This is the second of three new tangle patterns gleaned from photographs I took during a recent holiday in Canada. This pattern derives from wallpaper found next to the lift in the Calgary Fairmont Palliser hotel.

It’s always good to go on holidays, have new experiences and enjoy different views. It’s less usual for the inevitable slew of photographs to include grilles, wallpaper and carpet… but that’s what happens when you keep your eye out for potential tangle patterns. This is the first of three new tangle patterns gleaned from images from a recent holiday in Canada.
Tangle Pattern: Contorted Hazel
Ok, a random new tangle pattern. This one is a little more narrative than step-by-step and is inspired by a contorted hazel outside The Studio. Each spring, it is covered in catkins and I have tried to capture its appearance in this pattern. A great space filler.
Tangle Pattern: Arrers #12
Woohoo! We’ve reached the end. A full dozen patterns, over the last three months all based on block arrows. I think this final pattern neatly sums up all that it’s been all about: start with a basic building block (the block arrow), rotate, stretch and otherwise manipulate that element, add shading and repeat.

If simplicity is crucial when considering patterns to include in your zentangle inspired art, perhaps this won’t be one of your go-tos. Shading, and colour if you choose, emphasises the pattern rather than the arrows.

Well if last week’s pattern had very evident block arrows, this one has them hidden away. I think the block works well on its own, but it does tile rather nicely with the pattern accentuated by the shading.

Tangle Pattern: Arrers #9
Another in my continuing series of tangle patterns using block arrows as source material. The arrows are a lot more evident in this simple repeating block.

Tangle Pattern: Arrers #8
More block arrows. This tangle pattern is a little more geometric, and if you are adventurous some of the arrows could weave over the others.

Tangle Pattern: Arrers #7
Another Arrers design. This one could be embellished with colour or adding ‘veins’ to the leaf shapes on the edge of the centre motif.

Arrers 6: more fun with repeating blocks of block arrows 🙂
Hope you’re not getting bored with these, as I have another half dozen!
