Step out to Aishiam

Step out to Aishiam

Inspired by Zentangle Artists' Video Tutorials

This video tutorial by Emiko Kaneko sports the tangles Bireel Flipped and Taiga with Printemps and Dive Dance background. I do not have water color ink so I used my sparkling pearl water colors, but because I used smooth hard-pressed cardboard as a tile the colors don't stick well.  

Tangle Patterns: Bireel Flipped, Taiga, Printemps, Diva Dance

I came across Apple Lim's youTube video channel via an email I received from 7F5R. This is my Zentangle tile result from her Vol 11 tutorial. Her midsection is actually a wonderful night landscape, but I am more comfy drawing patterns, so I stuck to Taiga. The tangles are: Mazorito, Mooka, Taiga, Nzeppel, Diva Dance

Tangle Patterns: Mazorito, Mooka, Taiga, Nzeppel, Diva Dance

This is Twi6t with Souk. Twi6T I found in video tutorial by Alena Light and Souk, by Steph Kiefhaber, is a tangle I 'saved' for future use to my "Have to draw!" folder when I saw it on Musterquelle.

Tangle Patterns: Twi6t, Souk, Fescu

Inspired by...Harp, which was the middle February Square One feature tangle (here in my previous post). 

Tangle Patterns: Harp, Crescent Moon, Mooka,

Indy-Rella, Zinger Diva Dance

Inspired by...a water colored distressed black tile. Star is filled with Page Curl v1 and Moonpie.

Tangle Patterns: Page Curl v1, Moonpie

This is Adry with Biscus, Sez and some bubbles on a black tile distress with bleach. I never washed the bleach off and the paper felt soft/wettish and suck up the white #10 gel pen instantly. Maybe I should have washed the bleach off? 

Tangle Patterns: Adry, Biscus, Sez

February 14-28 Fragments and Bijoux

...continues from previous post with...

Belated fragments February 14-17: 1. FS-Z002, 2. & 3. FT-Z006 )inspired by Zante), 4. & 5. FS-Z003 inspired by Cyclamen, and 6. the same FS-Z003 but in a Triangle.

Belated fragments February 18-21: 1. FT-Z007, 2. the tangle Ann, 3. FT-Z008, 4. FT-Z010 or Barney.

Belated fragments February 22-26: The first three different Feb 22 drawings are all from the same star-like string I found on Pinterest. 4. my new tangle Aishiam as a fragment, 5. based on Rayga, 6. the tangle 8's and the last, flowery on the right is FS-Z011 based on Biscus.

♻️ This is my new fragment FS-Z011 on a packaging paper's backside I got buying a cactus. I was surprised how good it looked so a week later I visited the market again and bought some more cacti just to get the paper. 

   

Belated fragments February 2 & 29. I got so entangled in my geometrical fragments I ran out of days. Hence I had to add a day to February. Fragments are: 1. Feb 26 left FS-Z012 and 2. a very similar pattern on the right in brown FS-Z015. The two Feb 28 in the middle are the same fragment just filled in differently FS-Z013. 5. is Feb 29, the day that doesn't exist, is FS-Z014

Above geometric fragments are based on these samples I found on the net.

Here are the new fragments I used in this post. 

1. row: FS-Z002,  FS-Z003,  FS-Z011
2. row: FS-Z012,  FS-Z013,  FS-Z014 and FS-Z015

3. row: FT-Z006,  FT-Z007,  FT-Z008 and FT-Z010

Time to Kill 

4th publication of the more difficult quiz, puzzle 13-16. 

For newcomers, "SANDBOX" is the example of how to 'read' and solve the 4 following puzzles. The answers are at the bottom of this post in the smallest, tiniest font size just in case you accidentally scroll down and read what you didn't want to read just then.

Puzzles 13-16. Good luck.

A Different Kind of Art: "Art by Nature!"

It took my little tree on the right almost one year to bloom and it happened without warning from one day to the other. I had changed its place two or three times during that time and was on the verge to throw it out and then the golden splendor happened. Patience is the key.

A new Black Bat flower. Isn't it absolutely beautiful? They don't say Black is Beautiful without reason.

I followed its birth over 4 days. Up to now I always only had one flower at a time and the time between flowers was 3-4 months. However,...

...for the first time I have a young flower blooming and an old one dying.

Animal Happy Day

Square One; Refresher 220; 7F5R Fortnightly; 100 Days of Zentangle; New Pattern Growing Betweed Star; Feb Frags and video Tuts I follow

Refreshers

Refresher #220 with tangle pack Festune, Wavlin, Tupuk, Tupi and Earjool. I glued some gold leaf onto the tile, but using the stick glue it is a bit difficult to aim the leaf into its proper place. 

Tangle Patterns: Festune, Wavlin, Tupuk, Tupi and Earjool

Square One & 7F5R Fortnightly Theme

Square One January 1-7 with tangle Tentoculous and 22-28 with Peacock. 7F5R Fortnightly Theme for January wweks 3-4 was "any 2 Squares".

Tangle Patterns: Tentoculous, Peacock

Square One January 29 to February 4th with Narfello. 

Tangle Pattern: Narfello

Square One Feb 5-11 week with tangle Schirmchen. To be more exact it is 4 Schirmchen and 4 half Schirmchen.

Tangle Pattern: Schrimchen

Schirmchen ist a German word where 'Schirm' means umbrella and 'chen', a suffix, by itself means nothing, but makes the subject (umbrella) small. So in other words we have here the tile Paper Cocktail Parasols.  

Tangle Pattern: Schrimchen

Square One Feb 12-18 week with tangle Harp with Sez, Fescu, leaves and Tipple.

Tangle Patterns: Harp, Fescu, Tipple, Sez

Square One Feb 19-25 featuring the tangle Onba and a lesson I learnt. It was the first time I used my black Glaze pen on a black tile, or on any tile for that matter, and already on the first stroke I was tempted to throw it. This is not for me. The pen is way too fat. Then I remembered what I learnt from doing those video tutorials: It might start looking bad/weird/unaccustomed, but keep doing and judge at the end. Needless to say, now I like the tile and it helped that I used the larger Phi tile.   

Tangle Pattern: Onba

Inspired by...

...the tangle Cyclamen. I found it while looking for tangle patterns I can turn into fragments for my February Fragments. 

Tangle Patterns: Cyclamen, Ruutz, Repeat Pattern Stacks

Inspired by Zentangle Artists' Video Tutorials

On this tile I followed Ria Matheussen's February video wherein she glues a cut white tile onto a black square to simulate a half black half white Zentangle tile. I always wanted to try this technique, but it needed the original inventor of this trick video tutorial to get me going. Tangles are Aloha, Sand Swirl, Sez, Marasu, and Pokeleaf.

Tangle Patterns: Aloha, Sand Swirl, Sez, Marasu, Pokeleaf

This Ravel tile looks a lot better when Shie Naritomi draws it here on her YouTube video. I admit, I didn't watch the whole video. was a bit in a hurry, and thus missed a few steps.

Tangle Patterns: Ravel with Mooka and Flux background
