On the tenth day of Christmas
My true love got from me
Ten tangled heart-strings
Nine hand-y tangles
From my Treasure Box of ATCs!
-----+-----
Rick's Notes:
Take a closer look at Maria's beaded heart on that last Zentangle ATC tile:
She created those radiating circles with a grey Fabrico® marker.
She secured that tangle of beads with some Fire Line® beading thread . . .
. . . a strong heart-string indeed.

What wonderful wonderful Hearts! This has been so fun to watch! Thank you all so very much for the beautiful work!
Beads and tangles - yet another idea to explore!
This is just such joy to see - a real feast of exploring what can be done with tangle patterns. I still can't get over that you're featuring the humble ATC.

You guys are just TOO much :-) What fun you have and these tangles are the most beautiful that they can be. I drew the star you put up the other day, that was an experience getting all those parts just right. Such great fun I'm having with Zentangle!!
"All you need is LOVE." Beautiful! Thank you.
Each day gets better and better! <3 <3 <3
I cannot thank you enough for these ideas. I am leaving a 10 year position where I work with traumatized children and I am going to make each one a gift of love. You have given me many ideas. Thank you. Thank you!
This particular "day" of tangling offering with the hearts which a great way to see the breadeth of possibilities inherent in Zentangle. AND you are all set for Valentines when it appears!
So many beautiful hearts to share, the true spirit of the season♡
I loved this idea. Wouldn't it be fun to tuck the eight hearts away in little hiding places for the recipient to find? : )
these are stunning, and i just love the gold on black...
All very beautiful art!!!
Every one of these is amazing! Love the all!
Ah, I feel the LOVE... Thank you for sharing

Beautiful and a great inspiration. Thank you!
They're all spectacular....and Valentine's Day is just around the corner! Your incorporation of the beadwork Maria is brilliant,
Treasures. How inventive! So what kind of stash of 'stuff' do you all have around to add to the ZIA?
I only discovered Zentangle this last summer. It's already appearing in a few of my Christmas preparations - my card to my partner, some sentiments for inside our crackers. I'm sure by next year it will be appearing in many more places. Thank you for sharing so much festive (as well as year round) creativity.
I wish I were the recipient of those heart strings!

I love the beaded heart.
Wish I could do as good!!
Just lovely.
I don't know why but these brought me to tears! Love them!
I love the beaded heart. Question: just wondering why you threaded the beads instead of glueing them to the card. Just curious...
Tangled lines and tangles beads! A match made in heaven.
I <3 these :-)
No better way to tell someone you love them...
Inspirational!
Hearts are such a natural for tangling. Love!
Absolutely Beautiful...
These really tugged at my heart strings! Wiping a tear right now...
Love the gold on black.

Ahhhhhhhh ... your Aquafleur heart, Maria, is astounding!! Is that pomegranate juice with which you've shaded the center? Gorgeous ...
I heart these!
Stunning work... wonderful to see a wealth of golden ideas!
How Heartiful.
So very beautiful to look at, so much fun to do (or at least to try to!).
Day 10 is my favorite! Love all the designs!! Beautiful work to share. Thank you!
Zentangle AND beads...why didn't I think of that? Lovely bead work!
The tangle in the third tile is SO fabulous. I would love to see a step out on that one!
Hearts are to just for Valentine's Day. Love the beads I will have to try that too.

Now the hearts are close to my heart. Since my last name is Valentine and I was born on Valentine's day and I collect hearts ... well, you get the idea.
Just beautiful! The beaded heart is precious.
Zentangle ideas are limitless, endless, and timeless. So much to do so little time. xxx
Love this idea! Perfect for Valentine's Day ... just two months away, so I'd better get tangling LOL!
These are sweet!
I adore these! Pitter-pat! I am sooo inspired by all these wonderful ideas ! Thank you!

"I see your face in every tangle" my favorite. :)
Holy Smokes! I really like the, "I see your face.." tangle.

Lovely ideas.
oh these are gorgeous! I'm doing the Sketchbook Project 2014 and plan on doing a couple of Zentangle spreads!
These are all beautiful, I love the colors. The beads are a great idea!
Not usually a hearts kind of fan, but these as just one more gorgeous than the next. The top one filling up the Auraknot is my favorite, but they're all stunning!
Your love of Zentangle and family is alive in all of these.
Maria,
What pen did you use on the black tile "I see your face in every tangle" ? Very lovely.
Beautiful!
