Getting caught up on posts here. On July 7th, we focused our attention to this wonderful, hodgepodge of tangles called Dingsplatz. Starting with a loop deloop deloop as the frame and string all in one, and adding tangles inside and outside of the structure.

There are three Dingsplatz’ presented on the video that is on the Zentangle® Blog.

I have drawn the step out for the first example and will be working on the other two. (Pg 1 – Pg 2) Enjoy the results from this first session – and give it a go! Feel free to share your result on any of the social media you can – links below. I have 2 sessions coming up tomorrow, Tuesday July 21st 11am and 7pm EDT. See my list of classes HERE.

I’m so grateful to everyone that is traveling on this Zentangle® journey with me. Happy Tangling!!!

It’s that time of year again for Tangling on Cookies!!  This is last year’s post from after the event. This year, I thought it would be good to re-post it ahead of time. Check my Facebook page or website for Tangle Cookie event days. Recipes are at the end of the post.

Our “Ugly” sweaters. These had no frosting and the pens worked great, just have to wipe the tip frequently for crumbs. 

We also did an ensemble (we each drew a section) sweater because we had one extra. 

We also had with black frosting inspired by a Pinterest post, but didn’t turn out as described. We had fun with them anyway.

For the tangling, we used Wilton Foodwriters. They have two color sets Primary and Neon. We used fine and extra fine. I believe they may have a brush tip also. We also used a set of Betty Crocker Easy Writers. they are a very loose  brush tip,  where the Wilton’s are a felt tip like Crayola markers.  The Betty Crocker markers were great for blending and background color.

For 3D effects ,  we used Wilton’s Candy Decorating Pens. They come in a set of 4 colors and dry to a hard candy. To  use these you have to keep them in a cup of hot water to soften the candy up so it will flow. This makes it really difficult to draw with as we do with the markers plus the candy cools and hardens pretty fast.

Here are recipes for cookies and the icing – Thanks to my Mom, Cherie Hartwick, CZT, for these!

If you are inspired to Zentangle some cookies, please share photos and stories!

Thanks for reading!

Watch this video! Enough said except for – after you watch it, I’d love to hear your thoughts and reactions.

 

We had another great afternoon Zentangling cookies. The cookies are sugar cookies, some are frosted with royal icing, some were plain.

and the world. As we cry and stand with France over yet another senseless tragedy, I decided to channel my emotions into Zentangle. 

As my friends know, I have to have some type of tangle theme in mind, so decided to look for French inspired tangles. You’ll find the new”French Inspired” list on tangleaddicts.com.

Here’s my Zentangle for France. Please share yours if you are so inspired.

Earlier this month, I went to put a Netflix DVD back in the mail and it noticed that the mailer was blank on the one side. In the lower right, there was a note asking if you like to draw, to use this as your canvas and you may win some swag. I found out later you had to post it on social media with the hashtag #DVDNetflix. I did just that, posting it on my facebook page and my Zentangle page.

Today, they shared the post and had some nice things to say.

We are putting the final touches on our game, “Razzama-Tanga!” (soon to be released) and are looking for your help to decide the backs of the cards. Each set of cards will all have a different color (wording) back,  So which red, blue, and yellow card do you like best?

Hello my name is Heather and I’m a Tangle Addict.

I was introduced to ZenTangle by my Mother. I have creative talent, but was horrible at drawing.  Amazingly, I took to this art form and have found that some of the things I’ve created come out pretty good. This amazement has created the addiction to ZenTangle.

I am designing tangleaddicts.com to help us tangle addicts to easily find and sort tangles by charactistics instead of by name.

I look forward to your feedback, comments and conversation.
