How to draw STONE NECKLACE

Stone Necklace is a tangle pattern from Suzanne McNeill’s Zentangle 5 which explores jewelry-making with a Zentangle® flair. You can learn more about Zentangle 5 by going to the BOOK REVIEWS tab at the top of any page and selecting it from the drop-down menu.

This fun tangle is a little more difficult than it appears at first glance because you have to judge the spacing and size of the smaller circles in order to have room to fit the connecting bands. You could have a lot of fun with Stone Necklace by varying the number, size and shape of the “beads”, adding drop shadows, and so on. Here I added a bit of inside shading on the larger circles to give them a little contour.

Suzanne illustrates the steps for drawing Stone Necklace here. UPDATE: Early in the Summer of 2014 Suzanne McNeill’s blog was removed and all the posts and images were lost. The site is being reconstructed as much as possible but the links will no longer be the same. Many of her patterns on TanglePatterns can quite easily be figured out. For those that might be a little more difficult, Suzanne has graciously given me permission to post her copyright-protected images on TanglePatterns for your convenience.
