Tangle Tangle Tangle Keeping track of tangles (Now I have the song "Takin' care of BIIIZZness..." going through my head.) If you're really into Zentangle you'll have started a collection of tangles.

It may take a little bit of practice to make tortillons well but they are not that hard and you will quickly make some great ones.
