Official Zentangle® Patterns - Chillon, Emingle, Flux, Keeko, Msst, Printemps, Tortuca & Warble



Above is a sampler of eight more official Zentangle patterns. The tile at the bottom of this post has all of these tangles labeled.

CHILLON

I found a step-out for "Chillon" HERE at TanglePatterns.com. I found four videos featuring this tangle HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.

EMINGLE

While there doesn't seem to be an official step-out for "Emingle", it is simply a grid filled with square spirals. It is similar to another official tangle called "Ambler". The difference between the two is that "Ambler" is drawn as a ribbon of square spirals that "amble" across the tile and "Emingle" is drawn on a grid. You can read about this tangle HERE at TanglePattern.com. There are videos HERE, HERE and HERE. The second video shows "Ambler" and the last one is labeled as "Ambler" but she actually draws "Emingle".

FLUX

There are two versions of "Flux" depending on who is drawing it. Rick draws his like the example in the top right corner of my tile. Maria draws hers more like the example in the bottom left corner. You'll find the official step-outs for both versions HERE in the Zentangle newsletter. While researching and looking for information about all of the official tangles, I came across a hint that Rick's version of "Flux" was formerly called "Purslane". Whatever the case may be, it is now commonly known as "Flux" and seems to be the most popular of the two versions. It's not there now but Linda Farmer's list of official Zentangle patterns used to have "Purslane" on it. I suspected from another clue that I saw online that it was the same as "Flux" and THIS blog post by Margaret Bremner confirms that. Read the caption below her drawing.

There are videos about this "Flux" HERE, HERE (Melinda Barlow CZT), HERE (Maria's version), HERE and HERE (also Maria's version).

KEEKO

Sandy Steen Bartholomew has a step-out for "Keeko" HERE on her blog. I found videos HERE and HERE.

MSST

Sandy Bartholomew also has a step-out HERE for "Msst". There are videos HERE, HERE and HERE.

PRINTEMPS

Sandy has a step-out for "Printemps" as well, HERE. Margaret Bremner has a blog post full of ideas for this tangle HERE and check out Adele Bruno's "Tips for Tangling Printemps" HERE. I found videos HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.

TORTUCA

I wasn't able to find a step-out for "Tortuca" but Adele Bruno has "Tips for Tangling Tortuca" HERE on her blog. It is one of the tangles featured in THIS video.



WARBLE

I wasn't able to find much online about "Warble" but Ginny Stiles CZT has a step-out HERE on her blog. I also found several examples of tiles with this tangle so I'm confident that this is how it looks. I couldn't find any YouTube videos about this pattern.


UPDATE 3-3-19: I found a video about "Warble" HERE. She has seven other videos about some of the more obscure Zentangle patterns too. I hadn't seen this channel before because she only just put up her first video two months ago.
