PULSAR: A SUPER EASY new Zentangle Pattern by Pegi Schargel, CZT
The PULSAR tangle is an incredibly simple, versatile, and adaptable Zentangle pattern. It is just waiting for your playful tangling agility and your own artistic creativity.

So I laid out tiles 1-4 and drew the undulating stripe’s center band. making sure it had enough space for some pea size ‘pearls’. I made a few aura lines surrounding that initial band. Some solid, some with tangles, some narrow some wide. I ended up with 5 bands on each side of the pearled stripe. It will be fun to see what you come up with. I hope you find this idea helpful!
