I'm a wee bit late this morning. A storm blew out of nowhere this morning about a minute after daughter left for school and a situation developed. When your daughter calls moments after she's left, you start to worry and then when she uses the words ' pile up', you really get anxious. Well, it was the cars in front of her and she was safe. All this within a couple hundred metres of home.
Now for tangle time. The theme of JARS was posed by Elaine. When I was talking with her the other day, she said that she imagined a Mason jar with a layered mix in it. I couldn't get it out of my head. I think this would be a cookie mix, and the lollipop layer would be large candy coated nuts. Tangles used: floating disks, Asian fans, cubine, lollipops and static variation. My drawing is about 5 inches tall.
Welcome to Tangled Thursday. A few of my local and online friends have joined me in an occasional Zentangle challenge. We'll take turns choosing a theme and them post our drawings in about 2 weeks time. All are welcome to join in the fun. If you are new to Zentangles, then visit the website for a complete explanation and all sorts of online resources. I'm also a big fan of TanglePatterns.com.
I had been thinking along a different line, a line of jars. These are supposed to be jars of jam, hence I chose tangles with circles which are to represent the berries. Now that I'm looking at them in the fresh light of morning, they look more like Ben &Jerry icecream cartons. not that I have any trouble with that at all. Tangles used: rain variation and culdesac, kings crown and andaluthia, papyrus and printemps. Each measures about 3 1/4 x 2 1/2 inches .
I hope that you've been finding a bit of time to tangle. It's a fun and relaxing adventure. You can keep what you draw to yourself or you can post it online and add your link to Mr. Linky below. Leave me a comment and let me know how you express yourself artistically.

Great work, Heather. I especially love the layered one.
Both are great interpretations of the theme. I like the look of the 3 jars - using just one pattern to fill each of them. I always try to over complicate things and you often can't see what the pattern really is because I crowd them too much.
Actually, the set of three make me think of Starbucks cups. The franchise should produce Zentangled cups! Might help justify a $5 cup of coffee :)
