Can You See the Progress in Your Art? #tangleallaround #taa

This post is a

Show and Tell

post. Hahaha!

This week's 

I Dare You! prompt

in Tangle All Around

was to take your very first piece of tangled art

and re-create it. 

The purpose is to show that you are progressing

and improving in your tangle skills.

This is especially important when you don't

feel like you are getting better.

When you are unsure that you are getting

anywhere.

You are!

Honest.

The tile on the left is the very first one

I ever did. Scratchy uneven lines, overlaps and

all! If you click once on the photo, it should

enlarge where you can see all the imperfections

and boo-boos. And I was crazy proud of this tile!

I was teaching myself from the Zentangle Basics

book Suzanne McNeill had out.

No formal training by a zentangle teacher.

I remember texting it to my daughter to

show her what I was learning.

Well this week, I pulled that tile out and

tangled it again - the way I tangle now.

You will notice I do some of the patterns

differently now. But overall it is the same tile.

Yes, I have been doing this for 6 years.

And this is how I can see that I have improved.

That I have progressed.

If you are questioning whether you are tangling

better, if you are progressing and growing your

skill, 

I challenge you to pull out the very first

piece you ever tangled

and

do it again.

Then look at the two side by side

and you will see a miracle.

I promise.
