Wednesday Tangles


"Grid Pattern #0312" is part of a series of grid patterns that I found on Julianna Kunstler's website. You'll find this pattern HERE. I've seen similar patterns before but there is something slightly different about this one that appealed to me.

UPDATE: This pattern is also pretty much identical to Ina Sonnenmoser's "Baewrap" pattern which you'll find HERE at Pattern-Collections.com.

I wasn't overly excited about this pattern called "Midnight" until I added some touches of color. Now it's kind of growing on me. My example shows two of the variations that are shown on the step-out. The pattern is by Chrissie Frampton CZT and her step-out is HERE at TanglePatterns.com.


"Mooka-grid Pinwheel" is one of a series of patterns by Millie Galliher who was known as the Mooka Maven. You'll find this pattern HERE at Pattern-Collections.com. I had intended to draw this one as shown on the step-out but ended up erasing my grid lines and leaving off the other embellishments.

"Yum Yum" is by Tomás Padrós and his pattern is posted HERE on Instagram. I used to have trouble drawing patterns such as this one that start with freehand wavy lines drawn between vertical guide lines (called an ogee grid) so I have avoided them. That is until I came across a pattern recently called "Shockle" by Cindy Angiel and watched a video by Melinda Barlow CZT about it. Cindy's pattern is HERE at Pattern-Collections.com and Melinda's video is HERE. The light bulb came on in my head when I watched the video because I could see a similarity in her examples to patterns like "Yum Yum" but Cindy's pattern is drawn on a box grid. I knew at once that a box grid would work for "Yum Yum". Now I always use a box grid to draw patterns like this and they don't come out all wonky for me anymore.

  1. Just came across your blog site from a Facebook posting and wanted to say that it is one of the most comprehensive blogs I have seen thus far on Zentangle references and resources. I can tell it takes quite an effort to maintain but I definitely will start using it more as a reference hub. Great job! MattskiCZT on Zentangle Mosaic and Mattski1208 on Instagram.

    1. Thank you, Matt. I'm glad to hear that because that is my intention. I hope that my blog will make it easy to find pattern sources and that it will also provide inspiration.
