Since Antonine Megger’s last tangle on the site (Paris), she not only became a CZT but she also got married and she’s now Antonine Koval. Many congrats on both counts!
Antonine writes that Oybay is a tangle she created in 2013 but has just recently created the steps for it.
Back in late 2013 when I was still fairly new to Zentangle, but already loving it, my husband asked me to do a ZIA to put in our wine bar area in the kitchen. I took a piece of parchment look paper, printed a quote from Benjamin Franklin on it and tangled a wine bottle and glass. I burned the edges and mounted it on a really cool square plate charger from Pier One.
… It occurred to me that the shells are like oysters in a shallow pool, so it became Oybay.
My small sample hardly does Oybay justice, wait until you see Antonine’s beautiful piece using Oybay as a frame for Benjamin Franklin’s quote, “Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.”
Antonine illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Oybay here on her blog, it’s a loooong juicy post!

I love this new pattern! Thanks, Linda, for posting it. Clicking through to Antonine’s blog for the stepouts introduced me to her and her excellent art. What a find! I’m going back there now to enjoy more … 🙂
This is a beautiful tangle–thank you for sharing it! Can’t wait to try it.
I love this one. It’s much easier than it looks. I know I’ll be using this one. When I saw OYBAY, I actually thought OYVEY. 🙂
Vicki, I’m so glad you said that because that was my little personal joke about that pattern name. Enjoy Oybay, and I would love to see what all our talented tanglers do with it!
This tangle is GREAT! This is the type of pattern I really like. Thank you for sharing it!
Thank you, Linda, for featuring my tangle. I can’t wait to see the interpretations of talented artists!
