How to draw SCENA

Bonus tangle today!

I already had a tangle planned for today and it’s still coming up shortly in another post so stay tuned a little later in the day for that one.

However, meanwhile in yesterday’s segment of the Twelve Days of Zentangle, 2017 Edition, Maria demonstrates how to tangle the Zentangle-original tangle Scena. So of course I had to make sure it’s included on TanglePatterns.

Scena is one of the 102 original tangles but has not been “published” until now. Oddly enough I referred to Scena very recently in the Irradial tangle discussion and here it turns up again, with visual instructions this time.

As part of the Twelve Days of Zentangle, 2017 Edition, in this Day 11 video (21:27), first Molly prepares some 3Z Zentangle tiles by gluing them together to form a star. She creates a 6-pointed star using two White 3Z tiles, and then a 9-pointed star using three Black 3Z tiles.

After Molly’s stars are prepared, Maria tangles the 6-pointed White star with a Black Micron PN pen using Auraknot to create a frame into which she adds Pokeleaf inside the triangles. She then adds Scena in the center and finishes the star with some Gold Gelly Roll accents.

UPDATE December 13, 2018 – Project Pack #04. As part of the Twelve Days of Zentangle, 2018 Edition series, in this Day 11 video starting at 1:54 Maria demonstrates how to tangle Scena.

Day 11‘s video includes Knightsbridge, Scena, Purk, and Betweed.

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.
