This month, I’ve been gently continuing my explorations with my January set of tangles—revisiting patterns I haven’t worked with in a long time. There’s something quietly comforting about returning to familiar lines after a pause. They meet you differently each time, shaped by where you are now as an artist.

For this tile, I chose to work on a Renaissance tile, letting the warm tone of the paper guide my choices. Using black, brown, and white pens allowed me to play with contrast and softness at the same time. Each line felt intentional, slower, and more mindful—an unhurried conversation between pen and paper.

I used Walk the Line as a floral tangle as well as a tile divider, then added Keenees and Paizel to create continuity and gentle movement. Fife was played as a background element, with layered shading between Fife and Keenees to add depth and softness.

Working with tangles I hadn’t visited in a while reminded me how much growth happens in the in-between spaces—between familiarity and discovery, memory and presence. This tile became less about the final outcome and more about reconnecting with the joy of drawing, one thoughtful line at a time.
