Today's Tangle - DIVI

"DIVI" is by Jem Miller (The Ragged Ray) and the step-out is posted HERE on her blog. I drew the ribbon version. 

I'm trying something different today with the way that I'm displaying my tile. Placing them on a background will eliminate the problem of tiles that are the same color as my blog background. What do you think? Below you can see how today's tile looks without a background.

Classic Zentangle® - Chainging, Flukes, Flux & Tripoli

I drew this for last week's Z-string prompt in the "Today's Tangles: Keeping it Classic" Facebook group.

These are the tangles that I used:

Chainging - I blogged about "Chainging" HERE.

Flukes - You'll find info about "Flukes" in THIS post.

Flux - I blogged about "Flux" HERE. On today's tile I used Maria's version of "Flux"

Tripoli - Read about "Tripoli" in THIS post.

Today's Tangle - Travertine

This design called "Travertine" has been around forever and I have seen more than one method for drawing it. This version is by Sandra Strait and her step-out makes it very easy to get nice results. You'll find the step-out HERE on her blog. I shaded and highlighted mine to give it the look of basket weaving.

Today's Tangle - Sanis

"Sanis" is by Sandra Hoffner and the step-out is HERE at Pattern-Collections.com. Dawn Collins has a video about this pattern HERE. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to draw this in a grid but I was pleasantly surprised to see how pretty it came out when I did. I embellished my tile with dots of metallic copper gel pen.

UPDATE: The Pattern-Collections website has shut down. Click HERE to view this pattern.

Even though this has quite a few steps, it was such a pleasure to draw that I drew another one and colored it a little differently this time. I also filled the squares with more lines on this tile. I added dots of metallic silver Gelly Roll at all of the intersections.

Today's Tangle - Kandy Ribnz

"Kandy Ribnz" is by Cheryl Wilson CZT and you'll find her step-out HERE on her blog. For some reason these remind me of slippers. There are no examples on Cheryl's blog but I saw a few on Pinterest that look more like ballet slippers than bedroom slippers like mine.
