Luci is a tangle I deconstructed some time ago. It was a pattern on a wall I noticed whilst watching
Whilst watching an episode of Lucifer, one rainy day,
I saw a pattern I had not seen as a tangle and decided to deconstruct it and add
to the ever-growing examples of tangles that may be used for our Zentangle
enjoyment.
Since I saw this pattern whilst watching Lucifer, I thought
a name for this tangle should be something associated with the show. The word
Lucifer is a Latin word meaning ‘morning star’. Although I liked the idea of
morning star, the tangle bares no resemblance to a star. Also, the word Lucifer would not make a good
name for a tangle as it is associated with the devil. Good things come to those
who wait. In a later episode Amanadiel, Lucifer’s brother calls him by the
nickname ‘luci’. So luci it is.
Luci is created using the basic strokes of l and (,
it uses the technique of ‘rounding’, and is drawn in three simple steps.
Here is the step-out for luci -
Luci can be categorised as a channel type tangle.
Borders, and fills of two or more channels drawn side by side, are two uses for luci.
Creating tangleations of luci also result in many different looks.
The spaces inside each section can also be filled with other tangles, as seen on the white tile on the step out page above.
With the ever-growing examples of tangles that may be used for
our Zentangle enjoyment, it now almost impossible to search for previously published tangles that may be the same as luci. If it has please let me know so I can update this page and give the original publisher, the recognition he/she deserves.
I hope you enjoy the tangle luci as much as I do when tangling and exploring the possibilities this tangle provides.
