A favorite tangling source for me is children's coloring pages from the internet. You can find large plain shapes that are wonderful for tangling like this fish that I did for a co-worker.

Older Tangles

Before I started this blog, I was posting all my tangles on Flickr.  Today I have downloaded all those older tangles of mine here.  You will now see here all my tangles to date.

illusion tangle

The boxes give the illusion of floating amid the stripes.

tapeworm tangle

I know that a tapeworm has many segments like this but this can also be a string of pearls or other beads.

platelets tangle

This reminds me of porkchops or the plaque that ends up in your arteries from eating them. What do you see?

pony beadz

I hope you are able to see my steps well enough to use them. I only have my Blackbery for pictures and downloads.

This is kind of a humorous tangle. Effervescent disks. Remember plop, plop, fizz, fizz?

This is easy to do but gives a nice wooden look.

Latest Tangles

Cornz Tangle
This was inspired by a design I saw on a check I got at work.

Crate Tangle
My husband said this looks like a crate or the 5 gallon water bottles lying on their sides in a truck.  LOL

Furn Tangle
I just got playing with swirls. My husband says this looks like prehistoric ferns. So.......

Heart Flower Tangle
This was inspired by a design I saw on a check I got at work.

Swirling Blades Tangle
I've begun asking my husband to name my tangles so he tells me what they look like to him.  Thus swirling blades.

What pretty pictures you can make with tangles and a little bit of color!
Lemonz Tangle
 Nice cool slices of summer-time lemons.
Prickly Tangle
This, of course, is my version a prickly pear cactus.

Starz Lite Tangle
The fun thing about tangles is how you can experiment with basic designs.....in this case a five-pointed star.

I saw a arrow point in an advertisement like this.  Put together they make an interesting design.
