Inktober Day 11 Fengle

Art and Zentangle by Eni Oken, CZT

I normally don't participate this much in Inktober Tangles, but this year the muse seems to find ton of inspiration in the list of tangles prepared by Stephanie Jennifer's PDF download.

Day 1 1: Fengle

Fengle (Zentangle) is not a tangle that I have used extensively, I used it somewhat but not lately. So it was fun to explore this tangle again. Here's the before and after:

This is in my usual favorite black and white style. I LOVE it when the tile turns out with so much movement, like captured mid-action. Here's a close-up for you to inspect:

I've been MIA for over 20 days for a good reason: my husband and I went on a month-long adventure which included crossing the Atlantic on a cruise from Europe to Brasil, with some dear friends. Before leaving I selected some pictures to work on while aboard: this one is based on a Gothic artifact found in the John Leighton’s Suggestion of Designs (1880) found in archive dot org. Inktense pencils and Pitt Brush pens with a waterbrush.

This picture contains a small greek artifact found in the John Leighton’s Suggestion of Designs (1880). The design is described as being a Lotus or Lily, and I made it upside-down. I also included the beautiful braided tangle Gaut (Sandra Strait). Inktense pencils and Pitt Brush pens with a waterbrush.

Another picture with tangle Amplion (Nina Dreher-Goddertz). I also included a historic fragment taken from Herbert Cole’s Heraldry and Floral forms (1922, found on archive dot org). It's a beautiful design of a 15th century French coffer. Tangled and shaded using Inktense pencils and Pitt Brush pens with a waterbrush.

Every once in a while I like to take a break and try something different than drawing. A couple of weeks ago I watched a several videos on how to make crepe paper flowers and even made a few! It was a fun week! From dying the paper to shaping the petals and making the core, it was a fun activity. But don't worry, the fad didn't last too long and I’m back to tangling now., just didn't have the time to post these here.
