Firandola - getting in the wind

-
Another new pattern. This is based on Fronde. If I recall correctly, Firandola has been born while tangling another pattern of mine, also based on Fronde. Stay tuned, when I will add what I have already posted with this pattern we should find it out.
Is it good that I don't know by heart any more the name of all my patterns? Yes. I was spending too much time involved with the Zentangle method till April or May, and it's fine if I do it less. Best would be to find a balance. By the way, I probably recalled the name of the other pattern!

And let's check the single parts. First comes the deconstruction.

You can see, you can use another pattern as basis.

You can use another pattern instead of Fronde to close the petal.

More forms, more patterns, more ways to finish the petal.
Firandola, Corfo. 26 April 2026

And another basis. Possibilities are endless, as usual!

And, as promised, the first tile where I tangled Firandola. It came out as a close relative of Frondula

Kaspah from the tip of your fingers

Image
Kaspah is one of the most loved patterns of mine, and Alice Hendon was so kind to post it in her Facebook group "Tangle All Around" as tangle of the day on December 17 2025. Some people have tangled it from Alice's group, some other after I posted it in the group of the people that will attend the CZT seminar with me in Munich in February. From my CZT mates Kim Witek and Susanne Mäuser you can find the following. Susanne has also the blog Sinnesplätschern  and is the main commenter on my blog. :) Kim Witek Susanne Mäuser Susanne Mäuser Here Susanne did a whole Spinner. On the top in the center you can find Kaspah. :) Susanne Mäuser And here the tangles from Tangle All Around. I was so happy that Alice featured a pattern of mine. It is taking quite some time to have something on pattern sites.

Borgoid - Zentangle from the space!

-
Image
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!

Coloring - Part 1

-

I want to improve my coloring taste and skills. I decided to follow videos from Eva Wu to make some coloured tiles. Fun thing, while looking for her I found a video by ShanDrawArt, but discovered it was not Eva Wu only after my tile was done. I know, I have not tangled a tile from Eva Wu yet. Shame on me! The first I did was a study on gems. In the first gem I did not put white only on the bottom. Several gems would have come better with black on top instead of a color of a similar hue. But I like the result of my tile anyways! It could be a childish tile, it is not indeed helping me in improving my taste in colors, but at least I improved at gems, so far I tangled only one at my CZT seminar. Could it be that the coloring is a bit more childish than I expected since it is not a video from Eva Wu? Another thing I noticed: the tiles I prepared are made of a rather smooth paper, and also normal graphite should rather be blended with a stomp than with a tortillon to have a bit more control...
