New Tangle: Hidiva

Hidiva Stumbled upon this while playing with my initials VA. I will post the stepouts in a day or two

For those of you who don’t know, I’m a perfectionist. I’m starting to see how that is actually not something to be proud of. More often than not, perfectionism is detrimental to my well- being. It is what kept me from completing the 100 day challenge. The minute I feel behind, I felt like aContinueContinue reading “Onward and Upward”

Playing Catch Up

IThe 100 day project has just begun and I have already fallen off the wagon. That’s okay. I intend to catch up and here’s day 2/100, 3/100, 4/100 and 5/100. More catch up bookmarks to come over the next few days. Until then…

Day 1

Here is my bookmark and my photograph of ordinary things for day 1 of the 100 Day Project

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”

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.

Happy Pi Day

Well, not yet but it will be around soon. At least in America! Meanwhile I discovered Tickled to Tangle. I am kinda sorta tripping on Zentangle challenges right now coz I’m a novice tangler and these challenges help me push my boundaries, discover and learn new tangles, test my creativity, and I end up withContinueContinue reading “Happy Pi Day”
