She created a thread on a forum dedicated to fountain pens, showing some of the art she has produced using fountain pens and mixing zentangle components with Wild Gears patterns. She also shows photos showing how her Wild Gears have totally invaded her living space.

I love how the soft colors and washes soften the geometric patterns, and the hand-drawn components fill the spaces.

She also offers some tips on using Wild Gears which you might find helpful whether or not you’re using fountain pens.

Read her thread at this link.

She’s also on Instagram as @pinkinkfountainpen where you can find more of her work.

Thanks Samantha, and I’m so sorry it took me a year to dig your email out of my To Do box!

If you’re new to Spirograph and are trying to figure out how to make it work, or you just like watching patterns unfold, you’ll enjoy this video. It has been speeded up, so don’t expect your own efforts to go so quickly. Take your time!

Here are links to Mahesh Pendam’s website and Facebook Page, so you can show some Spirograph love.

For the pens I used Stabilo Point 88 Pen Set.

I made each Spirograph with either a spirotot or Spirograph set, and then cut them out individually with an exacto knife.This part was very time consuming because of all the ridges and corners of the designs.

Then I separated them by color so I could find a layout that I liked. Once I did this, I glued them on to a thick piece of paper with a regular glue stick.

When I had made the Spirographs, I made them on regular sketchbook paper. What my art teacher later told me was that I should have used acid-free paper, so the colors wouldn’t fade or the paper turn yellow.

Hopefully that won’t happen any time soon!

Here are some more pictures Ariella sent. You can see how carefully she cut out each design with the exacto knife. I can only imagine how painstaking a job that was, but it really works in the finished collage, which is luminous. Great job, Ariella, and thanks so much for sending your story and photos!
