Yesterday somebody asked in a Facebook group for some patterns that reminded sand. Everybody there thought about elements that can be on the beach, but I asked and the real intention was sand. Since I like strange challenges and do not know any real sand pattern, I checked if I had any idea. Right before this I ended up with some more new patterns, I will add their full version with examples some time. The list is long, I need time to tangle and more time to post here. Too much, I tangle too much. But I decided to have a post, since I posted there the patterns, and I like to document that it's me who tangled it. Probably nobody else on Earth uses the chop 練祭, since it has no meaning. But still. I like to document that it's me. This is the first tangle I came upa with, on one of my beloved tea bag envelopes. I recently started to write the name of my new patterns together with the tangle, and I like it! I must practice the thing I am learning with hand lettering. Domi, Chot, Sib...

Here we are again with a pattern. I wanted to do something similar to Keena, my snail, and who came out? A rooster! I wanted to keep K at the beginning, and I still have another pattern that will come sometime soon on this new pattern series of adding elements more or less randomly around a central element, and that will start as well with a K. Do you want to create your K pattern as well? Kikiriki is originally formed by a Printemps, a Fescu, a Mel Mel variation, some Flux and a bar of some sort. But you can modify everything! If you draw it let me know where, I would be pleased to see that! Kikiriki, Sez, Crescent Moon, Ciottoli. 16-17 January 2026 Ehm, the other K pattern is already here! Kunopia, Sampson, Keena, Kikiriki, Nanalee, Printemps, Icanthis. Toodles, Flux. 16 January 2026 Printemps, Trelina, Uaso, Tipple, Kikiriki, Keena. 18 January 2025 Kikiriki. 17 December 2025 My Patterns Ciottoli Keena Kikiriki Kunopia Uaso Original Zentangle Patterns Crescent Moon Flux Icanthis Prin...

Back with some more tea bag envelopes. Here a lot of empty space, I do not leave it often. Jambalee, Dicso, Fronde, Marasu. 26 January 2026 Some more space, again. Latela, Crescent Moon. 26 January 2026 Scenetta, Wirlz, Flux. 26 January 2026 Also this envelope is not suffocating in a sea of patterns. Scenetta, Flux, Printemps. 27 January 2026 It was a bit I did not tangle Fluxfan, but it is one of my favourites!  Fluxfan, Printemps, Sez. 27 January 2026 More free space. Rosalyn, Flux, Fescu, Printemps. 27 January 2026 I love Sunlight. Sunlight, Corfo, Srose. 27 January 2026 My Patterns Corfo Fronde Latela Scenetta Srose Zentangle Original Patterns Crescent Moon Fescu Flux Marasu Printemps Other Patterns Dicso Fluxfan Jambalee Rosalyn Sunlight Wirlz

Here I am with a Fronde variation. Fun fact, while drawing Frondula I met another variation of Fronde, Firandola. The poor Firandola is not yet in my pattern book, I have changed a bit my schedule before the CZT seminar and I did not take care of my patterns as I should have had. Frondula looks like a bit like a flower, so Frondula from campanula, even if those flowers are a bit different! I often have flowers blooming in my tea bag envelopes and my sketchbooks. I do my best to come up with other patterns as well! Let me know which of my patterns you like more! You can see all of them by checking the label  Marziottangle . Frondula, Printemps, Hosopli, Firandola, Negtip, Florz. 15-16 January 2026 Here Frondula came to life, while drawing Fronde. Frondula, Fronde. 19 December 2025 Hmm... I did not tangle this pattern that often, I should do that! It's a nice one. Later I want to practice a bit with Flutemps and Daiamo, that have still uncompleted pages in my pattern book... and prob...

I've been away for some days. I have been doing other stuff as well, yes, but I also lost quite some time on a new pattern and several variations. You call them tanglations, right? I think there are more tanglation to add, since the pattern can substitute Cadent, but with a twist, so many patterns based on cadent can be modified with that substitution. A long story. I will post it soon, but we will see. For the moment there's five pages, but I could come up with some more tangleations in the meanwhile.  I have also tried to get the basics of hand lettering, and I think I got to a good point. I do not think it is useful to post the pages and pages of letters I drew, but hopefully I should start somewhere soon to use such calligraphy here and there. Back to the tea bag envelopes. I have probably material for at least another 10 posts. Probably more. Here I have been playing with a round pattern with a big seed in the middle. It looks nice but possibly not worth a pattern for the ...

