As we said in this newsletter, this time we're trying something a bit different.
You get to name it. Post your suggestions below. The winner will receive a set of Zentangle Coasters.
You get to deconstruct it. It you figure out first how it's done (there are hints on the newsletter) we'll also send you a set of Zentangle Coasters. Just post a link to an image of your "step-out" instructions in your reply to this blog.
Here are a few of the newsletter images.
We'll post the instructions and the winners in about a week in our newsletter.
Note:
We'll need a way to contact the winners. So if you are posting as "anonymous" we won't be able to contact you.
Have fun!

The first name that comes to mind is "Brain Flow." That's exactly how I feel when I'm tangling.
ReplyDeleteCeltic knot. I love it!!!

ReplyDeleteLOL
I like this new tangle. They look like super versions of Celtic Knots to me. "knot-to-be" means that you are in the process of having the lines become a knot; existence.
ReplyDeleteCarmen Burgos
ReplyDeleteThis is fun!
I would call it Aurabaugh Plexus.
Pleaxus meaning a network or interlacement; a complication of structures.
cburgos@utk.edu
It is a 'log cabin'.
ReplyDeleteThis is an old quilt pattern, done by starting with a square,representing the hearth or fire, then laying logs around the square. There are many variations of this pattern, just like your tangle. I suspect your pattern is done the same way but I have no way of scanning my zentangle. Everyone will have loads of fun doing this one.
Let your line Dance, Donna Pepper
My first impression was a Celtic Knot...so a play on words...something like Kltik or something similar.
ReplyDeletebjstamps at suddenlink dot net
under wonder! is step is under the one before it.
ReplyDeleteChaos to clarity and back.
ReplyDeleteBarbara
It reminds me of a maze so I chose AmaZen
ReplyDeleteSorry- plexus in the definition was misspelled it should be Plexus.
ReplyDeleteCarmen
I suggest "Vari-corn", for a variable number of corners! Thank you for the many possibilities.
ReplyDeleteReally loving this new tangle. Think a good name would be "Collide". When lines collide, you get beautiful tangles!
ReplyDeleteThey all seem to have lots of depth - first name that came to mind was Deeper.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a celtic knot but can transform into so may beautiful variations so I suggest: CELTIC MUSE as the name for this new tangle.
ReplyDeleteTherese Yonikus
Yes celtic knot so how about AuraKnot
ReplyDeletehogwildquilting@gmail.com
The first thing I thought of when I saw it was "bandages" it also reminds me of "iris folding" so those would be my suggestions.
ReplyDeleteThanks

