Here’s a fun, interesting and easy tangle pattern for you to start off the week. Beth Snoderly’s Neuron might also be a good candidate for tangling the margins of meeting notes as you don’t really need steps to refer to. Did you know that tangling during meetings (or during school classes) is a great way to pay attention? Seriously.
Beth writes that the inspiration for Neuron came from a candle holder with “a mosaic-like pattern. I added the ‘beads’ for interest.” Beth recently shared her Waft tangle with us.
Neuron starts out like Cracked with simple crisscrossing curved and straight lines and then you randomly add fills and beads, either with your Micron or your shading pencil. The Zen in this tangle comes in allowing your intuition to guide you in placing the fills (solid or otherwise) and beads. Beth suggests you can also vary the shape of the “beads” you add to this tangle.
Here are Beth’s step-by-step instructions for drawing Neuron and a completed monotangle Zentangle® featuring this tangle.

That is so cool! Looks like you could make it into a stained glass ornament.

Just loving my new 2013 Tangle Guide. Thank you so much.
Love this one! Nice and easy to do, and very effective with the fills and shading – nice contrast.

Excellent. love it.
Thanks everybody! I was so excited to see it up today!
This is a great tangle, almost a never ending idea, could do diamonds, crosses, instead of dots. Thanks for sharing and I will be doing this in my next tangled work. Peggie Australia
