Jane's new Zentangle Patterns

A tangle for Shelley - you can make one for Shelley and send it to her for wellness wishes - see this blog post from Beez in the Belfry


And now ... I know some of you have been waiting patiently for my new patterns ... below you will find six of my new patterns ... I hope you like them.

An A5 sized zentangle using a variation of my new pattern ... see below.

Okay ... Jane's new pattern "Loave It"  (although I'm not sure about the name - I love the tangle).

Jane's new pattern "Fern" - make them any size, shape etc to fit.

Same with this pattern - "Amaze"  - any shape any combination of mazes.

Jane's new pattern "Scrolls"  ... these remind me of chelsea bun scrolls ... love the freeform of these.

Jane's new pattern "Connector"

And last but not least, Jane's new pattern "Click Clack" .... I really love this one, especially the variation number 2 - you get a whole new dimension to the pattern.


I hope you enjoy these zentangle patterns.  Leave a comment to let me know you have been, and send me a picture of your tangles using these patterns.

Happy Tangling for now....Jane x

New Zentangle Patterns

Over the past few evenings I have been coming up with some new patterns.   If you look closely you should find  six of my new patterns in this Tangled Zentangle.   I will draw up the steps over the next few evenings and post them here.

Zentangle is coming to Tasmania ... if you would like to learn how to draw Zentangles, I will be having more beginners classes soon, so contact me here.

Happy tangling for now ... Jane

Curley Tangles!

I've been playing around with curley bits ... I just love how Maria (from Zentangle) uses them.  There is a bit of a calligrapher in me I'm sure!

This one has a new pattern for me in it ... See on the right hand side at the bottom ... "Fern".   Oh I can see so many applications for them in my tangles.

Another Maria inspired Zentangle ... over at Zentangle they have been showing what Maria has been doing with border ideas ... lovely.  Go over and check it out!

And I couldn't resist showing you this ... beautiful little Jet - loves a box and will squeeze into anything he thinks he can fit ... although his favourite toy is not ever very far behind.

It has been a funny old week this week - cold weather here in Tasmania and I have been working in my quilt room, so only doing a bit of tangling when I can in the early mornings.    Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Tangling .... Jane x

A weekend of tangles

I spent the day yesterday at my Mum's place - I did draw this little tangle while I was there ... my mother likes them so I gave her this .... it suits her I think because of the Queens Crown ... her nickname is Queenie ... she loved it.

I have also been doing a few more tangle cards ... early morning and evenings are a good time for me to sit and relax with my pen and paper.

So that's it for a weekend of tangling .... although there is tonight still - and there is no Dr Who tonight - what a shame - I do like the Doctor!

Happy tangling for now .... Jane x

I am still working on my large Tangle ... It is evolving slowly and includes some colour with Pigma coloured pens - I am liking them a lot.



ED NOTE:  Initially when I started this tangle I wanted to use all my own designs, however, there are some of Zentangles that I just love too much.   So far there are 8 of my own in this set ... with more to be included.

This is a little card I made as a small thankyou for Sara-Jane (see my little story below).

I used a very textured paper card and I love how the pencil shading has highlighted the textured bits. click for a closer look.

Photo shoot for my card - lol!

And anyone who knows me, knows that I have a bit of a boot fetish.   My husband is just as bad as I am.  We went for a drive on Sunday and wore our RMWilliams Pony Print Boots - yes he has a pair too!  Our Christmas present to each other in 2008.  We dropped in to see Sara-Jane from COOPERS of CAMPBELLTOWN - the local RMWilliam Agent - lots of luscious boots and stuff.

Sara-Jane is a great saleswoman, patient, helpful and nothing is too much trouble.   You can see that she has a pair of pony print boots as well - so we got a picture.    They are very Zentangle-ish I think!  I have also added a pony print style duffle bag to my collection ... no pic though.

Happy Tangling for now....Jane x
