Inktober Tangles - Day 26 - Owlpeek by Susan Yeo CZT Owlpeek is an interesting tangle that, depending on how you look at it, looks a bit like a stylized owl. Susan has a couple of examples on her Instagram account of using this tangle as a string! So, I chose to do that here. So although the tangle itself is not use as a design element… it is the entire string. One iteration is drawn to fill the tile, and then the spaces are filled in with other tangles. Keep in mind that this tangle can be flipped upside down, and it will still look the same.
Twisted Ropes. This is my first attempt at trying the twisted rope techniques introduced by Eni Oken . I had a small problem with my pink pen… it started puddling and making inconsistent lines shortly after I stared. I decided to carry on with it anyway because I didn‘t want to start my tile over again. It turns out that, IMHO, the blooping pen actually added to the designs.

Field mice. Even though the tangle is called Birds on a Wire, every time I draw it, I think of mice, not birds! Zentangle drawn on Official Zentangle tile using a black, Micron pen. Tangles: Afterglow Birds on a Wire Fassett Floo Garlic Cloves Lettuce Farm Msst Quare Waves Wiking
