My Tangles

Trying out some new stuff

Here’s are a couple of new tangles I’ve been trying out. The little tornadoes in the center of the first tile are what I like to call Zoomies. I have been trying them out on a few tiles lately and I love them. The second tile has what I call Coju (for COncrete JUngle) beingContinueContinue reading “Trying out some new stuff”

My ‘ZEN’ Is Back…

At last!! I’ve waited in quiet desperation, with wringing hands and bated breath, wondering if it was like one of the thousand other things that I got all excited about and drowned myself in for a short while but didn’t follow through to the end. I wondered if the ‘zen’ had abandoned me forever. I haven’tContinueContinue reading “My ‘ZEN’ Is Back…”

Presenting Momo…

…not the dumpling but a new tangle inspired by the dumpling. Deconstructing this tangle has been on each one of my to-do lists seemingly forever. Now that I’m finally caught up on the Inktober tangles and the swaps, I was able to get this done today. Actually now that I think about it, maybe theContinueContinue reading “Presenting Momo…”

पंखा (Pankha)…

Here’s another one of my tangles, Pankha, which translates to fan in Hindi. It reminds me of one of those ancient ceiling fans with the palm leaf blades. I haven’t yet put the step outs into my template and I’m still working on the sample tiles. I finished one but ruined it because I triedContinueContinue reading “पंखा (Pankha)…”

Reminiscence

It’s strange how memory works. Sometimes the most unlikely things take you back in time. A smell or a texture. Sometimes its just a tangle. I don’t remember how I came up with this tangle but as soon as I finished drawing it, I thought of our time in Shanghai. I found that strange forContinueContinue reading “Reminiscence”

Striped

I’ve been playing around with the elemental strokes a little bit. It’s always exciting to see what these simple strokes can create. So, I’ve been journaling the step-outs for what I think are my original tangles. However, I feel it is impossible to know. Just because there are way too many tangles out there. ForContinueContinue reading “Striped”

More C-rendipity

I’ve been playing with my new tangle a bit and here are the tangleations I came up with. I didn’t think this tangle had so many possibilities but the longer I play with it, the more I’m loving this tangle…

C-rendipity

Here’s introducing my new tangle : C-rendipity! It’s made up entirely of C-strokes and is quite fun to draw. I hope you’ll try it out and have fun with it… UPDATE: Here are some more ways to draw the tangle.

NUXY

This one is close to my heart and here’s why. My daughter, much like her dad, is a bookworm. She’s almost 12 and she is ridiculously logical, focused, and adamant about “not being into art”. She was about 5 years old when she announced that she wanted to become an astrophysicist. I don’t know whereContinueContinue reading “NUXY”

Zari

I am so excited!!! A few weeks ago, I sent in one of my original tangles, Zari, to Linda and it made it’s way onto her website. Also, here are the step-outs along with two sample tiles including a monotangle. Step 4 and 5 are only suggested embellishments. However, the possibilities are many. I hopeContinueContinue reading “Zari”
