How to draw ROEL

Zentangle pattern: Roel. Image © Linda Farmer and TanglePatterns.com. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. You may use this image for your personal non-commercial reference only. The unauthorized pinning, reproduction or distribution of this copyrighted work is illegal.Today’s fun tangle, Roel by Judy Murphy, is one of those patterns I’ve tagged “ribbon” tangles as they can be woven through your Zentangle® and are beautiful and useful in so many ways. You may remember Judy recently shared the popular Double D’s tangle with us.

Roel, pronounced “Row-L” says Judy, is an incredibly versatile tangle pattern. I combined a couple of Judy’s variations in my example.

Judy illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Roel here and explores a wide variety of ways to embellish her tangle, or “modified many ways” as she notes. You’ll enjoy playing with this one!

Today in the USA we are observing Memorial Day, remembering all Americans who died while in military service. “Remember our fallen heroes, they are the reason we are free.” Those heroes deserve a special place in our hearts always but today in particular we honor them and give our prayers of thanks. Enjoy the special day’s events with family and friends!

“All gave some, and some gave all.”
