Metanoia (Meh-ta-NOY-ah) –The journey of changing one’s mind, heart, self, or way of life.
I remember how swiftly I fell in love with the word and its meaning when I first came across it on Shilpa’s blog. So last week when I was looking for a new word to do some Zentangle inspired Typography, I decided to go with Metanoia.
My calligraphy isn’t that good, which ended up in numerous attempts to fit in the word within the circle.
After that I picked one corner and started drawing.
…and kept on drawing.
I referred to a number of tutorials on Pinterest to find new Tangle patterns. Check out this new pattern that I tried for the first time, called Belltemps.
I love drawing floral illustrations too and have been practicing a few to make bookmarks. They look great and doesn’t make the overall drawing look too crowded. Personally, I prefer to draw something which is a mix of intricate tangle patterns with some well spaced out florals.
It took me a whole afternoon to finish the artwork. Like always, I didn’t have any clear picture in mind before I started drawing. I tried to fill the space with patterns that I thought would look good and interesting.
Like it? Pin it 🙂

Looks beautiful Raji. I am yet to try zentangles.
Your drawing is lovely and with such a wonderful flow. What a talent your have!
Wow! That’s so beautiful. I loved the word from Shilpa’s blog, so unique and different. Your zentangle is so gorgeous. I try once in a while but never anything even remotely close to share with the world. You are so talented, Raj. I admire your works. 😀
Amazing . I love the way your metanoia took shape. I haven’t tried Zentangling yet but when we were in school we did doodle line drawings like this. In those days our art teacher called it scribbling!
Simply beautiful. You are truly amazing and so talented, Raj. I tried zentangling once and it was so juvenile. Honestly have no skill, inclination and patience for such arty works. I do coloring on the phone app and that’s the most I can do creatively 😀
Beautiful!! Love the flowers totally!!
This is so amazing! You have magic in your hands!
Raj, you are a wonderful artist. Love the intricate design and the word you chose. Shilpa could make this her site’s badge. I wish you would make one for me 🙂
I think I came across zentangling through you! I have a super hyper mind and sometimes when I need to shut out things I do doodle but nothing worth sharing.
You and Shilpa are super duper talented and each time I see your artwork I feel so proud 🙂
