Wow. I am really thrilled with this one! Yes, there are step-outs! (Oh, alright! Skip to the step-outs! But come back up to see/read all the rest, okay?) I noticed this interlacing on the box of the game Isle of Skye. It's a classic Celtic interlacing pattern, which, if you follow a strand, you'll notice is composed of two strands, not one. (I enjoyed the game, by the way.) This is the pattern stripe from the game's box. Deconstructing this pattern encountered a lot of false starts. Once I had figured out how to draw it, I drew it a few times on a tile. I wanted to be sure I knew what I was doing before I pretended to explain it to others. Tangles: Black Pearlz, Pearlz, Skye, Tipple Blue Skye! Honestly, I wasn't thinking that when I did this. I just had a tile with a blue wash sitting waiting. Tangles: Bunzo, Crescent Moon, Pearlz, Phuds, Skye The step-outs! (Updated step-outs posted 2016 September 2) Don't forget to shade it, although it looks quite alright without. Have fun! Tangles: Cruze, Elven, single Pearlz, Skye, Zonked Tangles: Skye, Tipple, and wavy lines UPDATE: 2016 May 19 Well, my goodness! People are having lots of fun with this tangle, to the extent that some are posting alternate step-outs and video demos. Here are three videos offering basics and further explorations such as ending a row of Skye, and doing Skye in a circle. The first is from Bunte Gallerie on YouTube: The next is one is from Kathrin Bendel, also on YouTube. Kathrin is a CZT in Germany and made this (her first!) video as an additional instruction to some who were having challenges drawing Skye. And one from Ellen Wolters, who has done video demos of a great many tangle patterns.
The challenge of this week is : Relax and tangle on.... I did, without thinking about tangles... I started with 4 pencil dots in the corners of a white Zentangle tile, connected the dots with pencil and drwe a swing line diagonal over the tile. I thought it to be a string and started to add some curvy lines and added more and more swings in each direction. Sometimes I added an orb ...I was in the flow and loved the result. After auraing the first pattern I decided to add only straight lines now and it was so relaxing to draw them. MySwing, Brella and Skwirl Later, when I tried to name the tangles I used I could not find one for the tangle in the middle. Is it possible that I accidently created a new tangle? After searching in several sites without any result I decided to give it my own name and to draw a stepout. So I would like to present you now my tangle "MySwing" . I hope you enjoy it! I love the story of its origin - without any intention, just by chance... May be this is what the DIVA intended to teach us? (If anybody knows that this tangle already exists- please let me know) Last but not least I would like to show you the first part of my new "project" - I started to tangle my Chest of drawers where I store my artist materails as for my Zentangle: This was the work of the last weekend and took me some hours. Sometimes I will continue...
The Tangle Patterns website has a good - and growing - resource of string ideas. Take a look if that's something you find challenging, or even if you just want a new idea. This week's challenge from Diva Laura is to use string number 3. I drew the string on three tiles and went at it. It looked like an excellent string for my new tangle Yoga. It's almost a monotangle. Tangles: Beadlines, Pearlz, Yoga I've been attempting the use of white ink on black tiles, usually not very pleased with the results. This string reminded me of a tangle I saw recently called Star Map, from Suzanne McNeill and I thought it would be more interesting in white on black. I think I'm improving! Tangles: Daggerly, Gneiss, Hurakán, Munchin, Star Map When I looked at the next stringed tile, it made me think of all the zigzag tangles that I like so much. Tangles: Black Pearlz, Chartz, Hibred with Rounding, Knase, Tipple, Triral, Zedbra, Zewm You can see another tile I did using string #3 here.

