Mariët Lustenhouwer’s lovely artistry has appeared on TanglePatterns before with her guest Zentangle® illustrating Sue Jacob’s Coil. The tangle Fish Net is Mariët’s first pattern on the site. Asked to tell us a little about herself, Mariët writes:
“My name is Mariët Lustenhouwer, and I live in Dronten, The Netherlands. Calligraphy and Illuminating has been my passion for about 20 years. When I first heard about Zentangle I felt it was a perfect match with my passions. So I started Zentangle in 2009 and immediately I was addicted like all of us. I Thank you for having my Fish Net on Tangle Patterns, and hope it will inspire people.”
Mariët demonstrates the steps for drawing her tangle pattern Fish Net, here. As Sue and other point out in the comments, the shading really makes this fun pattern pop.

Hi Mariet, I like the fishnet tangle but I also love your beautiful calligraphy. Being a calligrapher myself appreciate what others do, knowing the time and thought that goes into doing a “piece” Would love to see more. Cheers from Peggie (AlphaBetiCs) Australia
