Suzanne McNeill’s Barberpole tangle appeared in her Zentangle 3
Barberpole is a simple and useful pattern with lots of possible variations for very effective borders.
Suzanne illustrates the steps for drawing Barberpole and some variations, here. UPDATE: Early in the Summer of 2014 Suzanne McNeill’s blog was removed and all the posts and images were lost, so this link no longer works.
Her site is being reconstructed as much as possible and until it’s available again, many of her patterns like Barberpole can quite easily be figured out. Have fun challenging your Zentangle® deconstructing abilities!
Some of you might like to learn how to give a pattern such as Barberpole a more three-dimensional appearance. Here is a “Shiny Stripes” tutorial by New Zealand’s talented Jo Newsham, showing you how to do just that.
