason to anticipate a white Christmas'. Not 'we're definitely in for a white Christmas'. Not 'hey, we could still have a snowball's chance, even though we live in Texas!'.</div>
<div>
<br />
My northern friends have all had so much snow they're still mad about it... but nooo, not us. Now we're out of chances, running full-tilt into warmish weather... and I'm left with that lingering feeling of snowlessness. Fortunately, my tanglin' friends have really come through for me. And it's a win-win: I've got several inches of beautiful snow to admire, piled up in a nice neat column... and everyone else still gets to hold out hope that flip flop season will soon be upon them.<br />
<br />
When I first contemplated this post, I had 20 tangleflakes ready to sprinkle in with all the others. But then I made them into a mobile for Brandi's Zentangle art show, and it sold before I could scan them in. I really can't complain about that, so we'll just consider this a multi-guest post! Enjoy... these are SO pretty.<br />

If you haven't been to Ben Kwok's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/171809746345318/">Ornation Creation facebook page</a>, you're missing out on weekly templates like this for tangling/coloring/whatever you like to do with open spaces that beckon. Normally they're animals, but the cool thing about all of his templates is that he adds in contour lines- not just a basic outline- to help tanglers wrap their patterns around properly so that the drawing looks as dimensional as possible. And they're freeee!</div>

I did two zendalas: one in honor of my brother, who is getting hitched on Valentine's Day, and one in honor of his wife-to-be. I love him to pieces, and she is so perfect for him. Totally thrilled for them both.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Both of these are six-inch zendalas on Fabriano Tiepolo paper. </div>
<div>
04 sensei, 01 and 005 microns, stardust clear gelly roll pen for sparkle, 2B pencil for shading, Daniel Smith watercolors to make 'em snappy. Granulating ones... that's why they look a little grainy. I think. Gotta watch those perky cobalts.. they'll turn on you faster than you can say 'valendala'!</div>

I hosted a small CZT bookmark swap a few months back. It was supposed to be a quick one, just a few weeks, but because of a couple of funny mishaps, the last recipient has only just recently received hers in the mail. Now that they've all found their way home, I can share them with the tangleverse, sans spoilers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just look at the beautiful tangle art that's graced my studio! I'm not sure I'm cut out for this swap-hosting business, but it was so worth it to get to see all of these (insert puffy heart here)!</div>

When I first posted these, I hadn't actually *done* <a href="http://www.iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/2013/12/weekly-challenge-148.html">the challenge</a> yet... but I did make a few templates for it while I was horsing around with my Wacom tablet. Of course, you don't actually <i>need</i> a template... but if you wanna just get to the fun tangling part without a whole lot of left-brainery, one of these just might come in handy (think of them as themed picture frames for your art). You have plenty of time to do as many as you like, as the Diva is taking a well-deserved break until January.<br />

Happy tanglin'... I don't do many of the Diva challenges these days (mostly because I am <i>incredibly</i> bad at time management), but I do love to go look at the things other people post now and then. So far, <a href="http://theinkyartist.blogspot.com/2013/12/weekly-challenge-148-keep-calm-tangle-on.html">this</a> is my favorite post for this challenge... lol.</div>
