The Tangletastic Challenge Wk8 | Tangled Thoughts – Commitment

ree

Hello, Tanglers! 🎉


It's Week 8 of the Tangletastic Challenge! ✨


Last week’s entries were fabulous! You can see them all in my Tangletastic group, where we have a gallery for each theme - perfect for a little spark of inspiration whenever you need it. Here's a sneaky peek, too:

This week, we're doing a Tangled Thoughts Challenge. This week's word is 'Commitment'.


Tangled Thoughts is all about pairing your pen with a focus word or mindset prompt. It’s not about perfection, it’s about reflection, creativity, and enjoying the process.


You’ll still be sharing in the Tangle Gallery, but today the magic is in how the theme inspires your tiles.


When you commit to your tangling, you’re building trust with yourself. Each line becomes a promise kept, a reminder that even small steps create something beautiful.


🌀 Your challenge: Create a tile that captures your commitment to your creative journey.


Here are a few ways to explore it:


  1. Stick with ONE tangle and see it through to the end, even when it feels a bit samey. Some tangles take practice and commitment. Give it a go. I'm going to have a play with the pattern Chainging, and Ian, my hubby and just recently qualified CZT, is going to play with Narwhal. Both tangles are by Zentangle.

  2. Repeat a shape or border to symbolise rhythm and reliability.

  3. Tangle in short bursts over a few days to remind yourself that commitment can be gentle.

  4. Hide a tiny heart or symbol somewhere to celebrate your devotion to your art.


As you tangle, notice how commitment feels in your body. Calm? Grounded?

Powerful? Let that energy flow through your lines and see what appears. You could even write your word in pencil on your tile before drawing, and think about the word as you draw.


Then share your piece of work in our Tangletastic Group using this week’s hashtag #TangledThoughts #Ruby2ShoesDesign #TangletasticChallenge and tell us what commitment looks or feels like to you. I can’t wait to see your magic unfold 👑👠👠


  1. Using the word 'Commitment' - reflect on how commitment shows up in your life or mindset, and explore ways to be more committed to your tangling journey.

  2. . Maybe do a bit of journalling around the word.

  3. You can use any tiles you like.

  4. Follow the rules below.


You can create whatever patterns you like, but your tile must be related to something about commitment.


It's meant to be a fun 'challenge', so don't overthink it. It's all about playing. Once you've created your tile, share it in the Tangletastic and then add it to the Tangle Gallery here.


I can’t wait to see your tiles sparkle in the Tangle Gallery! 🌀👑


✨ Remember to stick to 'The Rules' ✨


  1. Tangle to the weekly prompt.

  2. Share your creation in my Tangletastic Facebook Group, and in the Tangle Gallery under the relevant prompt.

  3. Share it on Instagram using #TangletasticChallenge and #Ruby2Shoes, and remember to tag me @ruby2shoesdesign. 📸💖 Sharing on Facebook works too! 🌀👑 Link to my Tangletastic group - http://bit.ly/Tangletastic

  4. 💬 Share the Love: Comment on at least three other posts each week. This isn’t a competition. Every tangle is magical! See someone’s post without a comment? Please leave a little sparkle for them.


Can’t wait to see your tiles sparkle in the gallery! 🌀✨


🌟 NB. ✨ While I’ll be cheering you all on, I won’t be commenting on every single post personally: The magic of this challenge is in us supporting one another as a community. 💖 I tried for week 1 and still missed a few people, so the more it grows, the harder it will be.