Welcome Gentle Readers, The hubby and I have been enjoying our staycation with some nice restaurant visits and no cooking for me in between as we have high-end left overs! Plus, my "consolation prize" for not going on vacation (really, I'm not being petulant - this was HIS idea - he is the beneficiary...) is a new red VITAMIX BLENDER!!!! It came with a cookbook of over 300 pages, has all kinds of auto modes including hot soup and frozen desserts (yumyumyum...) and lots of potential good eating! Not this week, though - I'm not cooking until next week! ___________________________________________________________________________ THROWBACK POSSIBILITIES Should we start a "Throwback" feature? I pulled out an old tile (way below), that I did a couple years ago. I hope my work has improved since then, so I amped it up with some extra shading. Sorry I didn't take a shot of it before. It got me to thinking I could host a "Throwback" for my friends out there, where I'd have links to post your images of something you did maybe a year ago or whatever, and that you wanted to either compare with your newer "better" work or whatever. It could be "improve" an old tile, show your old work and re-do the same tangles now that you are armed with a new skill, take an old tile and add color, enhance an old tile with rounding, adding black to the background, something like that? Would you go for that? I'll try really hard to pick a consistent day to post my blog, and the natural inclination would be Thursday. What do you think ? _______________________________________________________________________ So, on to this week in tangling: _______________________________________________________________________ DIVA Challenge #236 The Diva has asked us to tangle on something unexpected. I chose a champagne cork, which I thought would be so easy! I used brown and black Identipens with white Gelly Roll accents. The regular Microns didn't work well at all because of the texture of the cork. Even with the Identipen, it was not as easy as I thought, but I had fun doing this and I like the result! It now resides in the basket with all the other reminders of our wine enhanced (induced?) good times. ________________________________________________________________________ That's New To Me #38 - "Z" This week I chose the tangles Z-Trik by Yamit Fridman and Zeta by Wayne Harlow. When I got the design drawn, I just kept seeing jewels (wishful thinking!), so I pulled out the Inktense pencils I used last week and did some more color exploration. The color works very well now that I know how to use the little water brush - no more flooding the paper! In looking at it on the screen now, I wonder if I should do something to shade or tangle some facets on the gem stone parts. Maybe I'll have an update here next week. _______________________________________________________________________ Square One: Purely Zentangle - Focus Meringue I piled up the Meringue and folded in some Pearlz ______________________________________________________________________________ New Tangle - OYBAY Back in late 2013 when I was still fairly new to Zentangle, but already loving it, my husband asked me to do a ZIA to put in our wine bar area in the kitchen. I took a piece of parchment look paper, printed a quote from Benjamin Franklin on it and tangled a wine bottle and glass. I burned the edges and mounted it on a really cool square plate charger from Pier One. It is a favorite piece in our home. I created a border using a "roller coaster" line and used a shell type motif on one side and filled in a variety of tangles on the opposite side of the line. I never had a name for it, but I loved it! Now I have named it and done a stepout to share with my Zentangle friends. It occurred to me that the shells are like oysters in a shallow pool, so it became Oybay. Hope you enjoy it! __________________________________________________________________________ Just for fun... Some shading work including a Throwback I pulled out an old tile from 2013 and in a fit of "throwback" enthusiasm, I decided to add more shading to improve the sort of 3D element. This may not be the best tile to try this out on, but I think it did make a difference. Sorry I didn't post a photo of it before the changes. I added the "chop", as I must not have considered the work finished when I did it originally. I have been thinking of doing a throwback feature in my blog with links for others to share "before and after" on their old work. Would that work? Then I finished the shading on Narwal, which is my current obsession. After I finished this, I saw a tutorial on drawing Narwal by the incomparable Helen Williams. She is so good! Now I will need to do even more Narwal, because the method she uses is so much easier than the old one, and the result is really good. I know, Dear Readers, you may tire of this pattern, but indulge me. I love it! So, dear friends, another week, so many more tangles! Thank you for stopping by and know that I cherish all your thoughts and comments. Namaste, Antonine
I was working on the postcard swap and was playing with different patterns and that's how this came to fruition. I love it when that happens. I hope you like it and may even give it a try. I would love to see your version. Thank you for your interest - have a lovely weekend :) my postcard
When I came back from my CZT training in Providence, RI I had a mess of papers to keep track of. I didn't want to punch all of them and keep them in a binder so I headed down to Office Depot to find something suitable to contain all of my new found goodies. As I was walking down the aisle I spotted this. The second I saw it I thought, "That looks just like a Zentangle!" It was a steal at $.99 so I grabbed one. In retrospect I wish I had grabbed about 10 because it has come in very handy. I used it for about a month, each time noticing something different about it. It has many flowers and even has some designs that are almost identical to Beadlines, Fescu and something that reminds me of Mooka not to mention it is black and white so it has a true Zentangle feel. So one day while working at my desk I spot this little gem in the bottom left corner of the bottle. I knew instantly it was my next new tangle. I practiced a little on a piece of scrap paper and then left it alone. I came back to it a few hours later and liked it even more. I decided to sketch out the steps but it still needed a name. Most of my tangles "speak" to me pretty early on and I don't have to search to far for a name but this one didn't speak to me at all. My phone was nearby so I snapped a quick pic and sent it off to a few friends asking "What should I call this?" My friend Greg wanted to call it something like "beautiful blossom". I love you Greg, but no. Instead of helping me out, my friend Margarito sent me a picture of a rooster he had bought and asked me to name it instead. My friend Andrea said it should be called "the start of your first tattoo!" Cute, but no, not yet at least. A few minutes later my friend Chris chimed in with Pistil. I called her and said "Do you mean pistil, as in the pistil of a flower?" At which point she said "Yes, like a flower! You know, like in the song from Grease." As soon as she said it I knew what I was in for. She sang the whole song to me, while our poor friend Jenn endured what I am sure was about 3 full minutes of confusion and embarrassment. But hey, she has a pretty good voice and I know Chris well enough to know that there was probably some dancing involved so all in all I'm sure it was a pretty good show. So it was decided, pistil it would be but in true Zentangle fashion I had to change it up a bit. Here is the finished product. I hope you enjoy.
Tangles: Knase, Paradox, PinBawl, Pixioze Pixioze is quite simple, and develops in an organic way rather than more rigidly. As you can see, it uses a lot of Auras. Something about the tiny pattern and the sparkly look of all the tiny circles struck me as pixie-like, and there are a lot of larger circles, thus the name... pixie O's. It was inspired by a delightful design on a hotel carpet. Here are the step-outs: I suggest placing the initial tiny circles very randomly, some close together, some far apart. Then three rings around each one. Add more tiny circles and Auras, and the occasional leaf shape with inner Auras. Keep adding circles and leaves until you've used all the space. Don't forget to shade at the end! Tangles: Flux, Leaflet, Meringue, Pixioze, Yuma Some of the background circles can spread quite wide. Some of the additional tiny circles can touch another shape, giving you more like half a 'target'. Some of the tiny circles could be dots instead (see the carpet photo), but I prefer them empty. More sparkly. Tangles: Black Pearlz, Jalousie, Paisley Boa, Pixioze , Prestwood variation BTW: It's getting harder and harder to keep track of tangles and names. If this pattern has been presented elsewhere, or if the name has been used already, please let me know! After this tangle went public, Debra Castaldi, a CZT in Boston USA, tried some variations which are delightful. Here's her Tangle-a-Day calendar with Pixioze in the center, with broken line highlights on the left, and some blackened sections on the right. Have fun with those too!