Until I can think of something better, I like Kathy's Inderweevin
ReplyDeleteStar Struck
ReplyDeleteLog Cabin Laces
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was,
ReplyDelete"Mizuhiki Tangled".
mary l.
Due to the timing as well as how it is made, I recommend to name it: Stars and Stripes.
ReplyDeleteHow better to celebrate the 4th of July.
Celticangle
ReplyDeleteCHRYSALIS after the wonderful quilts created by Maria McCormick-Snyder in the 1980's
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool tangle and reminds me of "hibred", however it is a bit more classy so lets call it
ReplyDelete"thoroughbred".
"Interchange" because it makes me think of a freeway interchange gone wild! Very cool
ReplyDeleteHollibaura
ReplyDeleteCitronica is my suggested name. I'll explain later!!!
ReplyDeleteI am away from home and can't post efficiently; I will send my stepouts vis a forwarded email...that's the best I can do right now!
Amy in TN
How about "holla" cross between Aura and Hollibaugh! This tangle does 'holla' at ya! LOL
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I can't scan at this time. But I like this one! :)
This pattern immediately reminded me of Hollibaugh and Hibred so I called it Hollibred.
ReplyDeleteIt goes here and there and so many places!
ReplyDeleteI'd call it "meander"...
LanaC
Just posted my "step-out":
ReplyDeletehttp://createdtodesign.blogspot.com/2012/06/new-tangle.html
I'm not sure if anyone beat me to it, but there it is anyway. I had fun! Thanks for the challenge, Rick and Maria! I still have to think of a name...
Like most people, it reminds me of a knot, so I came up with R-Knot. I also like Amy's 'AmaZen.' Cool tangle:) Can't wait to see how it's done!
ReplyDeleteHere is my step out for the new tangle! Lots of fun..."Vari-corn"??
ReplyDeletehttp://sharonartbydesign.blogspot.com/2012/06/new-tangle-step-out.html
This tangle reminds me of a quilt design called "log cabin." So that is my suggestion: Log Cabin.
ReplyDeleteI got a set of step outs done too - But I haven't looked at the other ones above me yet. What fun!!!
ReplyDeleteSome of the names above are great!
http://suejacobs.blogspot.com/2012/06/new-tangle-challenge.html
To me it looks like wrappings or weavings. "Moirai" is another word for Fate, as is "Providence". I also like "Wholecloth".
ReplyDeleteTwisted mind
ReplyDeleteLayered Tulips
ReplyDeleteI don't have time right now, to figure out the steps, but since it looks like a maze and I am always "Zenmazed" at your tangles, that's my name suggestion. Fun looking tangle and post!
ReplyDeleteMingles. Not only are the lines and angles mingling, but this tangle mingles well with others such as Mooka.
ReplyDeleteWith it being comprised of corners and angles, the combination name of "Corangle" comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteIm with Maudi may....
ReplyDeleteZenTemari because it reminds me of The Japanese Thread Balls. Yes, I agree it also reminds me of Celtic Knots also. Love seeing new Zentangle elements!
ReplyDeleteTriniStar
ReplyDeleteSince it resembles both a star and the Celtic trinity symbol.
I agree it looks like a log cabin quilt square. How about "LOQUILT"
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI like, "All Tied Up in Knots"
ReplyDeleteMy step-out directions are posted here: (it will be the last picture in the gallery)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cafecrop.com/gallery/pictures-zentangle/
I have not looked at anyone else's to see if we came up with the same thing! This was a fun challenge.
For a name: QLTZ (quilt - as in a quilt pattern or it looks like an iris folded card!)
Tina C., CZT7
I love the expandability of this tangle - even though I am far from having figured it out. I was struck by the woven quality and variety of starry shapes, so my suggestion is "Starweave".
ReplyDeleteMy name choice is "Crazy."
ReplyDeleteCeltic Knot is certainly the inspiration I think. The fabulous "over and under" process that would keep anyone's brain focused for hours. Some variation on Celtic NOT!
ReplyDeleteJohn Christofferson
(celtic) conundrum or CC for short
ReplyDeleteStellar.....because your new tangle is both outstanding and a brilliant star. Such fun!
ReplyDeleteTwo names come to mind: first, "Log Cabin," after the traditional quilting pattern it loosely resembles.
ReplyDeleteAnd also, "Steppes," for "Courthouse Steps," the name of a Log Cabin variation.
Now I've got to sit down and try it! :-)
How about "Line-a-Lot" a little play on words for the build up of linear forms....
ReplyDeleteI, too, figured it out pretty easily with just three points. But my cap goes off to cafe crop for figuring the 5 points. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought of was the way I start some baskets. How about "bask-it"? This tangle makes me want to stretch out and Zentangle on a warm, sunny deck.
ReplyDeleteI could get lost in this one and it's tanglations for days! As complicated as it looks, for me it just comes down to "In-tangle".
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the delicate weaving of a bird's nest. So, I'd suggest Nezt.
ReplyDeletethis reminds me of a ham radio signal -help- s.o.s- just though it sounded good .

