How to draw MRTH

It’s been a while since we had a new tangle from Zentangle HQ and today we have two!

At November’s zenAgain 2021 reunion for CZTs, Rick and Maria introduced two new tangles and this week they released them both publicly in the Day 1 video of this year’s 12 Days of Zentangle – Keeping Score, Project Pack #16.

As always I will publish my detailed Summary of the Project Pack after its conclusion on December 23rd. For a complete list of Zentangle’s Project Packs and their {very} detailed Summaries click the PROJECT PACKS link in the pink alphabetic tangle menu bar.

Mrth is but one of infinite possibilities for filling its companion tangle/reticulum, Pangea.

Maria demonstrates how to draw Mrth starting at 03:18 in the Day 1 video of this year’s 12 Days of Zentangle – Keeping Score, Project Pack #16. The printable steps can be found here in the Zentangle newsletter.

UPDATE August 12, 2023 – Project Pack #21. As part of the Organic Tangles: Tangles of a Botanical Nature project pack, in this video Molly tangles an imaginary Singing Mrth Blossom specimen using Fescu, Springkle (Fescu+Indy-Rella), Scena, Mooka, and Sampson.

In case you’re wondering what my {very} detailed Project Pack summaries can do for you …

I’ll let Dessie explain:

Dear Linda,
I am always excited to see what new tangle you focus on on Mondays, Wednesdays, and sometimes Fridays. When I saw that today you were going to talk about Project Pack 7, I was a little disappointed, until I saw what you did! I have been watching the videos, and scribbling down the steps to jog my memory, so that I can do the project. I’d only gotten through Day 2. When I saw your detailed instructions, along with the links, and pictures provided by Zentangle, I was DELIGHTED! I’m now printing out this lovely hard-copy reference, which I’ll use (after watching the videos, unencumbered by the need to take notes, thanks to your hard work). So, many thanks for today’s post! I am sure that I’m not the only one who will find it very helpful!

6. "A Zentangle has no up or down and is not a picture of something, so you have no worries about whether you can draw a hand, or a duck. You always succeed in creating a Zentangle." Thus patterns that are drawings of a recognizable naturalistic or actual object, figure, or scene, are not tangles. A pattern is not always a tangle — here's what makes a tangle. TIP: tangles never start with pencil planning.
