Fiore di Pietro


This is a new tangle pattern introduced on http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/.  It's called Fiore di Pietro and it is a tribute in memory of the creator's brother-in-law who recently passed away.  The creator of this pattern is collecting tiles featuring this pattern in order to make a memory book for the family members, so I thought I might finally participate, and add my tangle to the bunch.  I found this pattern difficult to master, but I haven't worked with it very long.  I messed up the bigger side (the one on the right).  It doesn't really conform to the pattern, and I had to just go with it.  I tried to decorate the inside of the circles and triangles with Nzeppel, or Shattuck.  I added in some auras, and stippling.  I think it has an organic feel to it.

Edited to add: Rho, feel free to use my tangle.

  1. How creative! Really unique variation. Also, I think I overfed your fish over there on the right. ;o)

  4. Thank you so much to each of you for your kind words and encouragement! I am so new to Zentangle and just getting my bearings. I am very grateful for your feedback. I am enjoying Nzeppel because it always seems like the end result is akin to looking at something under a microscope. As if you are seeing the basic elements of life. I don't know; that's just me, and I just like it a lot.

    Sandy, you are welcome to feed my fish anytime!

  6. hahaha!! ;D It's a feature on Blogger. If you go to Design>Layout>Add a Gadget>Most Popular> you should see "Fish" as an option. Thanks for the compliment! BTW, you can customize the fish and the background, too.

  7. I love it, by "rounding" it appears like sea shells, and sand.

  9. Your tile is quite striking; I too, found the pattern difficult at first, but like you, I just kept at it. Think of the part on the right as a variation, because in zentangle that's what it is. Great work.

  10. I love your tile...I think originality of any pattern is good...that is one of the things I love about seeing everyone's tiles....so MANY different ways of interpreting the same design!!! Yours brings to mind for me the calm of the seashore...the tide coming in/going out...a cycle of life!

  13. I love your tile, I recently got back into fine-art in addition to finding zentangle, and I am very drawn to abstract art... this piece just feels very "abstract" to me. Wonderful job!

    ps. I fed your fish too, you will have to return the favor at my blog if you have time... mine always seem to be hungry. ;)
