How to draw JETTIES

By Linda Farmer, CZT ~ May 9th, 2010

The tangle Jetties looks like the old fashioned red-white-and-blue rubber balls we used to play with as kids. Do they still exist?

Anyway, here we go with circles and I am challenged with those darned things. I think I need to slow down my strokes.

Jetties is a Zentangle®-original tangle pattern and Sandy Bartholomew illustrates how to draw it here.

UPDATE December 3, 2018 – Project Pack #4. As part of the Twelve Days of Zentangle, 2018 Edition series, in this Day 1 video starting at 1:35 Martha Huggins demonstrates how to tangle Jetties.
