Random string, random and selected tangles. Generating random tangles is kind of like opening a box of chocolates… After drawing the string, which I liked, it was time to select random tangles. I knew where to put Claws right away. I also decided to split the V’s to add a little more texture and interest to them. Next came Sproing. Again, not a problem. I thought it would look fine in that weird, narrow space.
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.
Template. If you look closely at the string I used for this tile, you‘ll see two vases. I traced around a vase-shaped template, reversing and overlapping it for the second shape.

Humpf! Ok, this is the Zentangle version of a “bad hair day”. It was fun to do because I didn‘t think about how any of it was going together. But when I was all done and looked at it at arm‘s length, I could see that it was a mish-mash of tangles that didn‘t go together all that well.
