Announcing another “official” tangle pattern, “a fun new tangle that’s a bit different because the entire tangle component (we’re calling it a ‘pod’ for now) is completed in one continuous stroke. ”
Zentangle originators Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts just posted this video of their latest pattern Mooka, inspired by the art of Alphonse Maria Mucha.
Enjoy!!
Rick and Maria also posted Maria’s step-by-step instructions for drawing the pattern Mooka in their latest newsletter, here. The examples they demonstrate are in their post, here.
Check out the tag zentangle for more official Zentangle® patterns on TanglePatterns.com. For any of you who are new to Zentangle®, these are the tangle patterns I recommend you start with first.

Oh – how – lovely !!!!! Thanks alot!!!
OMG!! I have always loved the art deco look and this looks so fun, yet so elegant!
Thanks for showing the video!!
This is such a lovely pattern and I love watching Maria’s penmanship.
For those wondering about it, I believe the pen she opens the video with is known as a calligrapher’s oblique pen, used for Copperplate scripts. You can see it up close here: http://www.paperpenalia.com/flex2.html.
You can find the Speedball set on Amazon – Speedball Oblique Pen Set

Maria’s years and years of calligraphy experience really shines, doesn’t it? You won’t find that on Amazon!
Hi Linda, Rick & Maria et al

I was away for a while, and returned home to this gorgeous, gorgeous Mooka/Mucha design – it’s a totally devine Tangle. Thank you so much for posting this video here for us all to see. Makes you want to get stuck right in doesn’t it
ta-ra for now,

‘Mooka’ will truly be one of my favorite patterns. Beautiful and so adaptable! Why don’t you call the pattern segments ‘zegments’?
This is just gorgeous….I can’t wait to try it. Love it.
I’ve always loved the botanical, tangly look of ‘art nouveau’. And I really like your version for the label Linda!

What was that beautiful bent nib fountain pen?!
Hi Heather, I believe you’re referring to the calligrapher’s oblique pointed pen?
