Materials and supplies:
• Card stock square tile -- any card stock, Bristol vellum, hot-pressed watercolor paper or other. Recommended size 4x4 inches or larger.
• Black PN Micron or other thicker inking pen (I use a Tombow Mono drawing pen 03)
• Black 01 Micron inking pen.
• Super thick black marker (I use a thick chisel point Permapaque marker from Sakura).
• Colored pencils: black and medium gray
• Journal or practice paper
• White prismacolor pencil
• White gel pen
• Regular pencil
I highly recommend this class as a way to incorporate a daily routine (meditation) of tangling with any journaling... I have been looking for a way to do both so that my ideas and the tangles work together instead of feeling as if one or the other was an add-on.

Loved this class. I forever have had issues when adding bold words by tangling into them or behind them. I got to the point of simple borders. I love the development or transformation of the border into the tangles around the words. Thank you for your calm affect and Clear directions. Can’t wait for the next lesson. Thank you.
