Five-Oh, Knightsbridge
OK, small gratuitous chest beating here, but I kind of really love this tangle. Apart from the groovy shape (hello, clip art!), it just worked. There are any number of ways this shape could have popped, but to me, the Five-Oh around the edges of the flourish is perfect. It gives a great sense of shape and allows the Knightsbridge shape to really feel three-dimensional.

Five-Oh can also create the overall shape of a tangle. This “sun” is a relatively simple way to demonstrate what Five-Oh can do, but I know there are lots of really imaginative ways, too. Let me see them!
Use these basic shapes as starting points for creating shape with Zentangle. After a while, you won’t need the strings; your natural instinct will tell you what works. These are a good beginner’s point, though.
