About Me

My photo
I have always had a love of art and all things creative. It all started sitting at my Mom's elbow, watching and following along as she took an at home art course. I was hooked! I majored in art in high school and for the most part am self taught. I came across my newest passion, Zentangle, about 5 years ago. This wonderful art form grabbed me and will not let go and I can honestly say it never will. My goal is to become a CZT, Certified Zentangle Teacher, and share this love with everyone. I currently work two jobs, one at a local florist and the other, a paint your own pottery studio. Both jobs allow the creative monkey on my back to run amuck and boy does she have a ball! I live in a small village in Ohio with Doug, my very understanding, very handsome husband of 30 years, and our two, four-legged little hairy kids, Bear and Molly. As for the name Tangledbirdie...my sister gave me the nickname Birdie some years back. The tangled part came in when I discovered Zentangle. There you have it!

Boy is it cold! How many times have you heard that this morning? LOL! Antarctica has moved into the Midwest.  About 32 below here with the windchill. Yikes! I hope you all are safe and warm.

I have a new tangle to share with you. It's from homework we had at the CZT Seminar #12 in Providence back in October. You had to find some kind of pattern within the hotel and break it down.
I found my inspiration on the border frame of my bathroom mirror. It reminded me of a roman laurel wreath so, that's where the name "Laurel" comes from.

I hope you like it. It's pretty easy to do.





This could also be done in the round to use as a frame, or the traditional square for a border. Lots of possibilities and tanglations can be done, so have fun, stay warm and tangle away!
