Tangle Name: AROWS

Introducing myself, I started doing Zentangle®  in 2016. I started to feel the joy of doing each and every tangle. I realised that this brings about a zen feeling. And, I badly needed it in my life. After that I've never looked back.

I am going to talk about a new tangle called AROWS. How did I get about doing AROWS? I was sitting on my bed having coffee (I know, having coffee on bed is a BAD BAD thing), when I noticed this on my bedcover:


And somehow my mind sparked saying, I could use this as a tangle. So, I deconstructed the tangle, and here is how it looks :


Here are some Variations that I enjoyed doing. My first one was a border tangle, which is the first thing that came to my mind. I used it along with Fracas, which is an Original tangle.

The second one was a mixed show - Drawing it as a Grid and also as a free flowing tangle.

Seven Steps

A new tangle named 'Seven Steps' is deconstructed here. You start with a '7' and at the tail end of it again '7' and so on. The "steps" are the completed by just aura-ing the 7s multiple times. It reminds of of the tangle Betweed Steps of Deconstruction : This is another tile with an escalator going 'Up' and 'Down' :-) Notice the change in direction by shading.  Hope you enjoy Seven Steps. 

L's And Auras

L'sAndAuras came to me when I was trying various versions of Tangle L's  by Cindy Knapp. I made an oopsie, and voila I discovered a new tangle.  The tangle des-construction is given below:                       This is a 3.5 inches tile. I've drawn a mono tangle of Variation1 of  L's And Auras. This diamond shaped tangle has L's and Auras and includes the Basic Version of L's and Auras surrounded by Jonqal and a fragment. L's and Auras can be used as a fragment as well. The left hand side is the Fragment, and the right hand side is the fragment done multiple times. Please tag me when you use tangle L's and Auras.

Tangle Name: WINGED TROPHY

Why do I always discover a tangle pattern from bedcovers? Yes, this tangle is also discovered from a bed cover!  This is my inspiration for deconstructing 'Winged Trophy' from a bedcover. Inspiration for Winged Trophy The story of this discovery is very interesting. I was reading a book called 'Becoming' by Michelle Obama, lying on a bed at my in-law's place at night. I noticed this on the bedcover. I started reading the book again. Somehow, this pattern wasn't going out of my mind. I realised that this could be a Zentangle® pattern (😴😴😴😴😴). I immediately stopped reading, got up, found a pen and a rough paper, drew the pattern a few times, and voila, a tangle began to emerge. I was going to name it 'Becoming', as I was reading exactly that book when I discovered the pattern. But Sonam Gupta, a Certified Zentangle Teacher, suggested this name 'Winged Trophy'. It appears like a trophy having wings. I really loved the name. Little did I know th...
