How to draw CLOTHESLINE

Clothesline is a very simple and pretty tangle to add to our collection and quite useful for filling a large section without looking too busy.

Clothesline is easy as pie to draw and you can play with it in a host of creative ways from changing the basic shapes of the scallops to varying the fills used in any of the spaces. A little drop shadow would dress it up with some dimension too.

CZT® Suzanne McNeill’s tangle pattern appears in her Zentangle 5 book that features interesting Zentangle-inspired jewelry projects using a variety of materials including leather, wood, dominoes, glass gems, polymer clay and resin, shrink plastic, and bottle caps.

Suzanne illustrates the steps for drawing her Clothesline tangle 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 Clothesline can quite easily be figured out. Have fun challenging your Zentangle® deconstructing abilities!

"Absolutely the best Zentangle Book yet! As an accomplished artist I used to think I did not need instruction on this art form. How wrong I was! My tangling improved by leaps and bounds after reading this book. If you think you have Zentangle down then you need this book more than ever!" ~ Kris H
