How to draw KOLLIDE

Zentangle pattern: Kollide. Image © Linda Farmer and TanglePatterns.com. All rights reserved.Today’s lovely tangle, Kollide, is by CZT Kim Winebrenner and it’s her first on the site.

Kim is from Cuyahoga Falls, OH and she’s a member of the 11th CZT class.

I first ‘discovered’  Kollide in its circular variation, then later stretched it out to a line. The circular version I was playing with reminded me of a kaleidoscope,  hence the name Kollide.

When I am not tangling, I am at my first teaching job; I am a literature professor at Kent State University. I love teaching literature, but teaching Zentangle is a very special treat too–and there are no papers to grade! Seriously though, one of the best parts of being a teacher (either of literature or Zentangle)  is watching  a student gain a sense of satisfaction, confidence, and pride in her/his  newly found abilities.

Kollide is a pretty ribbon or border-type tangle which has an interesting Phicops-like element in it (Step 5).

I found Kollide can get out of whack if the zigzag element in Step 3 isn’t positioned and spaced evenly. I solved this by putting a tiny ink dot to aim for and that helped me get the peaks exactly where I wanted.

Kim illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Kollide here and features it in a Kollide monotangle showing a circular variation of her tangle. Kim provides the steps for the circular version below.

Here Kim illustrates two variations of Kollide the first of which uses the sparkle tangle enhancer.
