Inktober Tangles - Day 19 - Mrth by Zentangle
For this version of Mrth, I’ve used the Pangea Reticula, which is based on an irregular shape with rounded corners. If you are familiar with drawing Tripoli, where you aura a side of the previous triangle, this reticula is similar. After placing the first shape, you aura part of it while creating the next shape.
While this reticula is what I see most often, when Mrth is drawn, it doesn’t have to be. You could just as readily use a circle, square or triangle. I’ve seen all of those used.
In addition, I’ve seen various interpretations of this tangle. Most often, I see it used as a flower with other botanical tangles.
I chose the most “traditional” version of this tangle, so I can add it to my collection of Monotangles to use for reference when I teach.
I don’t use Mrth very often, but I should!
