I’m still enjoying making these mini needlepoints, I might use them as clothing patches. I’m finding the similarities with Zentangle fascinating: repetitive patterns, intuitive and meditative method, small size canvas, portability and unexpected results. Fun! See more enioken.com/blog/canvasw...

The only thing I barely feel like making right now is some canvaswork embroidery which brings me comfort and reminds me of my grandmothers. This little canvas measures 4x4 inches. See more at enioken.com/blog/canvasw...

Tripoli is the tangle for the second day of Zenuari 2025. I actually created two tiles on this one. Here’s my favorite one, using pitt brush pens and inktense to do the shading. #zenuari2025 See more pictures at enioken.com/blog/zenuari...

My New Year’s resolution is to participate in more art challenges. I signed up for Zenuari 2025, a month-long challenge by Anoeska Waardenburg. I couldn’t resist transforming these into gemmy bubbles. Shaded with inktense pencil. #zenuari2025 More at enioken.com/blog/zenuari...

Happy New Year! I’ve been MIA for the holidays, lots of things to do. Barely had any time to tangle and nothing seemed to work. So I took a couple of unfinished tiles from long ago and completed them with easy (almost) black and white tangling. See more at enioken.com/blog/unfinis...

This picture was made largely adapted from a fragment of Gothic architecture I found in Richard Glazier’s Manual of Historic Ornament (archive dot org). I combined three primary colors with black ink, and shaded and colored using inktense pencils. See more pictures at enioken.com/blog/devongo...

This Project Pack 25 really is one of my favorites. Day 4 covers a tangleation of Gourdgeous going behind and overlapping. Again I used one of my blotched and scratched watercolor papers and am in love with the results! #pp25day4 See more pictures at enioken.com/blog/project...

Zentangle’s Project Pack 25 covers a topic that is dear to my heart: drawing behind. I decided to use some older papers I had prepared with watercolor blotches and scratches, to add an extra layer of difficulty. #zentangle #pp25 See more pictures at enioken.com/blog/project...

Back in 1998 I went to Bali and it was an enchanting place for someone who enjoys ornament and patterns. I extracted the outline of a photo I took back then and used it as a string for this piece. Turned out a little whimsical, almost Seussian. See more pictures at enioken.com/blog/baliwhi...

Another sketch with fragments captured from the world, this one from the hotel we stayed in Barcelona for a night before embarking on our long cruise. It’s funny how you can find fragments even in the smallest details of the wallpaper! Read more at enioken.com/blog/fragmen...

During the last part of my recent trip in Brazil I did not have time to work on a proper project. So I started to capture very quickly some of the fragments I saw around me using a brown pen. Whenever I had the time, I would refine these fragments. See more at enioken.com/blog/fragmen...

This is a picture that I created while aboard my last cruise crossing the Atlantic. Before crossing westbound we visited Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Tenerife Islands. I confess that this picture feels a bit “too pink” for my taste! more at enioken.com/blog/tenerif...
