Zentangle® CanT, Inapod, and an Inchie
Labor Day put a delay in the Diva Challenge this week, but it was certainly worth the wait. It is a "use my tangle" week and Chris Titus has given us such a versatile tangle to play with. I think it is just so much fun. For some reason, it reminds me a bit of tessellations. I let this new tangle, CanT, morph into Cadent. I really pushed it a bit. I find little busy tangles a bit fussy, so I'm sure I will let it grow a bit in the future. I can see this being used in so many different ways. So simple too. Thanks Chris!
Inapod is a favorite that I just never think to use, so when I saw that it was this week's focus tangle for Square One, I was really looking forward to stretching that as well. I did some cross hatching and stipple. Then an aura of shading.

Nice work!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes: I do love CanT :-) You did a pretty job with it, combining it with Cadent!
Thanks, Ilse. I haven't been this excited about a new tangle in a long time. I really like this one!
DeleteI do love cadent! The morphing is incredible! I've been playing with CanT and I can't decide how to use it.. Must go practice!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I put down those inner circles, my mind was going outside of CanT into Cadent. I did play with this tangle a bit before I dove in. Thanks for stopping by, Yukari!
DeleteBrilliant drawings and clever inchie.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Trillian :)
DeleteI love your inapod tile😊 I'm the same as you and forget about it,but like it. I like your diva challenge with the new tangle CanT have yet to try it out. Cant wait though see where it takes me 😊
DeleteI often forget about Cadent too, and that's another favorite especially if I let it break free of the grid-like look. Same thing with CanT. Do let it loose. Thank you, Joanne for stopping by.
Deletegreat inchie Jean - love your drawing of the ear and the play it by ear idea
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kia. Always looking for something "odd"!
DeleteGreat, this tangle with Cadent!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annemarie. I do love trying to get one tangle to grow into another. I don't like the top bit at all, but too late now :)
Deletegreat work, I love the inchie and the other work, both of them are really great.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Freebird!
DeleteAll your challenge tiles are very pleasing as usual. Your Can T integrates very well with the other tangles you chose. Inapod is a new one for me. I like it. I also really like Can T. It reminds me of patchwork quilting.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Suzanne. I do like the CanT tangle. And, do play with Inapod. The "traditional" way of doing it is just spectacular (and easy)!
DeleteGreat morphing with the tangles! Isn't CanT a great tangle?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Holly, I do like CanT. Thank you :)
DeleteThank you Jean for explaining the inchie; I was trying very hard to figure out what you were doing...and wasn't making the connection. I still have to get to all these new tangles; so much fun I'm missing out on--you've done some nice creations this week! Have a brilliant day! c
ReplyDeleteHaHa, Cheryl, those Inchies can really be hard to decipher. I can't keep up with all the new tangles. I don't even try some of them anymore. Enough is enough sometimes :) Thanks for stopping by and always leaving such nice comments!
DeleteI love how you repeated the circles in your other tangles. Nice morphing and tangle pairing! I love your Inapod with the crosshatch shading. You really did it well. And "play it by ear" is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Antonine. Circles (orbs LOL) are a favorite of mine. I love how they can splash across a page or inside of a tangle. I almost did my usual spilling of Tipple as an extension of this theme but stopped myself!
DeleteWonderful tiles, you have been busy
ReplyDeleteSuch a unique interpretation of CanT. It shows all of the possibilities just waiting to be discovered.Great Inapod tile as well - it looks like it could be a musical instrument of some sort!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donna. I love to play with tangles and both of these really lend themselves to exploration.
DeleteThat's gorgeous - "play it by ear". Love your Square One.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Zoe. It was either that or "give someone an earful" LOL!
DeleteWow! I can see lots of movement in this one!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jennifer!
Deletevery nice tangle
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ulrike :)
DeleteGreat tiles! I especially love your "Inapod". The shading is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michele. I thought those would be fun techniques to try.
DeleteWonderful tiles for diva and square one :-) And a very interesting inchie!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandra. I'm always looking for a different twist on the inchies, and always have fun researching different ideas.
