What is Line Weaving?

In my last blog post I shared with you changes I’d be making here at Rainbow Elephant – primarily the start of me referring to my “Tangled” art as Line Weaving. Line Weaving… Is it Zentangling? Doodling? Drawing?  Line Art?  Repeat...

Check the Tangley Fine Print!

Recently I was over at TanglePatterns.com and read that the Zentangle® copyrights had changed.  Since I had previously read the Zentangle® legal notices and was complying by the rules – I didn’t bother to follow up on reading the new info for about a...

Boxtel Tangle Pattern is Here!

Line Weave Design – Pinstwarp

I’ve had this family collage style frame laying around my house for what seems like forever.  It’s been leaned up against a wall collecting dust. Not too long ago I came across a stack of 4×6 index cards in my stash and they didn’t have lines on...
