Inktober Tangles 2021 Day 1 and 2

I cannot believe it's already October, where did this year go!? October means Inktober for the art community and the Zentangle community participates with its own list of tangles, organized by Stephanie Jennifer, based on the worldwide event originally launched by Jake Parker. You can find the links to all the Inktober Tangles here in Stephanie's super useful PDF download.

Day 1 and 2

I have to confess I’m not a great participant of Inktober, in general, but this year there seems to be a greater amount of excitement around this event. This is my offering for days 1 (LunarFlux by Debbie New) and Day 2 (Naaki by Nadine Roller). I used my Art Raffle app to select a string and other enhancers, after first searching for the two tangles I wanted to use.

In this game I got TWO cards related to Organicizing tangles, so I figured the universe was telling me something and I better follow it. Here is the before and after shading:

Another super weird pop-up! Here I used a twisting mechanism, which rotates 90 degrees as the card opens and closes. On top of that I added a number of add-ons and the result is pretty crazy! Tangles are Twing, Crescent Moon, Printemps (all Zentangle) and also Fescurus Verae (Veronica Vazquez Orozco) and some other things that don't have names.

Today I participated in a lovely session at CZT After Hours where Marina Solar conducted us creating this four point star. She did it in color over black, but I just had to do it in black pen over white paper. What a fun and enjoyable session, thank you Marina!

I’ve been away on a family reunion, during which I barely had any time to draw. Here is one piece, though, that I managed to make during this time. The challenge was to create an asymmetric pop-up composition using mostly V-folds. Not sure it’s my favorite composition for pop-ups, but it was fun to see how it came along in a very unusual way.

A SECOND little sampler booklet of popup mechanisms, this time exploring Angle folds (V-folds). I especially like the double V-folds that point at each other and make the extensions (arms) rotate wildly.
