The Five Elementangles of Nature: Wondrous Water

Hi, Everyone!

So, as usual, before I start, I would recommend you to download the image and zoom in to understand what I am exactly talking about.

A bit about Zentangle:

Here I am again, back with the fourth elementangle of Nature, Wondrous Water! Frankly, I had absolutely no idea as to what I was doing when I started tangling Wondrous Water. I just wanted it to focus on the importance of water in our lives. So I was totally clueless after I completed the focal area of elementangle, the weird red and blue thing to the left. Coming to the topic of that red and blue shape, please do not imagine stuff. Let me clarify. My friends, it is not the alien from Surreal Space (The First Elementangle). Nor is it a mutant which was disfigured by the nuclear radiations of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki Attack. It is, in fact, half a heart combined with half a water droplet. (Oh, hey! It’s a mutant heart!) Well, there is a long story behind that mutant heart…. Are you ready to listen to it? Right, so here we go!

Once upon a time, in a long lost land, there lived a kingdom of water nymphs. They were in charge of the world’s oceans and seas and rivers. (Not the lakes or ponds or streams or brooks or creeks or any other landlocked water body because those were in control of their arch enemies, the ground goblins.) The leader of all the nymphs was named Ductora. Ductora was extremely beautiful, ambitious, and determined to pay any sacrifice to protect the oceans, seas and rivers of the world from the land goblins. Once, it happened that the leader of the goblins, Rexanno, got it into his feathery pea sized brain that he wanted to wage war against the nymphs and gain control over the oceans, seas and rivers of the world. He formed powerful alliances and developed nuclear weapons that could cause mass homicide. The nymphs fought with all their might but were defeated. Ductora couldn’t bear the humiliation of defeat and jumped into her beloved ocean. But Rexanno was determined to kill his enemy of years with his own hands. He followed her into the ocean and shot her with a blaster gun loaded with nuclear material. In the process, Ductora perished immediately, but the radioactive material destroyed the marine life and wrecked havoc with the chemical composition of the water. In an attempt to capture the oceans, seas and rivers of the world, Rexanno destroyed all he longed for. Ductora’s followers couldn’t see their friend and leader die such a cruel death and leapt into the ocean after her. Most of them died because of the radiations, but some of them managed to retrieve Ductora’s heart. They discovered that Ductora’s heart had turned to the very heart in the elementangle, the mutant heart. Rexanno finally realized his horrible mistake and grieved over it. But the damage was done. Rexanno decided to end himself and his race by jumping into the very ocean in which his sin had been committed. Mother Nature decided to forgive him and washed away his sins with Her holy water.

The mutant heart signifies how important water is for human survival on the face of this planet. This heart appears to be floating on the waves of water. These waves of water are the same holy waves that washed away Rexanno’s sins.

The background boasts of a ‘portholes on a ship’ pattern that I created myself. WONDROUS WATER has bounteous patterns of bubbles, waves and droplets.

So, that was Wondrous Water, and I hope you liked it! I will soon be back with the fifth, and last elementangle, and till then, Happy Tangling!