Here's my take on how its done:
ReplyDeletehttp://erinsparler.com/blog/2012/06/zentangle-deconstruction/
"Ball of Yarn"
ReplyDeleteIn-zen-ity
ReplyDelete"Sydney," because it evokes the Sydney Opera House.
ReplyDeleteI would call it "Quasar" since it lends itself so readily to forming stars.
ReplyDeleteA title based on the process of creating this pattern could certainly be "TurnTile" :)
ReplyDelete"Zen Reeds" just come to mind, as it reminds me of basket weaving, which is done with reeds.
ReplyDeleteI immediately saw paradox and a celtic knot....so I've used these names and your "hints" to create HOLLIDOXAT!
ReplyDeletehttp://creativeadventures-pennyb.blogspot.com/2012/06/new-tangle.html
I would like to name this new tangle "Surprise" because it was a real surprise to find this challenge in the newsletter.
ReplyDeletehttp://studio-ml.blogspot.nl/2012/06/new-tangle.html
Zenternal (reminds me of Celtic Eternity Knots)
ReplyDeleteI love this new zentanlge and it reminds me a never ending staircase. I would call it "stairtangle" Thanks so much for Zentangle! kat
ReplyDeleteCeltic Array
ReplyDeleteI see a quilt pattern also--though not the Log Cabin, but its cousin, Courthouse Steps. So my name for the new tangle is "Stepped In It."
ReplyDeleteLuke actually figured this one out! I'm not surprised, although he may have had an advantage. We would call it "Point of Zenterest"
ReplyDeleteI think it should be Not-a-Knot.
ReplyDeleteI would call it "Eyrish ?" for Irish Question - guess it is my English background coming to the fore!
ReplyDeleteJakki
This so reminds me of a quilt I'm making right now that is called French Braid pattern ..and , also, French Braid hairstyles. Mary Ann
ReplyDeleteForget Me Knots
ReplyDeleteEscherTangle
Zen-Escher
Maized
It really reminds me of something Escher would have tangled
I see the log cabin as stated above and it has a very Celtic interwoven knot feel to it so if you combine the two you'd have Celbin or Clabin or Cabelt. I can't wait to see the steps. I don't think I can do it without a pencil and eraser! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it, am going to try it right now. For a name, how about Inter-lochen. Spelled w/an "h" so it sounds more Celtic.
ReplyDeleteThis elegantly simple tangle seems to grow inward, as we all do when we practice mindfulness, so my suggestion for an equally simple name is GrIn, for Growing Inward.
ReplyDeleteissmayonglay@gmail.com
How about Celtic Tangle?
ReplyDeleteOkay did not see my comment post so am going to try again.
ReplyDeleteI think this looks like a cross between Celtic Knotwork and Basketweave. So how about Celbweave.
Cat at crystalwolfsings@yahoo.com
Now that I look more closely it reminds me how I construct a "Log Cabin". Might be a good name, drawn log cabin instead of quilted one.
ReplyDeleteI can't get this tangle out of my head - all I want to do is draw more! Hope you don't mind if I suggest another name, based on what I thinkare the 2 most important steps..."In-tern"! Thanks for all the fun, Rick & Maria!
ReplyDeleteI am new to zentangle but am definitely hooked. This new tangle made me think of two things. One thought would be "noodles" and the other would be "pick up sticks".
ReplyDeletejudy
There are two moves in this tangle as I see it. Around (aura) and Under (Hollibaugh). arunder is the name that I give it.
ReplyDeleteThere are two moves in this tangle as I see it. Around (aura) and Under (Hollibaugh). arunder is the name that I give it.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of steps. I would call it Stepn.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the comparisons to Celtic knotwork. Since we have a Hollibaugh … why not Gobraugh (forever)?
ReplyDeleteSomeone already posted this, so I give my vote for "Log Cabin".
ReplyDeleteHi, this is Jodi Ferrini.
ReplyDelete(I thought i had posted a comment through my google account, but it didn't show up, so if this duplicated, I apologize!)
My vote is "Betwisted" or "Be-twisted" or some variation of that. It reminded me of Betweed but it looks like it's all twisted up together.
I had recomended a name because of the forth and the way it looks of Stars and Stripes. Take a look at my blog to see my tanglation trying to figure out the directions. http://pjwaldropstudios.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeletehttp://shellybeauch.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/tangle-deconstruction.html
ReplyDeleteHere is my deconstruction idea.
Tricky and fun!
I think it's CHEEKY. See why...
ReplyDeleteAlso, here's a "step-out" for any number of points.

FORGOT THIS:
ReplyDeletePlease contact me at:

Maricka. :oD
ReplyDeleteCongrats to JEANNE KERO for figuring out the step-out we used!
ReplyDeleteWe'll have a newsletter out next week with more details.
While other approaches can accomplish a similar result on some forms, this approach gives you a lot of freedom and opportunities for creative tangleations.
Thank you to ALL who played!
We will announce the name in our next newsletter.
Stay tuned . . .!
I like the name
ReplyDeleteUnbe-weave-able!
WOO-HOO! I got the "step-out" right!
ReplyDeleteMy husband said it should be named, Roundabout... roundabouts are tricky for us mid-westerners but once you figure it out it's smooth 'sailin.'
I finally got my NEW tangles completed and posted.

