Today's Tangle - Telis

"Telis" is by Chrissie Frampton and you can find her pattern HERE at TanglePatterns.com. I drew mine on a pencil grid which I erased later so it almost doesn't look like it was drawn on a grid. Dawn Collins has a video HERE.

Classic Zentangle® - Knightsbridge, Tripoli & Zenith

I drew this tile for a prompt in the Today's Tangles: Keeping it Classic Facebook group.

These are the tangles that I used:

Knightsbridge - I blogged about "Knightsbridge" HERE.

Tripoli - Read about "Tripoli" in THIS post.

Zenith - I blogged about "Zenith" in THIS post.

Today's Tangle - C-stem

"C-stem" is a grid tangle by Agneta Landegren. Her pattern is posted HERE at TanglePatterns. Mimi has a video HERE.

Today's Tangle - Funls

"Funls" is a fun tangle by Margaret Bremner CZT and you'll find the step-out HERE on her blog. To make them even more fun (funner?), I colored them with bright colors.

Today's Tangle - Mintea

"Mintea" is by Vandana Krishna CZT and her step-out is posted HERE at TanglePatterns.com. I'm not sure why, but when I tried this pattern a while back, I wasn't happy with my results and put the pattern aside. I watched THIS video by Tangle Dream recently and I loved the lace effect that she creates with "Mintea". So, I just had to try it again and this time I was so pleased with the result that I drew a second tile.

I had seen this kind of lace effect here and there online before with other tangles but this was the first time that I really understood how it was done. The design is drawn with a white Gelly Roll, the lace is filled in with a white charcoal pencil and the shading is done with graphite. I will keep an eye out for other patterns to try this technique on.

In the Tangle Dream video, she embellishes "Mintea" a bit. I tried what she did but in the end I prefer the simpler look of the original design.
