My Favorite Things:
MagEyes for Zentangle
Hello there! I think that the best thing about having this blog is going to be the fact that I can share my various tips and tools that I have found useful along my journey. You will also learn pretty quickly if you haven’t already that I try very hard not to take myself seriously!
Flutch:
An HK Tangler Tangle Pattern
Flutch is a tangle that came to me while I was drawing Boofont, by Joanna Quincey. I started playing with the idea of Hollibaugh-ing under the leaves with a triangle shape. A couple hours later, *this* had happened. The name? Well that is a lovely story. When I...
Stepped Sand Swirl:
An HK Tangler Tangleation
The very first non Zentangle Headquarters tangle that I learned was Sand Swirl, by Kerry Huen. I love it for its simplicity and the tight auras. Lots and lots of Zen drawing sandswirl. Kerry's original stepout has the tangler drawing one compete element before...
ZiraffiSolo:
A Mashup of Ziraffe and Tamisolo
About three months ago, Chris Titus at Square One Purely Zentangle featured a new tangle called Ziraffe, by Carla Jooren, CZT I fell in love with it in its own right, and did a couple of tiles that got me really addicted to this tangle. As I drew it, what caught my...
Hartfents:
An HK Tangler Tangle Pattern
This tangle, Hartfents, came to me in February 2021, while playing with hearts on a grid during the Valentangle challenge. It's a pretty easy tangle and if hearts don't speak to you, you can put a circle or a square or a diamond, or whatever you like as the...
Shaimay:
An HK Tangler Tangle
Mooka is certainly one of my favorites. One morning I decided to start my day off with an orb. I thought, let's do a symmetrical tangle today. After sprinkling the Mooka all around the orb, I was at a loss of what to do next. I heard Maria Thomas's lovely voice...
QuaSahnt:
An HK Tangler Tangle Pattern
My tangle QuaSahnt has a special place in my heart as it was my very first tangle – that I deconstructed before I even became a CZT. I think the tangle has most of it's magic when you bend it into the shape of that French flaky pastry that might possibly be QuaSahnt's...
Two Left Feet:
A Tangelation of Diva Dance
I have never been much of a dancer. Correction: I am NOT and have never been - in any way, shape or form - a dancer. My idea of dancing is hopping around listening to Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphy's at an Irish pub like I was on a pogo stick. No mosh pit for...
Tennae:
A Tangelation of Sedgling
I love auras! One day not long ago I was playing around with the fun Stepped Sand Swirl tangleation that I enjoy so much and Tennae just sort of happened. After I sent Tennae out to the world, I found out that Tennae is very similar to (a yet unpublished to the...
