My Patterns · A new tangle

OMNU

Patterns deconstructed by CZT Rashim Bhargava — a tangle born from fridge magnets, the English alphabet and a two-year-old’s pronunciation.

Six-step deconstruction of the OMNU tangle pattern
The story of OMNU

It all began with magnetic letters on the refrigerator.

I am happy to introduce OMNU, a new tangle that I have deconstructed. It so happened that one day I was trying to teach my two-year-old grandson the English alphabet when this pattern just popped up in my mind from somewhere.

We were playing with the magnetic letters and sticking them on the refrigerator, and suddenly this kind of a pattern came up. Since the letters O, M, N and U have been used to deconstruct it and make it simple to draw, we — my grandson and me — have named it OMNU.

I love the way each U joins differently on the Ms and Ns: some dangle, while some form hearts, raindrops and petals. To each his own. Hope you all will also show some love to OMNU.

How the letters play

Four letters, endless variations

O

The O can vary from o to O — very much in the style a two-year-old pronounces each letter.

M

Each U joins the Ms in its own way — some dangle, while others form hearts.

N

On the Ns, the Us become raindrops and petals. To each his own!

U

At times, the U can become a V too — or anything else your pen wants it to be.
