Today West Virginia tangler Beth Snoderly shares another tangle pattern with us and Nuwave has a very cool optical effect.
Beth has shared several tangles and strings with the Zentangle® community and I always look forward to seeing what she comes up with as they’re usually a little “off the beaten path”. For tangles, simplicity rules!
Nuwave is formed on a simple dot grid, but with a little practice you can create Nuwave without it and it’s a very easy and rhythmic tangle to draw.
“This pattern came from from a vector graphic off the web. It is a simple but versatile pattern. You can shade in different patterns for a varied look.” Shading does add another level of depth to Nuwave, as I’ve used in my example.
Beth illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Nuwave below and features it in a simple monotangle.
