Day One: a touch of ancient Greece for this one. I started playing with triangles as I don’t think there are enough triangle-based tangle patterns out there… filling in the gaps led me to this geometric pattern.
Tomorrow’s tangle pattern: ‘Zigazigah’.
This is a pattern based on the stone and flint work that forms part of the tower to Holt Methodist Church in Norfolk.
This tangle pattern is named after the stretch of the River Soar that runs through Leicester. The embankment was renovated some years ago, and incorporated new railings containing this pattern. I’ve included my photo of them below. I also declare this to be my 50th tangle pattern!
I developed this tangle pattern playing with ways of connecting corners of a set of squares in a grid. The name comes from combining Flowers with Squares.
Completely off the wall creativity here – not sure where this one came from at all! 100% original pattern. Hopefully you can see it’s based on padlocks and keyholes…
This tangle pattern was inspired from some of the iron work supporting the benches on Cromer pier.
An original pattern born from doodles while running in a new fountain pen. I’ve used the pen for the black lines and can now recommend Noodler’s Bulletproof Black Ink and a medium nib fountain pen for zentangling. Just be sure to beware of smudging…
Bit of a ying yang thing going on with this one. Starting with the simple ‘S’, join the top of one to the bottom of the S on the row below – it helps if the curves finish on the right angle (about 60 degrees?). Shading a bit tricky, but choose one to fill in and follow the space round.
So simple I’m sure someone else has done it already… Lots of variations possible on this one, two of which I’ve popped on the pattern for your consideration.
I think this one is a bit of a retro pattern, but the steps are all mine. It could almost be Curly Braces Five!
