Stacking in a Wreath

 Here's another stacked and tangled wreath.

Thinking you might want to try one of these,

but don't know where to start?

This is a photo of a wreath I posted last week. You can see the simple steps. I started with a plate and a bowl, which I traced for my strings. Then I just started sectioning off pieces and tangling them. The stacking technique comes into play as you continue building the wreath.

Add a little shading and before you know it - you have a tangled wreath stack that's pretty amazing!
This one is on a 10.5" Opus tile from Zentangle®. It works on any size, start smaller if you need to.

Tangling in the Round

There is a wonderful tangle artist named Michele Beauchamp. She is also a CZT and I have followed her work online for two years now. Shelly lives in Australia and does the most exquisite linework. (You should go google her right now and look at images.) Recently she tangled a piece in the round and it was so beautiful that I wanted to give it a go myself.

I drew this a couple nights ago while watching reruns of M*A*S*H. (I don't believe I've ever drawn something this big in one night before.) This is the unshaded view. I hate to shade, but I figured this piece deserved a little shading.

So I added some very basic shading in a few areas. What a difference it makes! Can't wait to frame this piece.
Why don't you give tangling in the round a try? You might just fall in love with it. A friend of mine called this piece - stacking on steroids. Yep, pretty much! Hahahaha!
Zentangle has these cool large tiles now. I tangled this circle piece on a 10.5" square official tile called the Opus. I used microns, a Sharpie fine point pen, graphite, and a tort.
