Video Tutorial - Nidhi Prakash Mandala 97


I followed THIS "Mandala 97" video by Nidhi Prakash. This is drawn on a 6x6 inch tile. I used colored pencils and a metallic gold gel pen. I smoothed the colored pencil with odorless mineral spirits.

Today's Tangle - Puppyhugs


"Puppyhugs" is featured in the Zentangle Project Pack 23, Day 2 video which you can watch HERE. "Puppyhugs" is a combination of the tangles "Cadent" and "Huggins". I suspect that the "Puppy" part of the name comes from "Cadent" being similar to a Houndstooth pattern. "Hugs" is obviously from "Huggins". As far as I know, they haven't published a step-out for this tangle which they said is usually drawn in a grid. I might give that a try to see how it would look in that format.

I don't have the project pack but you can get information about Project Pack 23 HERE. The step-outs for "Cadent" and "Huggins" are posted HERE and HERE.
