I've heard that doing crosswords puzzles exercises you brain. I say, doing Tracy Anne's tangles is the Real brain exercise! whew! (only had to watch this about 5 times.....and I love it!
normally I just watch a few minutes of these instructional videos and then do my own thing. But this I had to watch all the way through first. I like how she is doing the hard part in real time, mostly. No rush and her calming voice…not to mention the familiar accent instead of the more abrasive ones from parts of the northern hemisphere is a relief.
Thank you so much Tracy Anne, I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and awesome Tangle. Thank you so much for sharing this Modus Operandus with Ustinov. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
I really enjoyed watching you create these beautiful tiles. I gravitate more toward pastel pencils than waxy colored pencils myself, so it's nice to see how you use them.
How do you work with pastel pencils? Do you find that they smear? If so what do you use to prevent this? Do you need to use a fixative when finished coloring? What brand do you recommend? I am asking because I have been afraid to use them. Thanks for your help.
@@ellenjampole1905 Pastel pencils are basically colored chalk encased in wood. When I use them for tangling, I use them very lightly because I want to tint my design, not cover up my inking. Their advantage is that they blend very easily and quickly with a tortillion. They also erase pretty cleanly with a kneaded eraser. I usually tangle in my sketchbooks, rather than on tiles, so my work isn't handled much and unintentional smearing isn't a problem for me. If you want to add a little protection, you may use a light spray of workable "odorless" fixative, preferably outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. (I've considered whether hairspray would also work, but haven't tried it.) 😉 As for brands, in my stash, I mostly see Stabilo CarbOthellos I've had since the 1980s and a few Bruynzeel. I also have a couple of General's chalk pencils that I got with a Zentangle project pack. I usually shop online at www.DickBlick.com, and they sell both individual pencils and sets. You can get a set of twelve for under US$20 or pick a few colors you like for as little as $1.71 each. BTW, thanks for asking this question -- while rummaging in my studio I found a set of Faber-Castell Pitt pencils I put away and forgot I had! LOL
Hi Tracy Beautiful tangle with pastel. My friend has just introduced me to pastel pencils. Not used to it. Listening to your tips on using them is helpful. I will try out soon. Thanks.
Hola , te sigo por TH-cam y por Facebook, y hago los ejercicios, pero el compás se me da regular y en este vídeo he visto que el papel lo pones encima de una hoja , me podrías decir que significa y donde me la puedo descargar para imprimirla . Creo que me resultaría útil. Y el papel de que color es porque el que yo tengo es demasiado blanco no no se percibe bien los blancos. Gracias de antemano .

Wow, Miss Tracy Anne, that one is a brain-twister! Thank you for explaining it so well to make it do-able!
Thank you Deb! I played with it for a while until it was clear in my head so that I could demonstrate it in a way others could follow.

Thank you! Yes, I’m enjoying the pastel pencils. I ordered a bigger set for myself for Christmas (ha ha!) They are a lot quicker than wax pencils too!

You should be also teaching people how to make good instructional videos. I am going to master this pattern even if it kills me.
Thank you Robyn! Take your time… you can do it!
