Tangle Refresher 138 – Featuring a video demonstrating how to tangle a pumpkin

Here in North America it’s officially the Fall season and pumpkins are soon to appear everywhere. Today I’m recycling a post from a few years ago to help inspire you to tangle a pumpkin, or a whole family of them.

In this 7-minute video, CZT® Suzanne McNeill demonstrates how to use a Uchida DecoColor Paint Marker to tangle a pumpkin.

According to the manufacturer, DecoColor oil-based paint markers have permanent opaque paint “with exclusive pigmented brilliance”.

They write on most surfaces like, glass, metal, stone, wood, papers, mirrors, porcelain and clay. The paint is opaque, oil based, lead free, acid free, lightfast, weatherproof, pigmented and contains xylene.

The Uchida paint markers are available in 30 different colors if you want to go beyond the black and white palette of Zentangle®.

Suzanne’s demonstration may be just the thing to kick your seasonal creativity up a notch. Enjoy!

Sakura also makes paint markers that you might like to try for similar projects. CZT® Leslie Crumpler recently demonstrated those here in this video on TanglePatterns.

Suzanne also recommends her Design Originals Pumpkin Patch for more seasonal design ideas.
