Wrap and Bridge Video Class

This video recorded class is available at my online shop here. This black and white project class explores the Wrap and Bridge style, something of my own invention where you wrap a couple of string sections forming cones and cylinders.

To You Tangle 2023 Flux

Here's my second contribution to the To You Tangle 2023 using Flux. I had been recently exploring ways to make Flux more 3D through the use of contour lines, so this was the perfect opportunity to explore this.

Wyfore Hybrid Monotangle
Wyfore Hybrid Monotangle

These days I'm pretty obsessed with Wyfore, creating all kinds of tangleations and hybrid versions. Here I used also gray pens (dark and light gray) to form the background and the stripes.

Turtle-inspired Bucky Mandala
Turtle-inspired Bucky Mandala

During my recent vacation I was inspired by turtles to use the tangle Bucky. This is a tangle I haven't used very much at all, and it was fun to play with the fragment, which is quite beautiful.

Berries and Medusa
Berries and Medusa

In this picture I used a Donut string with tangles Fishskirt, Bronx Cheer Berry, Medusa (Tomas Padros) and a little Damsel Leaf (Annett Ruempler). Turned out pretty fun and rather unusual. I love the shading of it!

Practicing Medusa
Practicing Medusa

I think we are all a little in love with Tomàs Padro's new tangle Medusa. Here I'm posting two simple tiles where I explored the shading and different ways to construct the underlying ogee grid. I suspect Medusa is going to appear more in my work very soon!

Wartz Sinkholes and more

I had a blast making these two pieces combining Wartz (Genevieve Crabe) with Sinkhole and Spherify! The Art Raffle gave me this difficult combination, but it was a fun experiment and I'm super happy with it.

Hollis on Triangle
Hollis on Triangle

Two pieces with Hollis over a triangular string, sprouting from a fancy triangular fragment. One of them also plays with 3D cuffs over Wyfore. Fun!

Yesterday I taught Art Clubbers how to create this lovely spiral bouquet using Eofer (Iris Heidt), Bronx Cheer, and also a Coiled Berry tangleation of Diva Dance. I had a great time shading this 3-dimensionally.

Wyfore in a Triangle
Wyfore in a Triangle

Last week Art Clubbers and I had a Tangle Play session including Wyfore - where we explore tangles and make index cards - and I decided to combine it with Drawings over a triangular string. Very fun to play with!

Drawings and Mysealiam

I’m still incredibly inspired by project pack 20. In these images I combined Drawings and Myseliam (and some other stuff too). Can't get enough of these Blossom tangles.

Tree of Life
Tree of Life

A Tree of Life is a widely adopted symbol of knowledge and life. Here I used a twisted Diva Dance, Hollis, Moon Pie, Cat Kin (Lonetta) and Tree Leaf (Debbie New). What a great project!

Intuitive String and Gray Pen
Intuitive String and Gray Pen

The title of the post may sound strange, isn't all Zentangle intuitive? In this experiment I used a much more complex and intuitive string combined with a gray micron pen on two different pictures, with varied degrees of success. I came to an interesting conclusion, though.
