I'm loving this book right now!

Tangle Starts Treasures

is my newest book,

just two weeks old and it is still showing 

at the top of the hot new release list!

This is so exciting!!!

Thank you to each of you who have

made this possible!!!

 Amazon's site shows you some of the inside

pages now, but it doesn't show you the

heart of the book.

I don't get any say in which pages they show,

or I would be showing you some of these.

These pages are full of blank boxes,

waiting for you to fill-in with some of your

favorite step-outs.

 Step-outs?

That's tangle talk for step-by-step instructions

for drawing tangle patterns.

Treasures has enough room for 376+ complete

step-outs of your choosing.

 At the bottom of each step-out page

is a blank box in which you can create

a piece of art using the patterns from 

that page. 

 The name Tangle Starts Treasures implies a host

of exciting tangly things so I have included

other fun stuff in this book for you as well!

Here is a glimpse of the back cover

(prior to Amazon sticking an ISBN box

in that lower section.)

Lots of fun and storage and organization

to be had with 

Tangle Starts Treasures.

Want to pick up a copy?

It is available here. 

Need a tangly place to hang out and learn?

I admin a happening Facebook group called

Tangle All Around.

We are an active group of friendly tanglers

who help each other learn and advance our

skills.

Tomorrow we start INKtober, a project

to get us putting ink to paper and drawing

every day during the month of October.

Shhhh!!!

I'll let you in on a secret that the group

doesn't know about.

Throughout the month of October I am going

to be holding some flash giveaways!

They won't be announced until they happen and 

they will only be open for around 5-6 hours each.

If you would like to join us, come knock on 

the door and I'll let you in.

New Release: Tangle Starts Treasures #tanglestartstreasures #artangleologyseries #tanglestarts #tangleallaround

Book #4 in the

Artangleology Series

is now available worldwide on the

various Amazon online store websites. 

Just released yesterday,

Tangle Starts Treasures 

had already jumped to the

#1 spot on the Hot New Release list 

within a couple hours. So exciting!!!

 Described as a 

traveling treasure trove of tangle temptations, 

this book actually came about as a result of

some questions in the Facebook group I admin

called Tangle All Around. 

I had a lot of members asking how they 

could organize and store their tangle 

pattern step outs in one location.

I figured it was about time I designated an

Artangleology book to meet that need.

 Above you see the index for Treasures.

Primarily it is a place to draw step outs for the

tangle patterns you want to keep track of.

The ones you will want to be able to draw at a

later time and not have to worry about where

in all the websites and blogs you may have seen

that one certain pattern.

Now you can make a record of the ones you find

interesting . . . when you find them interesting!

That way you know where they are.

They will be in your book of treasures.

The step out pages are set up like this.

There is room to record the steps for up to four

tangle patterns per page. 

You should always record the name of the 

pattern and the designer if you know them.

It is considered courtesy to credit the 

designers when you use their patterns. 

You can not do that if you do not

know the information.

Each page has a tile where you can create a 

piece of art using the patterns from that page. 

You can easily store step outs to 376 patterns in

Tangle Starts Treasures.

More if some of them have less steps. 

I included some strings for your use.

Some basic, some zendalas.

All you need to do is tangle them.

They are very much like the strings found in

Tangle Starts Strings.

 There are also some blanks tiles for you to

create your own strings, then tangle.

Remember it is primarily for the organization

and storage of tangle pattern step outs. 

Have some favorite tangles you want to remember,

but don't necessarily need to record the steps?

There are pages where you can do this.

Been wanting to try your hand at creating your 

own tangle patterns? 

There are instructions teaching you how to do that.

Any time I can share a photo of one of my dragons -

it is a good day! Hahaha!

This is Mushu.

The red one.

The other one is me. 

Tangle Starts Treasures 

is an excellent resource to add to your 

zentangle materials. 

One thing I forgot to mention is the size.

At 6" x 9" Treasures is just right for

on-the-go tangling. 

Whether in an airport, a hotel room

or sitting on your sofa, 

Treasures can make the trip with you 

and be there when you need it.

You can see more about

Tangle Starts Treasures 

and hopefully purchase your own copy

here. 

Thank you so much for appreciating my art

and being so supportive of my books!

So much fun!

I've been having a lot of trouble getting

into tangling lately, and I just wanted to

draw lots of printemps.

Sometimes that is all I can make myself do.

And I didn't feel like making a background.

So I pulled out my Tangle Starts book which

has all that work already done for me.

Tangle Starts

was the first book I solo published.

All the pages are in full color and they are

backgrounds that I made using many different

mixed media products.

All I had to do was add the tangles themselves.

So I used my Zensations Technical Pens from

Zebra Pen where I am an artist ambassador

and I started by drawing the little printemps.

One thing led to another and I ended up with

a lovely little underworld scene.

The pages in Tangle Starts can be tangled 

right in the book. This would give a wonderful

tangled journey of your work.

Or

you can use the pages for art journaling.

Either in this book or remove the pages

and use them in your own art journal.

Or 

you can tear up the pages for collage work.

It really is a pretty amazing book with all

the artistic opportunities it provides.

You can look at it further here

and if you want a copy, it can be purchased

here. 

I released a brand new book today.

I'll blog about it tomorrow,

but if you don't want to wait you can get a

little preview here.
