I don’t think enough is made of the double punctuation emphasis that is ‘!?’. Is it possible to have an exclamatory question? And if you’re a grammar purist, which way round should they go? Instead of answering those questions, I made a tangle pattern from them.
More repeating patterns for your zentangle inspired art, this time a Pretty Tile (I couldn’t think of a more descriptive name…).
In another naming fiasco when the sequel bears no resemblance to the original, here’s Lozenge II, another tiled repeating pattern for your zentangle inspired artwork.
I thought this repeating tile pattern had a South American folk art feel to it with the geometric repeats. Part of an ongoing series of tangle patterns for zentangle inspired art (ZIA).
This second tiled pattern of my new series uses a combination of arcs which, when tiled, create lots of circles:
It has been a long while since I have published any patterns. Here’s the first of a few that are designed to be tiled as squares to create a larger tangle pattern:
This is a relatively simple tangle pattern, which could probably be drawn in a couple of different ways for speed. That said, it’ll work well as a space filler or, indeed, as a border pattern:
This is the next instalment in a short series of new tangle patterns. I like the geometry of this one, with the curves interplaying with the curves. The negative space is quite pleasing as well, with a cross appearing as the pattern is tiled. Below are a sample card and two 3D versions of the pattern etched into wood.
I’ve been busy designing some more line patterns, and this is the first of a few. I thought it would be helpful to see a ‘real life’ use of the patterns I design. I’ve used a 4″ square Strathmore Artist Tile in grey for my background, adding my pattern and embellishing with black and white coloured pencil. The tile is mounted on a 6×6″ hammered card. Turned out ok, I think 🙂
The third and final instalment of patterns gleaned from a recent holiday in Canada. I believe this was a carpet in our overnight hotel in Kamloops. It’s a bit tricky to draw… make sure there is a gap between curls in step one, this is where the opposing curls fit in step 2. To get to a repeating pattern, draw the ‘hearts’ in rows first, and then offset the fill-ins. Anyone else reminded of TripAdvisor logo?
