How to draw LAMAR

Lamar is a tangle from Canadian CZT Margaret Bremner and though it’s been around for a bit, it’s just making its appearance on TanglePatterns today.

Margaret has many great tangles and quite a few strings here on the site including the recent TanglePatterns String 200.

While on a trip to Mexico a few years ago, the bathroom tile in Margaret’s accommodations captured her eye and she proceeded to deconstruct Lamar from the original tile. Lamar is not an exact replica of the original tile design but it formed the inspiration for the tangle.

“The Spanish word for ‘sea’ or ‘ocean’ is mar. Years ago I was told by a Spanish prof that mar is normally a masculine noun (el mar) but that sometimes in literary or poetic work it’s feminine: la mar, thus the name of the tangle. “

Lamar makes a very pretty ribbon or border-type tangle and as I’ve mentioned before, most of these can also be drawn side-by-side to fill a section of a tile.

Margaret shows the step-by-step instructions for drawing Lamar here on her blog.

Margaret also has a WONDERFUL series of tutorials she calls “… and then some” where she takes several Zentangle®-original tangles “on a wild ride of variations“. Truly, you do not want to miss these inspirational tutorials. Look for the links to Margaret’s tutorials on these pages:

• Cadent
• Cubine
• Echoism
• Knightsbridge
• Paradox
• Tipple

As you enjoy any of the tangles on the site, please do leave a comment of thanks and encouragement to show the artists you appreciate them for sharing their creativity for you to enjoy.
