Zentangle has certainly opened up my eyes to the beauty around me. On one of my visits to Chatswood I looked up at a building I often walk past, without seeing, and saw the latest inspiration for a new tangle pattern."The Concourse" is a multifunction venue in the heart of Chatswood, NSW. It houses a concert hall, theatre, art space, library, two open green spaces, restaurants, cafés and retail stores, which makes The Concourse a perfect meeting place for many different occasions.
The woodwork inside the windows is what drew my attention. Needing inspiration for a tangle name I searched the internet for words that mean meeting place and 'Agora' was born.
According to Wikipedia, "The Agora (/ˈæɡərə/; Ancient Greek: Ἀγορά Agorá) was a central space or square in ancient Greek city-states. The literal meaning of the word is "gathering place" or "assembly"". Agora is my latest tangle for you to try. I have included some tangleations of this very versatile tangle pattern & look forward to seeing what you create with it in the future.
Happy tangling and Enjoy!
Hi There! Just wanted to let you know that we used Agora as a challenge pattern at our last Wisconsin Tangle Artist's Coalition meeting and it was a great success! Love your work! http://mollybeesattic.blogspot.com/2016/06/wisconsin-tangle-artists-coalition.html
