Thank you so much for bringing us this beautiful update. We were all thinking of you, and it is such a comfort to know your heart is healthy and that you've found answers. I'm so glad the new routine is working and that you are feeling relieved and renewed. Sending you lots of love.

Thank you it helped me so much, and yes it needs some practice to get the pattern right, thanks again

Still love this!

Norma, I like your new tangle very much! I see many possibilities for slight changes or additions that could lead to lots of fun playtime! Your story really captured my heart … as we age, so many things can go wrong! I too believe that Zentangle can help us overcome or at least cope with many “issues” that challenge us. I’m sending hugs. <3

Batik process used with Indigo dye can also be found in Nigeria. Traditional Adire uses a resist technique whereby cassava paste as used for the resist. In modern times…wax is used…as well as other colors from synthetic dyes. The patterns have meanings and communicated with others. Today, patterns are developed by contemporary artists. I have often thought these patterns very reminiscent of Zentangle patterns. I appreciated reading the background of this tangle! Thank you for sharing.
