How to draw PLANATEEN

On Friday’s Eyehook tangle pattern, several readers asked about the pattern Debbie Perdue used in her first Zentangle® example, shown following the steps.

I seem to have been equipped with pretty good pattern memory skills and I knew I’d seen it, but for the moment my memory took a vacation. Usually my pattern recall is pretty instant, but I simply could not remember the pattern name or who published the steps. So I spent a good while digging around in my archives and found it.

Planateen is one of Sandra Strait’s patterns and as usual she’s done a clever deconstruction job. I think you’ll be surprised how this comes together. And Debbie’s example is a great one, especially showing there’s “no up or down” to a tangle pattern.

Sandra’s step-by-step instructions for drawing Planateen are here on her blog.
