W2 Warp and Weft
Been playing with the tangle W2 (Zentangle), which stands for Warp and Weft, the terms commonly used in weaving. LOVING IT!
Started with a simple ribbon, where I used a grid of dots in diagonal to create what looks more or less like a Celtic knot.
Sometimes when I'm exploring a tangle that I haven't used in a while, I like to go on my iPad and do some digital tangling. I REALLY love how the frazzled, frayed edges turned out on this one:
Back to paper, I created this one with a large green Knot-looking focal in the center.
Here's a little step-out of the tile:
Feel free to pin or share these images if you like.
This is a super embellished version of Plezo. I also included an updated step-out of the tangle.
Today Art Clubbers and I started a new series of classes exploring Woven Tangles: Nubia, Malacca and Plezo.
I just love Woven tangles, they look so intricate and layered. Here are three monotangles including Malacca and Nubia.
Still playing with W2 a-la-Celtic Knot, one in color that looks like a magic carpet, and another one with two very entangled fish.
Still playing with W2 a-la-Celtic Knot, this one combined with Malaca, African Artist, Purk and more.
Still playing with W2, now adding an organic Ixorus and some scattered Munchin. Love the organic look!
Playing with the tangle W2 (Warp and Weft) is super fun, forms such a rich woven surface!
Last Friday Art Clubbers and I finished the Woven Tangles series creating a colorful version of Nubia.
