Po Lin; A New Travel Tangle

Apr 15, 2018
2 min read

I am back from a trip to the Orient and have a new Travel Tangle to share with you. I often find interesting patterns while I travel, and I always have my phone is handy to record them. I will have lots of exciting new Tangles, Tangleations and Zentangle Inspired Art Techniques for all you tanglers out there so follow me to make sure you don’t miss anything! For those of you who have not discovered this beautiful art form, find all about Zentangle® here!

Full disclosure! I work for Tombow USA as their Signature Designer. I am financially compensated for this consulting job and receive Tombow Products on a regular basis to review and write about. The opinions here are completely my own based on my experience.



For the tangle posts I need to apologize if you have already created a similar tangle. It’s hard to keep up with all you creative tanglers creating new and wonderful patterns! I didn’t find any similar tangles to this one, let me know if you see one!


‘Po Lin’ is a new tangle that was discovered in a window at the Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. It is one of my favorite places to visit while in Hong Kong. I have been to the site, which also features Big Buddha, many times and each time see something new!





I named this tangle ‘Po Lin’ after the monastery founded in 1906. The words Po Lin beautifully translate to ‘Precious Lotus’.



For the modern calligraphy in the title, I have used Tombow’s Fudenosuke Brush Pen, Hard Tip. You can download a FREE Lettering Practice Workshop from the Tombow website here to learn modern calligraphy with this pen!

For drawing this tangle, I used Tombow’s new MONO Drawing Pens. They come in 01, 03 and 05 tip sizes. They are juicy with nice strong tips that don’t bend if you are like me and heavy handed when drawing.

For shading the tangle, I used Tombow MONO Drawing Pencil. These artist grade, extra-refined graphite pencils produce superior shading of your tangles. They come in 14 point strengths from soft 6B to a hard 6H. The shading here was done with B and 2B MONO Drawing Pencils.

It is fascinating how travel experiences can inspire creativity and reveal beautiful patterns in unexpected places. The connection between Po Lin Monastery and the development of a new Zentangle design makes this post especially engaging. I recently came across lux online while exploring creative online discussions, and it offered another interesting perspective on discovering inspiration through everyday experiences.

The element that makes a survival game PokéBonk enjoyable for me is the opportunity to learn something new every time I try it. It seems like PokéBonk helps its players with this because of the combat based on movement and character upgrades. If the run does not go well, the players can think over their decision, find another approach to the problem, and come back with the new knowledge about the game.

I prefer balanced discussions about big mumbai apk rather than exaggerated opinions. Every game can have both positive and negative experiences, so discussing things honestly and based on personal experience makes the conversation much more useful.

I was checking dhani win game online and wanted to know if the experience is the same on the browser and the app. Is there any difference in speed, result updates, or features between both options?
