Last Friday when I added Lollywimple to the site I mentioned that my solution to the “no pencil planning” dilemma was inspired by another tangle.
Ponio is by Taiwan CZT Damy Teng and coincidentally she submitted this to TanglePatterns right about the same time Sandy posted Lollywimple.
Ponio seems to have a Cadent-influence to its aura strokes. Damy also sent along a page from her sketchbook where she experimented with variations of Ponio, however she provides steps for the “easy to learn and good-looking” version.
For my example I turned the orbs of Step 1 into black pearls.
Damy demonstrates her deconstruction for drawing Ponio below and shows three ways to vary the basic tangle with a little Fescu (Zentangle®-original) and Henna Drum (CZT Jane MacKugler) added.
