Kaspah - a phantom flower

Kaspah has been born while I was looking for some ways to draw the black thin flux that you can find in Fanfan. I mean, I would like to include it somewhere, but if the pattern around it gets its own flow, then it's another pattern, even if it's an element that inspired it.

Why the name Kaspah? It's from Casper, the ghost. Because in many versions of this flower the most important part is the white space.

This is where Kaspah has been born. I think it has a kind of magic.
Sometimes I think that patterns are actually coming and visiting me. I opened a door to let them visit me, but it's them to come to me, not me that is catching them. I like to say the same also about my job, that it's not me who is looking for bugs (mistakes in the software) but rather bugs that are jumping like crazy in front of my eyes until I see them.
This is also my romantic idea about writing a story. Yes, it has been for a long time a dream of mine to be able to write ANY kind of novel. I read a lot about the theory to be ready, but I always had this romantic idea that the story has to find me. Or that it will be vibrating around and it will be "ready to catch".
Does romantic means naive? Hmmm, maybe! I am never been romantic in usual romantic situations, but in many others, yes! So, I can be romantic with bugs and with tangle patterns! I do what I can. :)

Here the flowers are not white, but we will call them Kaspah nonetheless. There is by the way a phantom center that has no ink. Still a bit of ghost feeling, in the core.

  1. Sehr schönes Muster. Mir gefällt der große weiße Anteil an dem Muster. Wenn ich sehe wie es in dem Bild mit Crescent Moon wirkt, finde ich, es sieht doppelt umrandet noch besser aus. So lässt es sich besser abgrenzen. Sehr schön.
    Naiv zu sein empfinde ich als nichts negatives. Naivität hat einen großen Vorteil und ist für mich nie negativ gemeint. Ich bin genauso. Und auch mich hat Zentangle gefunden. Ich habe nie danach gesucht.

    1. Jup, ich mag das Weiss beim Kaspah auch sehr.

      Danke für die schöne Worte.
      Ich denke, es ist wichtig, geöffnet für das neue zu bleiben. Wir können nicht alles selbst finden, aber um Sachen zu sehen, die vor uns kommen, müssen unsere Augen geöffnet sein. Und oft auch unser Herz.
