My New Tangle Silo
Update:
Tangle Silo is Pronounced as (Si-lo)
Just a few days ago, my husband asked me if I had checked the English Dictionary for Silo (and he kept pronouncing this tanglepattern as sai·loh, that sounded much like Milo ;-), to which I corrected). After he told me, I referred to the English Dictionary and I felt awkward. So I thought, I will update it in my blog here, the story behind the name Silo for this tangle pattern.
Well, the truth is, I didn’t plan to keep the name Silo. The earlier idea was to keep “Silhouette” - but I found really hard to remember the spelling Silhouette! yeah, that’s me.
So then I thought about all my non-English friends who may incur issues in searching for this tangle pattern - so I shortened the names Silo - which is pronounced as (Si-lo).
So now that this is clear, let’s continue reading the original blog.
Many moons ago, Year 2017, this tanglepattern appeared in my art practice - zentiles and journals.
Below pictures are some of my previous practices in Year 2017-18:
But just as you would think, the tangle pattern looked very close to Tangle Spoken, as it had this radial feel (tangles that have a centre point and open out on all sides). And it was quite understandable since I was so much intrigued by spoken tangle.
So then I gave it a rest, as I waited to feel the synchronicities or feelings. It’s almost like I kept “dating” the tangle, until one day - Silo appeared and I decided to marry it! lolzzzz! I also love when I come across tangles that leave me intrigued and curious, so I kept dating back and forth.
So after almost 3 years, I thought of revisiting this tangle, and this time, it took a different way. It had that awe, many possibilities, the abstractness and freedom that a Zentangle Pattern usually would give to the tanglers. I was fueled with a lot of energy and just on one go, created three different variations of this tangle pattern. This tangle surely shares DNA with Tangle Spoken and Tangle Fengle.

Here I am showing the variation of Tangle Silo to try out for you. This is more of an abstract version of this tangle pattern and I seriously loved the take of it. It can take one into different directions, create in all small and big designs, etc.
I have created a watercolor background using Koi WaterColors and spread with Koi Aquabrush, allowed it to dry and then later used my trusted Sakura Micron PN Pen to draw the tangle. I am using a regular hotpressed round shaped cardstock, artist quality for this illustration.
