This April, I’m participating in the April A to Z Blogging Challenge with a creative twist -learning and sharing Zentangle patterns! Each day, I’ll explore a new pattern, uncovering its beauty and include it in my zentangle inspired artwork. At the end of the challenge, I hope to have a completed artwork with all the patterns I learned in this challenge. Join me on this artistic journey as I embrace mindfulness, creativity, and the joy of tangling!
Day 15 of the challenge – O for Opally
Opally, created by Silke Wagner, is a captivating Zentangle® pattern characterized by interwoven loops and circular elements. It looks like a pearl wrapped in petals. A pretty design to practice mindfulness.


Here’s a quick tutorial on how to draw Opally tangle pattern.
