Zentangle Sampler Pop-up
Continuing my new obsession with pop-ups and paper mechanics. While practicing some tangles I created this tiny 3x3 inches handmade paper pop-up card using Zentangle tangles such as Cadent, Nik (Bunny Wright) and Mooka.
Here is a little video clip of the popup:

This one was particularly fun because it was created in an intuitive way, not particularly planned or designed. I was playing with a new mechanism and just started adding pieces:
Gradually it started to grow and and grow and I got more into tangling each piece, very much as if the pop-up card were the string.
Here are a couple more shots of the final card, it measures only 3x3inches (8x8cm) when closed.

I’m still enjoying making these mini needlepoints, I might use them as patches to embellish purses or totes. I’m finding the similarities with Zentangle fascinating: repetitive patterns, intuitive and meditative method (in this type of counted design), small size canvas, portability and unexpected results. Fun!
