Oosagi - are they wings, bunny ears, hearts, tadpoles, flowers or what?

-

And here another pattern. You have not seen it yet in the tea bag envelopes. It means it is pretty recent!

In some of its incarnations, that I have not shown here, it looks a bit like Clam Bake, but... you will probably see it another time!

Why Oosagi? Because in one tangle it reminded me bunny ears, and usagi means bunny in Japanese. Or at least, I hope so, I have not checked and my Japanese is flaky to say the least.

This time I was using more colors than usual.

The big page as usual is a little blurry, so let's go with the single tiles.

A lot of variations. You can change the form of the spiral, go concave, go convex, go angular for the ear, Or take inspiration from another pattern!

And now it is time to have some example tiles. You can lay them as petals.

What does it look like here? Tadpoles?

I see fly wings here. With a bit of a stretch. But not so much.

And here some of the Oosagi look like hearts.

Stay tuned, in some time you will see some more tangles with this pattern! As usual, you can find everything with the labels or the blog search!

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...
