Today's Tangle - Sambal

I gave "Sambal" another go and this time I was careful to draw it more like the step-out. I colored this tile with metallic colored pencils.

"Sambal" is by Silke Wagner. Her step-out is HERE at Pattern-Collections where you will also find a video by Dawn Collins.

Today's Tangle - Sambal

"Sambal" is by Silke Wagner. Her step-out is HERE at Pattern-Collections where you will also find a video by Dawn Collins. This was my first attempt and I had some trouble getting the shapes to look the same as the ones on the pattern. However, I do like how it turned out.

Today's Tangle - Gardenia

"Gardenia" is by H.Elena and her pattern is posted HERE on her blog. It's the last one on the page. I have blogged about this pattern a few times but my tiles were always colored. Since this is one of my favorite patterns, I thought it would be fun to draw it in classic black on white for a change.

UPDATE: Her blog is closed to the public now but I found the step-out HERE on Pinterest.

Today's Tangle - Namaste

"Namaste" is by Hanny Nura. Her step-out used to be posted on her website but her site appears to be gone. I did find a copy of the pattern HERE on Pinterest. It's quite possible that Hanny has the step-out posted on her Instagram page, which is HERE, but I only have limited access to Instagram because I don't have a mobile phone. If anyone finds it there, please send me a link directly to the step-out. I should be able to view it on my computer using a direct link but I can only scroll through a few of her photos before Instagram blocks me so I am unable to search for it myself.

UPDATE 10/1/2020: I found a link to this pattern on Hanny's new website. Click HERE to see the pattern.

Mimi has a video about this pattern HERE and Bunte Galerie has one HERE.

"Tile Pattern #1" is a pattern that I came up with that is based on a ceramic tile design that I saw online. You'll find my step-out in THIS post as well as three example tiles featuring this pattern.

Official Zentangle® Pattern - Bales

Today's Tangle - Product Design 1

"Product Design 1" is the only thing that I could think of to call this design. I saw it on a product that I bought recently and it was a simple pattern that I hadn't seen anywhere before. It's easy enough to figure out the pattern once you know that I drew this on a 6x6 grid with some extra guidelines in pencil. I started by drawing a 6x6 grid in pen then added pencil grid lines between each of the pen lines. All of the silver decorations are embellishments that weren't part of the original product design.

UPDATE: After posting my tile on Facebook today, it was brought to my attention that this design is very similar to "Palrevo" by Karry Heun. Her step-out is posted HERE at TanglePatterns.

Below is a scan of the original design:

Classic Zentangle® - Rumpus

I drew this tile for a prompt in the Today's Tangles: Keeping it Classic Facebook group. The prompt was to draw a monotangle and I chose "Rumpus" as my featured tangle. There is a non-official step-out posted HERE at Musterquelle but the best way to learn how to draw "Rumpus" is to watch Maria draw it HERE in the video from Day 3 of Zentangle Project Pack 2.

Official Zentangle® Pattern - Quandary

You'll find the official step-out for "Quandary" HERE in the Zentangle newsletter. I gave this troublesome tangle another try after watching THIS recent video by Melinda Barlow CZT. Her tips make it a lot easier to place the rice shapes in the right position.

Today's Tangle - Heavenly

"Heavenly" is by Daniel Lamothe and you'll find his step-out HERE on his blog.

I previously blogged about this pattern two years ago HERE. I was a new tangler when I first attempted to draw "Heavenly" and it was really a struggle for me. I did complete my tile but I wasn't completely happy with it. Last night I took another look at the step-out and realized that I had drawn enough similar patterns since drawing it the first time that it really wouldn't be at all difficult to draw. This time it was quite easy for me and a lot of fun. As I mentioned in my other post, I drew this on a pencil grid which helps a lot with the placement of the rice shapes and dots.

"Art/Batik" is by Sneha Covet. She doesn't have a step-out but you can watch her YouTube tutorial HERE. It is similar to "Zonked" but not quite the same.
