Reference Catalog - Part 8

-

The next post for my pattern sketchbook will be pretty long, and maybe a bit boring, since it should include three patterns that I have already introduced in a quicker way, so... I don't have too much time now, I have tangled a bit more examples in my reference catalog, and... time for it!
I have already tangled the bijou side till the end (page 224), but not the right side. I have the sketchbook always on me, if I feel like I can draw there anytime.

Chainging is the basis of Punzel. You probably know. Flukes... I have tangled it the first time for a tile by Becky from Ivy's Corner, but have not posted it yet... arghhh! Msst... for some reason I do not tangle it often, despite it being pretty easy and a good filler.

Chainging, Flukes, Msst.

I think I put Scena twice in the reference sketchbook. We will all survive!
Vega, Festune, Scena, Printemps

I should play more with Narwal, I don't think it came out so well. On the other side, I could draw Drawings and Lotus Pods all the time!
Narwal, Lotus Pods, Drawings, Wadical

Tulipa is without doubt one of my favourite patterns. But so is also A-Cute by Sabine Abel, that attended CZT EU 9 in person like I did!
Tulipa, Ahh, A-Cute

And also Zaungast is one of my favourites! And Queen's Crown! I added Basketweave for an attendant of one of my Sunday tangle meetings that said that she likes weaving patterns.

Borgoid - Zentangle from the space!

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!

About Shading

I have been struggling with shading. At the beginning of my tangle adventure, I simply skipped shading. Then I started doing it every now and then, when I felt inspired. Now I am following the Zentangle Primer 1 and I feel like I must do it. And then I reached chapter 4. Shading. My hope was that all secrets about shading would have been unveiled, but I felt like they weren't. Since I did not want to go to Chapter 5 without being a bit better at shading, and still had two tiles to fill a page of 6, I was checking the web. And Barbara Langston came up, with this video I indeed recommend it if you want to learn something about different ways of shading. If you are a bit in a rush, check this post or the following video with 7 tips about shading by Tracy Ann Wilkinson. More than tips these are questions we need to answer to understand what we want. I also did a tile inspired by the following video by Miura Takao. Not usual shading, but cross hatching is also an option! In the end I di...

Uaso - spreading wings and tails all around

-
Image
I arrived just some hours ago at my CZT seminar in Munich, but I will talk about it in more detail in another post (or more) after digesting everything. So many people around, so many languages (one of my passions, as some of you could already know)... and a long long way to the hotel. Here you can find one of my go-to patterns when I have to fill space. Lately, at least. I came up with it at a dinner with friends, I surely told a bit about it with my last bookmark post. Uaso is actually a kind of transliteration of oiseau, bird in French. Easy as that.  Uaso, Tipple, Corfo, Fronde, Printemps, Flux, Gelijoy, Marasu, Tripoli, Moon Pie. 15 January 2026 Oh, this is the first pattern I added to my pattern book this year. I have not worked on my pattern sketchbook extensively, since I have been doing a part of project pack 28 and working mostly on my reference catalog. I have many patterns to add, many new in the tea bag envelopes I did not add yet, many in my brain storming pages. My p...
