Book Description
Tangle Tile Sketchbook: 3-Inch (7.62 cm) Blank Squares for Tangles, Doodles, Arts & Crafts.
Do you love drawing tangles and doodles? The Tangle Tile Sketchbook has been designed for recording ideas and inspirations, practicing tangling and doodling techniques, experimenting with pattern styles, and collecting all your designs in a handy reference archive. Now you don't have to draw your own squares -- what a time-saver!
The Tangle Tile Sketchbook is 8.5" x 11" and has 600 3-Inch (7.62 cm) blank square Tangle Tiles. 300 tiles are outlined in black and 300 have light grey borders. They are printed on alternate double-sided pages, 6 tiles on each page. For variety, use ink or markers in a colour other than black – the grey borders can be highlighted to match the shade of your designs.
This sketchbook has been thoughtfully designed — the tangle tiles are printed on both sides of the page so that right and left-handed artists can easily draw on their preferred side of the page when using the book in portrait mode. The book can also be used in landscape orientation — this may be more comfortable and will provide extra room for titles or notes around your designs.
Please note: it is recommended that, if drawing in ink or markers, only one side of the page should be used as there may be ink bleed-through. It is also advisable to use a blank page underneath the one you are drawing on to minimise pressure lines and protect against bleed-through damage on the next page.
Get creative and experiment! Try cutting out your completed tangle tiles and use for scrapbooking, collages, greetings cards, mobiles, decoupages, patchwork and quilting designs, and other arts and crafts projects.
Enjoy creating and recording your designs in the Tangle Tile Sketchbook!
