From the end of the alphabet last time, to the beginning today …
It’s been a little while since we’ve had a tangle from Hungary’s Lily Moon, Andante is her latest addition to the site.
Amphora was Lily’s first tangle and it remains one of my favorites.
The term Andante is used in music directions to indicate a passage is to be paced “in a moderately slow tempo“. It could well be a useful term to repeat to yourself while tangling those deliberate strokes, “Andante, andante, andante …”
Andante starts out like the first two steps of Lily’s Cloudfall, with a sinuous curved line and spirals “growing” off the baseline but from there the two tangles depart.
Lily illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Andante here on her blog and features it in a beautiful Renaissance tan Zentangle® tile.
Update September 2019: There appears to be a technical issue with Lily’s blog so until it gets resolved here are Lily’s steps for your convenience. Kindly do not pin or post elsewhere.

Love this pattern! Lily, your renaissance tile is truly gorgeous!
Thank you Marilyn!
Oooh, I love spirals! Can’t wait to put this one through its paces! And on top of that a name that reminds me of Mozart. How nice! Thanks for sharing this!
Dear Linda, Am I missing something? I see that the tangle is for Amphora and I see the finished tangle – I do not see the “how to draw” it instructions frame by frame.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you …. Bobbi
Hi Bobbi, when you read through the post you will find the link that will take you to the steps on Lily’s blog. Hope that helps! 🙂
Hi Linda, I finally found the link to it. Being kinda new hear, I was used to the tangle instructions being right here on this link. It’s all good – I will get used to how things work. lol
Have a nice evening, Bobbi
