Tea Bag Envelopes - Part 54

-
Ok, I am keeping in track with posting now that we are around Easter. Will I keep on?
I must have at least other 80 tangled tea bag envelopes in the queue. If I do one a day, no exception, keeping into account that I will also tangle, I could make it in a month or so. Will April be a dense post month? Susi says that tea bag envelopes are my signature! So I should focus there!

I am also trying to organise a bit the blog. I did a What is Zentangle page, and plan to add another couple. Probably the most needed is how to navigate this blog, since there is some kind of organisation, but it is not so clear. This blog ends up as an archive for myself, but it should also be a bit user friendly, right? :D 

Back to this page! Here I am playing with spirals, Ibex, Fescu. Nothing worth new patterns, I would say.

Here instead I see new pattern here!

The rombus thing here became a kite! I will not make a pattern out of the air balloons... for the moment. Maybe I will come up with a better one later!

And here we have the first All Dent, a crazy one to be precise. You cannot see it because if you fill all reticula with fragment the shape kind of disappears. This is why in the next posts you will see reticula made out of All Dent and variation patterns where several sections are not filled with any pattern or fragment.

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...
