Today's Tangles - Mooka & Tipple

"Mooka" and "Tipple" are both official Zentangle patterns. Today's tile was inspired by THIS video by Zenjo but I didn't draw this with my left hand. Read more about "Mooka" HERE and "Tipple" HERE.

Today's Tangle - Mirranda

"Mirranda" is by Aida Rico CZT and her pattern is posted HERE at TanglePatterns. I drew another tile with this tangle and made some tweaks this time.

Today's Tangle - Haamit

"Haamit" is by Annett Ruempler and you'll find her step-out HERE on her website. This one is a little tricky so I suggest drawing the "S" shapes in pencil first.

Video Tutorial - Betweed Star

For today's tile I followed THIS video by Tangledyogi called "Betweed Star". The colors that I used were inspired by a tile that I saw on Facebook. I used a 3.5x3.5 inch tile instead of the larger size that Romi used in the video.

Video Tutorial - Ornate Squares Day 11

Today's tile is from Sandhya Manne's "Ornate Squares" Day 11 video which you can watch HERE.

I changed the center design to have four petals instead of five. No matter how many times I tried, I could not get five petals to fit in the circle without them overlapping. I wonder if Sandhya drew on a larger tile than I did because it looked like she had plenty of space on hers in the video. I used a 3.5x3.5 inch tile.

Classic Zentangle® - Pangea & MRTH

Today's tile features two new tangles from Zentangle called "Pangea" and "MRTH". The official step-outs are only available to CZTs so I haven't seen them. However, I have seen quite a few examples on Facebook so I have a pretty good idea of what they look like. I also watched THIS video by Emiko Kaneko CZT where she shows how to draw them. HERE is video by Heather Hartwick Gladden CZT demonstrating how to draw "MRTH".

"Pangea" is/are random wavy shapes nestled closely together. "MRTH" is the Pepper-like tangle that the shapes are filled with. I didn't realize until I scanned my first tile below that I didn't draw "MRTH" quite right. I didn't draw the stripes to the left and right of the central part correctly so I drew a second tile which is at the top of this post.

Today's Tangle - Lockta

"Lockta" is by Theresa Feßler CZT and the pattern is posted HERE on her website.

This time I drew seven segments and it worked just as well as with five as shown on the step-out. I think they fill out the design a bit better. I also varied the length of each of the initial lines and I'm pleased with the result. I didn't plan for the coloring to turn out like it did but I think it looks kind of cool. I blended a few colors and I didn't realize until I scanned my tile that it almost looks iridescent.

Today's Tangle - Lockta

This cool Art Nouveau-style design called "Lockta" is by Theresa Feßler CZT and the pattern is posted HERE on her website. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this was to draw by following her step-out. Theresa breaks it down into simple steps. I look forward to drawing this one again.

I shaded the design with graphite and added some color with pastel chalk pencils.

Today's Tangle - Muriehl

"Muriehl" is by Martina Danner-Großmann  and her step-out is posted HERE at Musterquelle. I enjoyed drawing this tangle so much that I drew another tile.

Video Tutorial by Tangle Dream

I followed the Tangle Dream video from November 9, 2021 which you can watch HERE. I don't have a glitter pen in the shade of blue that she used. Instead I used a blue Gelly Roll glitter pen which is more turquoise than blue but still very pretty.

Today's Tangle - Puffy5

"Puffy5" is by Annett Ruempler CZT and the step-out is found HERE on her website.

Video Tutorial - Ornate Squares Day 23

I'm still gradually working my way through Sandhya Manne's "Ornate Squares" video series on YouTube. Today's tiles are from the Day 23 video which you can watch HERE. I drew the tile below while watching the video. I drew both tiles on cream colored card stock with black and brown ink. I also added some metallic copper accents.

MOSAIC #8

For as long as I've been a member of the Today's Tangles: Keeping it Classic Facebook group, I've been compiling mosaics of all of the tiles that I have drawn for the weekly prompts. I just completed my eighth mosaic which you can see below (click on it to view it larger):

"Cell" is by Tangle Dream. Watch her video HERE.

Video Tutorial - Cell

"Cell" is from a recent Tangle Dream video which you can watch HERE. I enjoyed drawing this tile so much that I drew another one which I will blog about tomorrow.

Since drawing this tile, Tangle Dream has posted two more videos with variations of "Cell". Check them out HERE and HERE.

Today's Tangle - Naaki

"Naaki" is by Nadine Roller CZT and her step-out is posted HERE on her blog. 

I drew the pink tile below first. I think it is cute but I wanted to try drawing it more free form. I drew the tile below the pink one next only to discover that it makes a difference how big the center hole is. If you make the hole too small, or draw too many rays, you won't get the triangle shapes that make this design look so cool when it is shaded. Since I wasn't happy with that second tile, I drew a third one which is at the top of this post.
