Creative Doodling with Judy West: Doodleaholics 12 Step Program

I love Judy's blog and her 12 step program for doodlers.  I'm afraid I have much therapy to do with this 12 step program.  I'm proud to be a doodle-holic!



Creative Doodling with Judy West: Doodleaholics 12 Step Program: Introduction I decided to dedicate a page to help those who are addicted to doodling in its many forms. If you need help or c...

Tangled Up!

I remember we used to make Isochohedron Balls when I was younger out of old Christmas Cards.  I have done this with children also.  It's  cutting out those circles but the end effect is worth it.  You can find out how to make these on Pinterest.  I especially like this one that has had the circles tangled!

 

These would be great to make for Christmas ornaments using circles in a smaller size.

Have you been tangling lately?  Here's a beautiful tile that is shown cut then spaced on background paper to give the look of a border.  So easy to make a beautiful card or to frame!

Tangle Fever.......

I love seeing how others use their tangles to spread the joy!  Here are a couple of ideas.

Strips of tangled paper put together with a brad makes a great bow for a package!   ....Or try painting found rocks white and tangle on them.

50 Shades of Gray!

I've been experimenting with Micron Black and Gelly Roll White pens on my gray sketchbook.  I love the effect of the shading.  I use the white gel pen to add highlights where the tangle highlight normally would have been left.    I normally shade in "deep" areas, on both sides which leaves a "highlight" or "shiny" look to the curves.  A white gel pen can highlight those areas even more by accenting that area.  For some awesome new tangles, check out Ellen Wolters on YouTube!

 Here's some more examples of tangle with white highlights...  I think it adds a nice touch.

This I called the "Cat's Meow!"

I hope you enjoy these new techniques as much as I do.  Try your tangles with different pens, inks, and on different colored papers.  I think you'll be surprised!

Just in time for those Valentines.......
