Cac-Tee - Do you feel a bit spiky?

-
So, this pattern is possibly the most representative I have deconstructed, and it uses massively the line enhancer Sutura. But in reality it has been born when I was drawing the first page of variants of Felice. It fitted the botanical nature of the pattern!

I have been drawing the cacti straight away. It is easier to start with the contours, but if you start with random dots and then try to contain them in lines you could end up with unexpected forms. Good? Bad? It depends on the results that you want!

Here you can find the first drawing where I explored possible variations.

And here the deconstruction. You can anyway make any plant a Cac-Tee. Or other tangles, too!

Kaspah from the tip of your fingers

Kaspah is one of the most loved patterns of mine, and Alice Hendon was so kind to post it in her Facebook group "Tangle All Around" as tangle of the day on December 17 2025. Some people have tangled it from Alice's group, some other after I posted it in the group of the people that will attend the CZT seminar with me in Munich in February. From my CZT mates Kim Witek and Susanne Mäuser you can find the following. Susanne has also the blog Sinnesplätschern  and is the main commenter on my blog. :) Kim Witek Susanne Mäuser Susanne Mäuser Here Susanne did a whole Spinner. On the top in the center you can find Kaspah. :) Susanne Mäuser And here the tangles from Tangle All Around. I was so happy that Alice featured a pattern of mine. It is taking quite some time to have something on pattern sites.

Borgoid - Zentangle from the space!

-
Image
I usually draw flowers, stars, petals, sometimes curly ribbons. And then while training for Ambacco another of my favourite patterns came out. Borgoid. It reminds me a starship from the bad guys (the Borg... are you team Star Trek or Star Wars? I am with no doubt a Trekkie, Dr Spock was my first love when I was two). And an asteroid. And so... Borgoid! Borgoid, Ambacco, Dentini, Fescu, Wurf, Okome, Tunnelvizion, Kemistri, Printemps, Flux, Roloflex, Fuzfur, Frozen Nandini, Fricle. 8-11 October 2025 This is actually when it came out!

Coloring - Part 1

-

I want to improve my coloring taste and skills. I decided to follow videos from Eva Wu to make some coloured tiles. Fun thing, while looking for her I found a video by ShanDrawArt, but discovered it was not Eva Wu only after my tile was done. I know, I have not tangled a tile from Eva Wu yet. Shame on me! The first I did was a study on gems. In the first gem I did not put white only on the bottom. Several gems would have come better with black on top instead of a color of a similar hue. But I like the result of my tile anyways! It could be a childish tile, it is not indeed helping me in improving my taste in colors, but at least I improved at gems, so far I tangled only one at my CZT seminar. Could it be that the coloring is a bit more childish than I expected since it is not a video from Eva Wu? Another thing I noticed: the tiles I prepared are made of a rather smooth paper, and also normal graphite should rather be blended with a stomp than with a tortillon to have a bit more control...
