Today’s pretty ribbon tangle Angel Line is from Minnesota CZT Esther Piszczek, who has previously shared two other tangles on the site with us. You can find them by clicking on her tag in the TANGLES BY ARTIST section in the left sidebar or live link in the date line at the end of this post.
Esther is from the CZT IX (9) class of August 2012, she teaches in the Duluth MN area and you can learn more about her classes here on her CZT Profile on zentangle.com.
If you aren’t familiar with how to find a Certified Zentangle Teacher® in your part of the world, the link to the list of CZTs is located in the left sidebar of the site under the heading SOURCE WEBSITES.
When you click the link and are taken to the list on zentangle.com, look for your country first where you’ll find contact information there organized first by State or Province, and City. “If there is no email listed next to a CZT, that CZT is not currently available for public Zentangle workshops.” When you click on a CZT’s name, you’ll be taken to their personal profile page, like Esther has at the above link.
Getting back to Angel Line, Esther writes,
“I was attempting to draw another pattern, which I now cannot remember, and discovered something new.
I named this pattern Angel Line because it looked to me like a line of angels floating on a string.
I’ve included multiple fill and shading variations as well as a few different ways to orient this tangle with itself as a mirror.“
Esther’s last suggestion was what I chose for my example of Angel Line mirrored and the “channel” between the two looked lonely so I added a tiny black orb along it in each place where the diamond shapes meet.
Esther illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Angel Line below with a monotangle featuring several fun variations.
And here Esther shows many ways to vary Angel Line with fills and shading.
As you enjoy any of the tangles on the site, please do leave a comment of thanks and encouragement to show the artists you appreciate them for sharing their creativity to inspire yours.

Thank you for your time and sharing your creativity!
I see lots of opportunity to “embellish”.
Very versatile and yet so simple. Thanks Esther
Thanks so much. In some ways it’s different from many of the ribbon patterns – has so much potential.
