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.

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...

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. 

Tangle Name: Gravel

I was drawing InktoberTangles2020 and it was day1 with Tangle 'Flux' as the prompt. When I started drawing Flux flowers (also known as 'Cirque'),  I didn't want to do the normal tipples, or orbs for the base tangle. I wanted to do it in some different way. And I drew it like this: Gravel, FluxFlowers, JackStripes The 'Tipple' Shapes have become irregular with some cracks and dots. That's Tangle 'Gravel' for you. Why not make it Zentangle® pattern as well?  So, here are the step outs: Tangle Gravel, Veridigogh, Hollis Please tag me when you use this tangle. It would be my pleasure to see your creations.