Again with my dear old sketchbook! Here we have some pages full with patterns. I have this tendency of filling every empty space, this is why i use so much fillers. I did not write down the name of the angel pattern, let me know if you recall it! EDIT from March 2nd. I found it in Pinterest, it's Hermine! Pokeleaf, Tipple, Uaso, Dionaea, Lace Flower, Printemps, Tavuci, Surround Flowr, Manair, Duppler, Hermine. 23 December 2025 I love the softness of Oolong, on top. Oolong, Zygosity, Center Peed, Sez. 24 December 2025 Next drawing has probably more than 10 patterns, so new post for it!

Guess who has some more tea bag envelopes... :) Srose, Corfo, Fescu. 20 January 2026 I would consider the flower on the right a variation of Cippociappo. I wonder if the one in the middle should get its name... :D Guess, I will make up a name for it as usual. The flower on the left is too simple, not worth a pattern if there is not one already! Printemps, Daiamo, Sciusciu, CippoCiappo. 20 January 2026 ZagZig, Manair, Flux. 20 January 2026 This tangle is all variations. I like this small aggregates that came out putting printemps and flux together. The black leaves look like a mix between flux and fescu. and the flowers are a variation of the flower I use more often with srose. Flutemps, Fescu, Srose. 21 January 2026 More new patterns... I have to restart to add patterns in my pattern sketchbook, but I have not enough time! I have not tangled one since I became CZT. :D But I am doing the reference catalog now... Probably I will finish at least the bijou tile there first. Cimota, Rald, T...

Quite some time I don't post from my original sketchbook! I added a label for home sketchbooks like this one, simply HomeSketchbook . I will probably add a Part 1a and 1b, after some time it disturbs to me that I have to look around for the pics. It is ok they are somewhere (the most of them) but I want them also in the place they have to be! :) This is a bit of a training page, but it's ok! Zaz Leaf, Blooming Kangular, Bublz, Tucson, Belkesi, X, Bracket Feather, Pingu. November 2025 Last page drawn in Berlin in 2025. This is a technique of mine, I call it Branch (or cluster, they are close cousins). Maybe I will make a post for it. I found a name for this specific pattern showing the technique because it is easier, but... it is not in my book yet. I would need to tangle 48 hours a day to follow all my ideas. Chanbr, Printemps, Tipple. 17 December 2025 One of my tangles on holiday in Italy. The pattern filled as a border on the top... should it be Butterfly? I do not think so. ...

Back with my dear tea bag envelopes! Going on with lots of leaves. I always go through phases, when I want to experiment with some forms.  Corflor, Corfo, Flux, Mrth, Printemps, Tipple. 16 January 2026 Here I was playing again with my Kunopia. Kunopia, Flux, Tipple. 16 January 2026 Here I experimented with a new form. New pattern? Corfo, Ravel, Daki, Corfo, Flux. 16 January 2026 Srose, an old friend of mine. Corfo fits with it so well. I could also tangle using only my tangles... and printemps and orbs. Leave me them! :D Corfo, Srose, Tipple, Printemps. 16 January 2026 Here I played with deformed and stretched Molygons with different fillings, inspired by Project Pack 28. Molygon, Sez. 19 January 2026 And still checking curvy molygons. I forgot the name of the filler on the right, will find it out sometime! Molygon, Sez, Toodles. 19 January 2026 More leafs! I kind of like the top left corner. Probably this is something like some lotus and looks like a bailarine or a spiky corfo. Le...

Tea bag envelopes will have to wait, I want to post this now that it's fresh in my mind. I am singing in my mind the final stepouts like the final countdown! A fellow CZTs has asked me via message for some clarifications about drawing Uaso . I was at one of my live tangling meetings, and the other attendant and I were drawing different things, so I went on drawing it on a tan tile. First I drew the bodies random. Then I drew the wings on top. I tried to draw the point till it touches the border or another element I first did it with birds close to borders, then close to other elements. Then I drew the other wings. The closer to something else, the better to get a feeling for it. I turned my tile, it can be easier to turn the tile like I did. Then the same with the tails. First I tangled the ones that started closer to borders or other elements. I like when the top of the tail follows the curve of the body of the bird. Then... It's a matter of conflict resolution. I think here i...
