Tangle Your Opus Tile

Tips for Tangling Your Opus

Make it meditative, take your time, don’t have any limits of how many patterns you should do. Stay in the moment, relax and have fun. Do not have a deadline on when to complete it. Keep it out on a table and do a little bit every day or whenever you feel like it. If going on vacation, you may want to bring an Opus Tile with you and just work on that one tile while you are away. I’ve done this with my trips to Florida and Nantucket. So whenever I look at them, I think of the relaxing time I had at those places.

Tips for Getting Started on Your Opus Tile

First draw a string, just like you would on a basic tile, except you are going to draw a lot more and much bigger. Shoot for around 10 sections. Don’t think about it. Just follow your intuition, staying in the present moment and not thinking about the outcome. Take a minute now and do that. Just focus on the string, nothing else. Give yourself the freedom to be as creative as you want to be. Once you get the string down, you are ready to tangle one section. Pick any section and then ask yourself, “what pattern do I feel like drawing” and start to draw it. Now you are on your way!

Serenity Opus First Ever Feb 2015

Draw a String, Draw a Pattern, Repeat May 2015

Draw a String, Draw a Pattern, Repeat May 2015

I was nervous just like many of you to start my very first Opus Tile. I remember it like it was yesterday. Sitting outside at a hotel cafe overlooking the harbor. The very first pattern I did was an error, but you can't tell, can you?  I’ve received so many compliments on that pattern and to me it’s a huge screw up. This is one of our greatest fears of starting an Opus Tile. There are so many imperfections on this tile, but not noticeable. Let go of your fears, let go of the outcome, and go slow.

Draw a String, Draw a Pattern, Repeat May 2015

Draw a String, Draw a Pattern, Repeat May 2015

Draw a String, Draw a Pattern, Repeat May 2015

For this all day Opus Class I first decided on the patterns I was going to teach. Then I decided on how many sections we needed. I guided the class on drawing the strings/sections. We did not draw all sections at once like we do on a smaller tile. I started with a corner and then guided them through the pattern to fill in that section.  

Corner Flow Summer 2015

Draw a String, Draw a Pattern, Repeat May 2015

Corner Flow Summer 2015

I drew the string for all sections, first all starting from the bottom left corner of the tile. Not knowing how many sections I would draw. Then started to draw each section, not having a plan in mind, not knowing what tangle patterns I was going to draw. I totally relaxed into each one sitting outside at a picnic table on the Island of Nantucket. I did a little bit whenever I felt like it. When I look at these tiles framed on my wall I’m reminded of my peaceful & fun getaways. 

Gridiculous Oct 2015

Patterns Behind Oct 2016

Corner Flow Summer 2015

This one is from class I took from  CZT Cari Camarra at ConnTangle and later taught it to students using the grid template. But all you really need is a ruler to create the even squares.  It's a lot of fun to use only grid patterns on a tile. For this one, I only used 8 patterns and then duplicated them in the reverse direction for the last two rows.

Heart Dec 2015

Patterns Behind Oct 2016

Patterns Behind Oct 2016

I did this one on my own in preparation for a class to teach.  First I traced the heart in the middle, then drew the string around the heart. I chose patterns that I love to draw.

Patterns Behind Oct 2016

Patterns Behind Oct 2016

Patterns Behind Oct 2016

First I traced the butterfly, then drew the string behind the butterfly. Keeping the same patterns on both sides as if the patterns were continuing behind.

Curvy Theme Dec 2016

Circle of Heart Jan 2016

Heart Center Dec 2016

I chose to make all string sections curvy with patterns intertwining. I drew the string first of all sections, not knowing how many sections I would draw. Then started to draw each section, not having a plan, not knowing what tangle patterns I was going to draw. Did this while vacationing in Florida for a month and took about a month to complete. I left it out on the table and did a little bit whenever I felt like it.  

Heart Center Dec 2016

Circle of Heart Jan 2016

Heart Center Dec 2016

I worked from the center out. Traced a heart cutout, then gave it inside auras. Drew strings from the outside heart border to the edges.

Circle of Heart Jan 2016

Circle of Heart Jan 2016

Opus Express June 2016

Wavy Intertwined Oct 2017

Circle of Heart Jan 2016

I tried to create a design that could be finished in a two hour class, but that did not happen. We got a lot done, but they still needed to be finished on their own.  We started from the center and worked our way out.  The border was the last to do in class. 

Bijou Hearts Nov 2016

Wavy Intertwined Oct 2017

Full Day Class.


Step 1: Draw your dots in each corner. Connect the dots creating a border.

Step 2: Draw one section/string. Preferably starting with a corner.

Step 3: Fill in that corner section with a pattern.

Step 3: Draw another string either from the one you just tangled or in another corner.

Step 4: Fill in that string section you just drew with another pattern.

Continue drawing string/sections and filing in with patterns as you go.

There are around 11 patterns/sections in this tile and we were able to complete it in a full day class.

I suggest doing the shading at the very end rather than as you go. Or you can mix it up. For example, half way through the day you can break it up and do some shading before starting up the patterns again.

Heart or Circle

Wavy Intertwined

Draw a String, Draw a Pattern, Repeat

Full Day Class.


Step 1: Start out the way we typically do on a basic tile by drawing the dots in the corners and connecting the dots to create a border with your pencil.

Step 2: Trace the Shape in the Middle (Heart or Circle).

Step 3: Trace the smaller shape in the middle of that shape (optional).

Step 4: Draw a string from the edges of the larger shape towards the edges of the border.

Step 5: Pick one section, and guide your students through that section with the pattern of your choice. You may want to show them two or three at a time, so that they can move on at their own pace.

Step 6: Save the border for last. Tangle the border.

Step 7: Once the border is done, guide them to shade some or all of the patterns.
