Tangle Tangle Tangle New Pattern: Allium I have recently joined Pintrest. I think that there are several of you who are on Pintrest as well as I have found you and because there is a lot of zentangle art posting. I don't go on as much as I could but I have to be prepared to sit for a while when I log in. There is a lot to see. If anyone doesn't have an account and would like one, I think it is still join by invite, just hit me up via email and I'll send you an invitation. Why all the Pintrest stuff? Is that not awesome? 1. had the nerve. 2: Was sure my kids wouldn't hate me. 3. An anonymous commenter has noted who the artist is. I was really taken buy the whole thing but I was drawn to the pattern on the left in the middle. I say to end with an empty space on the outside as I found that to end with black, the pattern runs together with the next one. I tried it in several tangles. I have a little trouble keeping this pattern small. I hope you like it.
