UK ceramic artist and tangler Connie Taylor shared her JessiCup tangle with us earlier this year and today she’s back with Jingles.
“The pattern is inspired by a bracelet my husband gave me on our very first holiday together. I have sadly since lost it, but I remember still how it jingled when I put it on or moved.”
Connie says this is her most popular and best-selling pattern and she sent along one of her lovely ceramic pieces featuring Jingles in full color.
Connie illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Jingles below and features it in a Zentangle® along with a bit of Beadlines, the official tangle Printemps, and some tangle-y orbs sprinkled about for accents.

- "A Zentangle has no up or down and is not a picture of something, so you have no worries about whether you can draw a hand, or a duck. You always succeed in creating a Zentangle." Thus patterns that are drawings of a recognizable naturalistic or actual object, figure, or scene, are not tangles. A pattern is not always a tangle — here's what makes a tangle. TIP: tangles never start with pencil planning.

Donna Graham – Great tangle! QUESTION FOR CONNIE: What medium did you use to tangle the bowl? It’s a wonderfully exciting gift idea!
Connie Taylor – Hi Donna, I used Porcelain Pens for decorating the bowl. I am glad you like it! x
Pumpy – This is lovely, thanks for sharing with us.
Connie Taylor – Thank YOU for the kind comment
Becky G – I love it. I know I will be using this one again and again. Where can I find directions on how to tangle on pieces, such as ceramic, jewelry stones, etc. Do you bake after? I am new to tangling and I am obsessed. I find it so relaxing and when I see pieces like Connie’s piece, my excitement grows and I want to learn more. Thank you for sharing.
Connie Taylor – Hi Becky – I didn’t really use any directions – it’s more a kind of trial and error… Sorry if that’s not very helpful… The manufacturers of the various porcelain pens and paints I use often have little tutorials on their websites or on YouTube. Thank you for the kind comment
kathy – Jingles will be another great addition to my tangle library. I just started to do tangles on ceramic white mugs/cups which I purchase at resale shops for 25 cents to one dollar. After tangling designs on them, I give them to friends. Great way to introduce Zentangle art. The art work always amazes them. Thanks again for all the tangles and wonderful ideas!!!!
Connie Taylor – Kathy – this is how I started up, and I am still amazed and feel very privileged that people like my work so much that they are prepared to pay for it It’s certainly a fantastic feeling!
Marilyn – I love this tangle and will definitely be using it often. It is one of the most inspiring ones I have seen. I love it in color on the pottery. Gives me a great idea for my cardmaking and scrapbooking projects. Thanks for sharing!
Connie Taylor – Thank you, Marylin