jeannekero@gmail.com
Love this new tangle, it's addictive and challenging. Congrats to my fellow CZT Jeanne kero for winning the step-out challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis tangle reminds me of a woven Celtic knot so I'm leaning towards Knot-wot for the name.
Daniele O'Brien, CZT #6

Congrats Jeanne Kero!!!! What name shall it be I
ReplyDeleteWonxer?
Hmm... Looks like I'm late to the game! I'm sending my instructions, even though Jeanne has already got them right, because my approach is a little different.
ReplyDeleteI would name it Tri-tweed, because, at least in my version :-), it's a combination of a triangle and celtic knot, (which are also symbols of the Trinity), and it uses the between style of filling in.
https://picasaweb.google.com/107562568922369566935/ZentangleInstructions
I have really enjoyed deconstructing this tangle. Like others, it reminds me of Celtic Knots. The trinity knot is very special to me and with the unlimited number of corners one can make with this tangle, I thought of combining Infinite and Trinity. So I thought either "Trinfinite," "Trinfinity" or "Trinfini-T"
ReplyDeleteThank you for the extra fun this week! Nicole (nicolealwaysbelieves@gmail.com)
I would call it Wyka (Bostonian for Wicker) it reminds me of the furniture weave
ReplyDeleteAt last, I finally have my primitive version of step-outs for this tangle posted to my blog...now I can start checking out how everyone else broke it down and diagrammed this great new tangle!
ReplyDeleteI misspelled the name I proposed for this tangle when I posted last week (aack!). I suggest "Cintronica" (not "Citronica," as I had written in that previous comment), after Tina Cintron, who presents a way to draw Celtic knots on one of her instructional DVDs. It was from her DVD that I learned of a configuration of lines she called "Headless Dancing Man" that is a square with extended sides, which can serve as a base for the 4-sided version of this tangle. In October 2010 I showed the CZT 4 seminar how to draw simple Celtic knots using Headless Dancing Man, so that's why I'd like to honor Tina Cintron. I, too, agree that this tangle also has a strong relationship with the log cabin quilt block, so I added "ca" to the end of my name to stand for CAbin. (I added the "i" just because I though it sounded more graceful than "Cintronca.")
You can see my version of the step outs at my tanglefish blog:

Now that I have seen the step-outs that others posted, I am indeed laughing at myself!!! When I was trying to deconstruct the tangle, I could not see that there was one strand that was completely on top of all the others (like Hollibaugh, duh!) and was determined to figure out how to build this tangle using Headless Dancing Man and related configurations. I simply couldn't figure out any other way.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jeanne!
Given my folly, Cintronica is NOT the best name for this tangle...there are a bunch of other names that have been suggested that I love, though. I like the names that are not too specific to a pre-conceived image, so if it were up to me, I'd be choosing from the following possibilities: Plexus, Temari, Mizuhiki, Conundrum, Moirai, Providence, Stellar, Bask, Zenternal, and Betwist.
I may be a little late with this but only saw it yesterday and was intrigued. I have posted what I think is how it is drawn and suggest 'StepR' as a name as it looks like a continuous set of steps to me. Looking forward to seeing how it is really drawn.
ReplyDeleteI suggest Celtic Not.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the birth of a star and the little rhyme, "Star light, star bright, first star I've seen tonight". My suggestion is 'star bright' as several of them seem to keep on radiating outward. Have fun choosing. Darlene
ReplyDeleteENDLESS STAR, just because......
ReplyDeleteHow about... Maizy :)
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of an Iris...and wouldn't it be lovely done in purple?
ReplyDeleteYes, reminds me of an Iris too, but I would call it "Fleur de Lis". Thank you!
ReplyDeleteA Maze
ReplyDeleteAmaZen
ReplyDeleteI Think it could be called Celtangle
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I saw it was of the shamrock being used by St. Patrick to explain the Trinity. Since both shapes have three points, how about Trinitangulation?
ReplyDeleteA spokesman for the camp has said that they intend to leave within a
ReplyDeletecouple of weeks and to try to clear the park to the best of their
ability. Talks are continuing between the camp, the Council and the
Cathedral to finalise how and when the camp will move on. Alex and I
welcome that this appears to be a peaceful conclusion to the protest and
hope the park will be back to its former glory soon.
