Furr Balls is a fun whimsical tangle pattern that’s simple and perfect for filling an area as quickly as “one stroke at a time” can be.
Furr Balls is from Carolyn Coyle of North Carolina and this is her first pattern on TanglePatterns.
Carolyn writes, “I am fairly new to zentangles, having been exposed for the first time in November. I first used them in small beaded quilts and got so excited that I scanned them and emailed them to Rick and Maria at Zentangle. They were nice enough to post them on their blog, and when I tangled my first alphabet they posted that, too.
I am in my 70’s and live in North Carolina with my husband and 4 pets. I enjoy the Carolina Mixed Media Artists Guild here and having time at last to pursue my many interests, which now include journaling and making handbound books.”
Here are Carolyn’s steps for drawing Furr Balls. Have fun!
