Letting a Heart Emerge

Letting a Heart Emerge

It’s Day 2 of the PP28 series, and today’s exploration felt both intricate and playful. This session focused on the tangle Molygon, paired with Purk, allowing the details to slowly build and reveal themselves as the tile unfolded.

I stayed with the same comforting color palette—black and brown ink on tan, with a gentle touch of white for highlights. There’s something deeply grounding about returning to the same colors; it creates continuity across the series and lets the focus rest on line quality, pattern, and depth rather than constant decision-making. The subtle contrast between black and brown added warmth, while the white softly lifted the forms from the surface.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, hearts seem to be quietly making their way into everything this month—and I allowed that mood to slip into this tile as well. Keeping that theme in mind, I arranged the Molygons in a way that they come together like a heart emerging from the paper, almost as if it’s gently rising forward. It wasn’t overly planned, more an intuitive response to the season and the flow of the tangles.

This project, much like Day 1, was wonderfully relaxing. There was no rigid planning—just responding to each line as it appeared. Molygon provided a strong yet soft structure, while Purk added movement and intricacy.

The result feels warm, detailed, and quietly joyful—a small celebration of process, pattern, and a touch of seasonal love.