This new to my blog tangle, is actually the first tangle I ever came up with. I haven't shared it with anyone except at my CZT training when we were all asked to go out and search for patterns and come up with our own tangle. When I received this challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to do. When I left the CZT training that night I actually had to go to work. It was a really ridiculous week for me. I was in the middle of working on three grant proposals for work and taking the CZT training at the same time. Lucky for me the CZT training is so inspiring and full of positive energy or I might not have made it through. Anyway, when I finally got home that night I spied my dish of sea glass and in it was this fossilized piece of coral that I had been wanting to do something with and it struck me - AH HA! This could be your new tangle. I had always loved looking at the intricate details of it and now was my chance to put it into my art. So here for you is my first tangle, Koryl.

While attempting the 75th Zentangle weekly challenge - to use Cadent - my brain went off in other directions and instead presented a few lovely variations of Cadent. For another very cool variation of Cadent, see CZT Patty Meijer's blog here. Some of the things my brain sprouted are so different that I think they warrant their own name. I'll be sharing them this week. First up, FUNLS, which probably bears the most resemblance to Cadent. Say 'funnels'. I think we owe our non-English-first-language tangle buddies some explanations of the odd/oddly-spelled names we come up with for some tangles! A hint: frequently they are rather phonetic and don't use the frequently bizarre English spelling. :) For shading, go to the base of the squiggly lines. Here's a tile with Funls: Tangles: Black Pearlz, Funls, Groovy, Knase, LinQ, Tortuca

Another walk along Mass Ave...another new tangle! The architecture of downtown areas is so rich with tangles its a wonder I am not tripping all over the place because I am constantly looking up at the buildings. This lovely piece of architecture was on the old Coca Cola building - which sadly is now where the Indianapolis Public School buses live and are repaired. So the entrance where I found this pattern is closed up and in ill repair (lots of dirt) but you can still find the beauty hiding right under the grime. Kolum by Lara Williams, CZT

Last November we moved; it was an excellent idea. We'll probably be moving again in the next few months. I don't recall at what point I had time to sit and tangle for a while, but I did, and came up with this tangle. I haven't used it much since... a year ago. I rediscovered it recently and decided to do it for today's tangle for Art Every Day Month. See the tile I did using Moving Day following the drawing instructions. Don't overthink the stripes. You don't need the same number of stripes in each square. The interesting thing happens when they mismatch at the corners. Here's today's tile. I also tried Moving Day with stippling instead of black. Be forewarned: it takes longer, and I think I prefer it with black anyway. Gewgle is in Sandy Bartholomew's book Yoga for Your Brain. Tangles: Gewgle, Keenees, Moving Day, Opus (with Aura)

This is an exciting day. After sitting on the initial idea for this tangle for months, I now have it ready to publish. First the tangle and then the story ~ Uncorked is drawn in a continuous line, much like Mooka. The wonderful thing about it though, is that once tangled, the pattern has closed spaces (unlike Mooka) that can be shaded and embellished. Once the pattern is learned, it becomes very easy to get into a relaxed rhythm when drawing it. It can be layered in Hollibaugh fashion, or tangled side by side. It is versatile in that it can be confined to a rounded shaped with the initial line, or it can break free and roam. The inspiration? The idea first came from a fabric design - a stark black and white pattern with varying sized circles filled with curved lines. Instead of taking a picture of it, I studied it and later tried drawing a version I could morph into a tangle. Weeks later, while visiting our daughter Nancy (of Fancy Nancy fame!), we sat on her living room floor and covered pages and pages with ideas until this one was 'born'. After pouring a glass of wine, and tangling some more, the idea of 'uncorking' the tangle from the initial circle came to mind. The tangle just flew off the pen and filled the paper with possibilities after that - so much fun! I've searched for other tangles that might be similar and did not find any. If I missed something, please let me know. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy Uncorked as much as I do!
