Description:

Since we are near the end of this Series, I decided we will finish the alphabet in one swap ~ not counting a Make-Up Swap after this one. So two tangles to one partner.

You will send your partner a Zentangle of an Upper Case "Y" AND "Z" on an ATC sized (2.5 inch x 3.5 inch) card stock or similar paper.

Using color on your tangle, a colored paper or color wash is optional. Use your creativeness and send something you would be happy to get. Please make sure you have a sturdy backing. Add the name of the swap, your name, swap name & date completed on the back of your card.

NOTE: All the patterns you use * MUST* be Certified Zentangle Patterns. If you're unsure what these are, go to www.tanglepatterns.com or Flickr (search - Zentangle). I've seen some pretty awesome zentangle art on Pinterest too. Doodle art is very different than Zentangle art. Making these letters is a great way to learn new patterns.

The usual Swap-bot rules apply. Newbies are welcome as long as the swap requirements are fulfilled.

Flaking will NOT be tolerated and you must be in good standing. If you have any problems contact your swap partner and/or me. If you have questions about the swap, leave it in the comment section or pm me. If you flake on a letter you will be banned from future swaps. I cannot Angel but you can get the letter when we do the "Make-Up" Swap.

JUST A HEADS UP.... I will post a "MAKE-UP" Swap after this swap is completed. We will be sending 2 tangles to one partner.

ANOTHER RANDOM ENVELOPE WILL GO OUT WITH THE THIS SWAP AS A THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN MY SERIES SO ENTER YOUR NAME IN THE COMMENTS SECTIONS IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.

I thought I was signed up for y already... I did not know there are more that one host doing these. And both so close in the alphabet.

CarlaDMG 07/ 9/2013 #

Cool that you're doing another give-away. :)

LunaMoody 07/12/2013 #

I'm signed up. I hate to see these end already : (

Deeno1105 07/16/2013 #

I'll be hosting another series starting mid August. Hope everyone will join.

Maybe we'll do the alphabet again as well.

Happycrazylion 07/19/2013 #

Hurray!!! I thought to look to see when you were hosting the next letter! Glad I did since today is the last day to sign up! I would have hated to miss it!! Thanks for continuing this swap! It has been a fun learning experience.
(Interested in the give away as well as commenting!) :)

I am wondering, how will we know if our partner sticks to the official patterns?

Also, the books that are printed, many of those patterns are not easily available anymore, because of the books, so are those OK?

(you can use way back machine if you have a bookmark saved)

And one more question, if there are tangles designed, but not donated to the official site, for various reason, can they be used at all? ( I know a couple designers that cannot reason to 'donating' to her, because of the money 'she' makes off the donated patterns.)

As the host I respect the rules, just wonder mainly about the patterns in the books and also how will we know if the tangles are from the official site.

I love these cards! I am going to miss them. will be so glad to see another series of some kind

@fawnscraft ......if the patterns are on the tangle pattern website, or by any of the artists listed down the left hand side of their front page, they are good to use. Most of the time, the people who sign up, specify which patterns they use so you can look them up and try them if you like them. I'm not sure about the books and what your question is there. You don't need the books as long as you use something you find on tanglepatterns.com.

Hope that helps.

Now that we have our partners, I have my final stats on this series:

Over the course of the series (25 swaps), I've had 20 different partners (six I received from at least once; five I sent to at least once; nine I sent to and received from).

Curious about others' experiences.

Happycrazylion 07/20/2013 #

Interesting idea carlaDMG. I'm going to check too here in a bit.

Deeno1105 07/20/2013 #

That's pretty cool @CarlaDMMG

Deeno1105 07/20/2013 #

I need to know who all is in the mix for the random envie. I'd like to do the drawing before the end of today. Please post your name in numerical order so the Random Generator can choose the lucky number. Good Luck All!

  1. Lisa Cottrell - user8179
Deeno1105 07/20/2013 #

OK................ Since I wasn't for certain who was interested other than @user8179 here's what I did. I entered all 8 of you. Random Generator picked the number of 6. I then went to the "View Participants" list and counted down to the 6th person. Oh yeah.........you get it @user8179 and since you're the partner I send to, I get to send it all at once.

Hope you'll like what's inside. I've forgotten what all's in there so let me know in the comments section when you get it.

CONGRATS!

Deeno1105 07/20/2013 #

OK.............so here's what I did on the random envy drawing. Since @user8179 was the only one I knew for sure was interested, I entered everyone and then went down the list from the top to Number 6 and guess what?

Number 6 is @user8179 Your envy will go out with the tangles I'm sending since I send to you! That worked out GREAT!
