Here’s another grid-like tangle pattern from Elena Hadzijaneva. Elena’s Hypnotic is one of my personal favorites of the non-official tangles.
Although Botie appears as if you might start with a lined grid, in fact this tangle pattern starts with the evenly spaced orbs at the heart of the bow ties.
In her step-by-step instructions here, Elena adds some nice shading that makes the pattern “elevate” from the page. At first I added similar shading but my example is so small I didn’t like how it turned out. So yes folks, I’m fessin’ up, I erased it (gasp). Hence the rather grey looking effect.
Speaking of shading, thanks so much for all your great feedback and comments on the Mini-Clinic. All three of us are delighted you found it useful, and with apologies to Elvis, I’m guessing there was a whole lot of shading going on this past weekend. 🙂
Check out the tag elenah for more of Elena’s patterns on TanglePatterns.com.

My tangling improved by leaps and bounds after reading this book. If you think you have Zentangle down then you need this book more than ever!" ~ Kris H | |
