Simple tangles

Here are three simple tangle patterns. In fact, they are so simple that I imagine someone else has likely used/named them already. If so, let me know and I will give proper credit where it is due. I used them as filler in a ZIA with a lot of flower and leaf patterns.

There really aren't any steps for these simple patterns. For Rayne draw a series of dotted or tiny dashes and end with the drop. The rainfall can come in from any direction. Splash is just the droplets sort of bouncing back up as they hit the ground and Puddle is a series of concentric curved lines that progressively get longer as you work out from the center. These tangles work nicely with the floral and leafy tangles.

My 1st Tangle Design

I am more than a little OCD and I never know when or what will drive me to a new obsession. Right now my obsession is Zentangle...not just drawing them, but trying to find ALL of the different named designs that others have created. There are over a thousand that I know of and more are being created all of the time. In fact, last night I created one of my own--at least I think I did. If this looks familiar to anyone because the pattern already exists please let me know. It was inspired by blocks I noticed on the wall in the apartment of a TV character--Kevin on The Young and the Restless. [Yes, I can admit that watching Y&R is a guilty pleasure. I do not get to watch it everyday--I was home sick when I was watching and noticed the wall pattern. How many times I I seen the same wall, but never noticed the design? I love that Zentangle makes me more observant!]

I also have a completed design that incorporates several different tangles. I'll post it for you next week.
