Sometimes a collection of randomly chosen tangles can create an imaginative image that evokes a specific theme. For me, this makes me think of being in a decorated apartment. I see shades on the windows, a shiny tile floor, hanging lamps, a fascinating plant in the corner, and a large rug! Tangling is so much fun… every tile is a new surprise!

This is a small, white, real pumpkin that I tangled on during October 2010. It wasn’t easy to do because the squash was heavily coated in some kind of wax. I used Pigma Micron pens, but they tended to stay wet a long time. Also, the ink tended to bead up in spots so that when it dried, there were darker circles. So, while this wasn’t a total loss, it was really frustrating to do.
Back Yard. Is this a view of the back yard from an odd angle? I couldn‘t resist adding the legs to the Worms and hanging the Bulb Lanterns from a hanger. And that gave the tile an outdoor feel!

Angles. Apparently, I‘m being drawn to angles and straight lines as opposed to curves. It‘s interesting that I tend to fill those angles with softer, rounder patterns fairly often!
