From landing in Yangon to the busy markets in Hpa-an, the Bagan Archaeological area and the fascinating floating village at Inle Lake we absorbed the brilliant colour and life of Myanmar. With Paul
While visiting a friend recently I chanced to use the bathroom where the soap dispenser had a simple and interesting pattern on it. Due to much forethought and good planning I had pen and paper in my purse! I made a return trip to the bathroom to draw the pattern. I looked on the bottom of the soap dispenser, hoping for inspiration for a name. It said simply "Dansk". I also suggest adding the Auras around the 'drops' equally, until they bump into each other. Here's Dansk at work. Tangles: Crescent Moon, Dansk, Diamond Drops, Paradox, Tipple, Tripoli Tangles: Amaze, Dansk, Tripoli and my Drupe/Fracas hybrid

"Variety of mere nothings gives more pleasure than uniformity of something." Jean Paul One of my favorite tangles is 'Nzeppel, so I was happy to see that it's the focus tangle this week on the Facebook group Square One. Right off the bat I knew I'd be creating multiple tiles for this "One." When I taught a class a few months ago all about tangleations, 'Nzeppel was one of the tangles I showcased. I had worked on several tangleations and decided to use some of them in my tiles for this focus. In case you don't already know, a tangleation is a noticeable variation of a tangle pattern. I will be showing you my tiles, as well as the step-outs for the tangleations I used. If you aren't familiar with the tangle pattern 'Nzeppel, you can see the step-outs here. For my first tile I chose to use the random variety of the pattern, not based on a grid. This is not one of my tangleations, but one of the ways to draw 'Nzeppel introduced by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts. First I drew Cosmo, by CZT Sonya Yencer, as my string and filled all the background with random 'Nzeppel. I didn't take a picture before shading, but believe me, the shading made such a huge difference in this tile! I only wish I could get the shading in my scanned photos to look like it does in real life! Here is my second tile, using one of my tangleations, along with my pattern Sharmin, from my e-book Step Out in Style. Below are the step-outs for this tangleation. Notice that the first 2 steps are what you would do for the standard form of 'Nzeppel, which I think of as squishing balloons into the triangular spaces. But then I drew auras inside each of those squished balloons. An aura is a line traced around the outside or inside of a tangle. In the last box I demonstrate two different ways this can be shaded, and used the one on the right side to shade the above tile. Next I decided to try out the pattern Onion Drops by Shasta Garcia, which I've never used before. I added another tangleation of 'Nzeppel in the background. Here are the step-outs I used for the tangleation shown above. After drawing my grid and an X in each square of the grid, I drew lines dividing each of the triangles into two sections, as shown. Then I added a squished balloon in each section. For my last tile, I used a third tangleation. I created a very large 'Nzeppel in the center of the tile, surrounded by a little Tipple and a lot of Hollibaugh. The step-outs for that tangleation are shown below. Instead of drawing an X in each square of the grid, I only drew one diagonal line, alternating the direction of the diagonal in each square. Then I added a line in each of the triangles to divide it into two sections, and squished my balloons into each one of those sections. 'Nzeppel is a pattern that you can really do a lot with. Other ideas that I've used are a really curvy grid, an offset grid, and one more that I did the step-outs for, but do not have a tile to show you. In this one, I again started with an X in each square. Then I drew another triangle inside each triangular section (an aura), and squished a balloon into each of those triangles. 'Nzeppel isn't the only pattern you can create so many tangleations for. Try it yourself with another pattern and you might be surprised by what great variations you end up with. A wonderful way to make a pattern your own!

This week I'm sharing the new tangles I came up with while trying to use Cadent for the Diva's challenge. These new tangles all use the small circles and S-curved line from Cadent, but they don't resemble Cadent much at all. I rather like it when the 'rectangle' has an Aura inside, then filled black. Here's a Zendala tile using Dentri, with the triangles also mostly black: Tangles: Black Pearlz, Dentri, Zewm, stripes with highlights
While attempting the 75th Zentangle weekly challenge - to use Cadent - my brain went off in other directions and instead presented a few lovely variations of Cadent. For another very cool variation of Cadent, see CZT Patty Meijer's blog here. Some of the things my brain sprouted are so different that I think they warrant their own name. I'll be sharing them this week. First up, FUNLS, which probably bears the most resemblance to Cadent. Say 'funnels'. I think we owe our non-English-first-language tangle buddies some explanations of the odd/oddly-spelled names we come up with for some tangles! A hint: frequently they are rather phonetic and don't use the frequently bizarre English spelling. :) For shading, go to the base of the squiggly lines. Here's a tile with Funls: Tangles: Black Pearlz, Funls, Groovy, Knase, LinQ, Tortuca
