Tangle Refresher 58

For those of you who are new to TanglePatterns.com, this is a series appearing every other Friday. In addition to highlighting selected tangles and Refreshers from a year ago, in the “More Good Stuff” section below the tangles I always feature other topics of interest that are fun to explore or revisit. These change with every Refresher so be sure to check them out each time too! This week there’s a link to a new article from Rick and Maria explaining why we don’t use rulers in Zentangle®.

The Tangle Refresher series, aka Buried Treasure, highlights hidden tangle gems from the past. It can remind you of patterns you might not have used for a while or introduce you to patterns you might not have come across yet.

Here are five more tangle pattern gems and a Tangle Refresher from a year (or two) ago for your tangling pleasure. Zenful tangling!
