Here's the latest batch of pages from my sketchbook - the earliest one was started last summer, the most recent one was started in December but I tucked a couple of tangles into some gaps just last week.
 |
| Points of interest - White ink on black - showing that I was playing with Project Pack 6 around this time Comparing Dealys with Aura-Leah helped me to appreciate their differences Hanamar which seems to confuse me less than similar tangles A new take on Finery (middle right) and Dewd meets Mooka (middle left) |
 |
| Points of interest - Using a Doodah as a zipper - a Maria Thomas' idea I really love Ravel - endlessly relaxing to tangle Trinity - a tangle that doesn't come easily but always rewards my efforts Una which I just remembered when looking at this page - almost looks like it's knitted |
 | |
| Points of interest - A couple of delicious Ela Rieger organic tangles (top left) Hollis - which really demands me to slow down Tangent - which is a really quirky tangle and so much fun, I need to use it more |
 |
| Points of interest - Blue ink comes onto the page as I play with Zentangle's Project Pack 07 ideas Experimenting with Afterglo was fun High Stakes is a great tangle for when you need a handful of excitement to finish a tile |
 |
| Points of interest - More blue fun from Project Pack 07 - Day #8 giant decorated Cadent was a pleasant surprise Two bands of Elegan - which took the tangle world by storm recently. I was trying out colours ready for Valentangle - I really wanted to be brave enough to work with purple, but retreated into the comfort of grey in the end! |
 |
| Points of interest - The end of Project Pack 07 - Day #10 organic bouquet was comforting to tangle Sun is a mesmersing spiral tangle, and seems to play very well with Hollis. And Nana is a great new find for when you need a hit of dark drama on your tile |
I've just started working on two new pages in my sketchbook - which I'll no doubt share with you some way down the line. On one I'm playing with the ideas introduced in the Project Pack 08 videos from Zentangle HQ. On the other I'm exploring the technique known as Whatz-Its. I've bought the course (which is offered by my friends at 7F5R Studio) - but you can get a free taster of the technique (which is a lot of fun and very versatile) by watching their free preview lesson, which gives a heap of inspiration in itself.
