Getting ready for a Pop-up Market : Tangled Whale Tail

I have not been real consistent about doing much tangling lately or about posting things.  Won't go into details but life has been chaotic in our house hold.  Our Farmer's Market did a Winter Market and they are also doing two Pop-up Markets. One is in February and one is in March.  They are run differently in that they run for 3 days and we do not have to be there. They are run more like a store.  I try to do some different things and I have had a number of items that I have wanted to do but have never gotten around to it.  Here is one thing that I finally got around to doing. It was on the clearance shelf at Hobby Lobby.  Hope that you enjoy it.

Tangles used: Diva Dance and Shattuck.  Used both ends of a black IdentiPen to do the tangles.  Not sure that is perceptible in the picture, also used a grey Fabrico marker for a little highlighting. 

Both sides are done in with the same tangles.

Have not done it yet but will probably use a spray matte sealer on it to protect the ink. The picture is a little dark. Tried to use the flash to take a picture but because of the material I got a glare on it and could not get rid of it.

Tangled pumpkin: Free form

Have continued to be busy trying to get things ready for the next 7 weekends. I had hoped to get some tangled pumpkins done earlier but was not able to get to them. I finally finished one. Usually when I do the pumpkins I use the vertical lines as the string and do tangles inside them.  Decided that I wanted to do one that was a little more free form. May have done a smaller one in this manner before, but not one this size. I chose the off white pumpkin. I used organic tangles for the major part of the pumpkin and used more grid based tangles for the top and bottom.  Here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.

These first pictures are of all the tangles that I used around the pumpkin. I managed to not repeat any major tangles. Sanabelle, Zinger, and Fescu are the most often repeated but I considered these more embellishments.

This is the top of the pumpkin. Cannot really see it that well, but I think that the Msst around the top makes a nice finish.

This is what I did on the bottom. I just started in the center and worked my way out. 

Most of the work was done with a Microperm although I did use and identiPen on some of it. The identiPen  has more of a gloss finish.

I won't try mention all the different tangles that I used. In addition to the ones that I all ready mentioned I used, Chain lea, Phicops, Aquafleur. Featherfall, Dragonair, Mooka, Flux, Angel fish, Hear vine, and Antidot.

I am guessing that it took between 5-6 hours to complete. A little tough to really get a good handle as did not do it in large time blocks until recently.
