Time to Rest & 2 New Tangles: GREEKA and FORTUNA

Hellooo!

After all these busy months it's time for me to rest a bit.

In a few days my family will be reunited for the holidays, so I am decluttering and cleaning my home, but I had also found some time to draw. :)

Here are some of my new pieces.

(I have found some pretty cool sketchbooks in a store called TIGER.  The paper is good for pencils, ink and even light watercolor. And the price is soooooo cheap!!!)

Alchechengi (Winter Cherry)

I am still obsessed with gems!

I made these using my tangle pattern LEAFHEART (click for stepout)

Tangle Mandala

My patterns: ZEE and KLOOD

both stepouts in Tangle It! Planner

From the same book I want to share with you one of my new patterns:  

GREEKA

Have you already created your holidays gift tags/cards?

If not, here is the stepout of my holiday tangle FORTUNA!

In Italian Fortuna means Luck.

And Luck I wish you for 2016!

Happy Holidays!!

Holidays Shopping Idea #5: TANGLE IT! PRACTICE BOOK (2 versions)

And here is our last surprise for this AMAZINGLY CREATIVE 2015!

An Ina wrote: "All three of us were missing a book that allows us to record step by step instructions for patterns and a place to practice. We love tangling, however individual tiles are easily lost. When we realized that each of us use a journal to organize, practice, and store tiles, we decided to create “the perfect book for tanglers”. A place where we have it all: record step outs AND lots of room to tangle. Our combined experience produced this lovely Practice Book".

So, here it is (AND in 2 versions!!)

TANGLE IT! PRACTICE BOOK

• store 256 step outs,
• tangle 240 blank squares, and work with
• 144 pre-strung tiles.

We included a basic introduction to tangling, shading, and creating strings, plus a few interesting topics to inspire you.

This book is available in 2 versions: black & white and full color (deluxe). 

The Deluxe Edition on the right is in full color and the paper is thicker.

The Black & White Editions contains only Black and White pages.

I hope you will enjoy them as we did!

Have a great weekend!

Holidays Shopping Idea #1

Helloooo!

It's Xmas/Yule time! 

Have you already bought your gifts?

This month I am going to write a bunch of posts to introduce you to some new items in the tangle and spiritual world.

As many of you already know, this year I have been busy with the making of a collab interactive book called

TANGLE IT! JOURNAL 

It has been such a wonderful adventure collaborating with ALICE HENDON and INA SONNENMOSER!

And what a surprise when our book ranked among the first 10 in category on Amazon for a whole month! 

I am so GRATEFUL for this success!! It goes beyond my wildest dreams!

I have been struggling with unemployment for almost two years until I realized that if nobody offered me a job I had to create one.

 So, now I am proud to call myself an INDIE AUTHOR.

^___^

This year, if you are looking for a fun book for all ages, this is the book for you! 

Read what customers wrote:

Carla Szczuka: 

"I got my book today. It is a very good size for a purse or bag. I looked through the whole book and it reminds me of a puzzle book with all kinds of activities.. This book has something for everyone, and depending on your day, there is literally something to fit your mood. There are new tangles to try, suggestions for strings, pages to color, challenges and so much more. There is lots of space in the book for you to try tangling on. This would make a good present for beginners to introduce someone to tangling."

PamelasKindle:

"This book is exceptional. It is not only perfect for doodlers and those new to zentangle it is perfect in its simplicity. It would make the perfect gift to anyone of any age who enjoys to doodle around. I find zentangle a very stress relieving hobby but with this book it adds fun and creativity to my activity. Best doodle journal I have found on the market."

Have a great week!
