1 Narwal 1 Zonked Zentangle

I was back down this weekend with heavy coughing, so tired of it. Feeling better today.

I did this black tile last week but never got it posted. I will be posting it over on FB group Square One: Purely Black Zentangle.

I used a white Gelly Roll pen and a Zen Stone that I ordered from Zentangle.com

It's very interesting the way it shades on the black paper.

This second tile is for this week's Square One: Purely Zentangle--Zonked

I used String #175 from TanglePatterns.com

Another Narwal Tile

This was the first tile I managed to do with just shading on Narwal. For some reason I feel I must fill in all the spaces on Narwal. There is also Dragonair, Antidots, and Roxi 1.

Narwal Tangle

This first tile is my first practice of the tangle Narwal. I did it in my Tangle A Day calendar. 

This second tile I did without a string. Free hand Narwal. It grew and evolved as I went along, not exactly what I first had in mind,but kind of interesting. Lots of tangles fitted into small areas.

Now over to Facebook to post in appropriate groups.

WIP with Mandala Designer Toy

At Christmas there was a Co-Present for my Grandson and me. A Mandala Designer by Ravensburger for ages 6+. Last night I cracked open the package, read the instructions and created this Mandala. I better connected some of the lines and thickened some others. It is now ready to be tangled.
It's on a 8 1/4" square piece of computer paper and the circle is 6 3/4" round.
Stay tuned for finished product.

2 Versions of Flip Flap

I have been practicing a tangle by Staub Korn. We're in the same groups on Facebook. Her tangle is called Flip Flap.
It has been quite a posser for me for some reason. The tan tile is going in the Square One: Renaissance Group and the black tile is going in the Square One: Black Zentangle Group.
If you haven't tried out this tangle give it a try, very interesting.

Happy Tangling,

"Tints On Tan" Tile

I achieved this tile by using  "Tints On Tan" Seaside Edition Kit. This technique of Zentangling has been developed by Marty Deckle,CZT and Jenny Perruzzi, CZT. These are two very talented ladies.
I first saw and heard about this method on Laura, i am the diva, CZT challenge blog. I was drawn to this technique because of the colors. My photo may come through as the colors being brighter than they are, but they are very soft. In my opinion something else that makes this so striking is the alternating use of black, sepia, and white inks.
I am going to post this in the Facebook Group Square One: Purely Fun Zentangle.  I will put the email address here and in the comments on my post there in case you might be interested in learning more about this technique.

I think I may have to join the Renaissance Tile Face Group next.

Nine Zens

I have been laid low by a relapse of an upper respiratory infection. Husband and Grandson came down with it this time. We all went to doctor, got shots, more meds, and cough syrup. While I've been down I've been getting in drawing time just not posting time. The last couple of days I finally feel like we're actually going to be well.

These tiles are going to be posted in various Facebook Groups.

These first two are going to the Square One: Purely Zentangle Group. 

The tangle for last week was Printemps. The second tile I used String #176 by Barbara Finwall which I got from TanglePatterns.com  I also used tangles Betweed and Diva Dance.

The next 3 tiles are going to the Facebook Group Square One:Purely Black Zentangle. One the first one I used a Decorese White pen and white charcoal pencil to shade. The tangles I used are: Printemps, Jelly, and Jelly Moon, or variations of on the first one. 

The second tile I switched to a white Jelly Roll pen with white charcoal pencil to shade and used the tangles: Printemps, Pepper, and a variation of Florz.

The third tile was again a white Jelly Roll pen and white charcoal pencil, tangles: Static, Msst, variation of Florz, and Barber Pole

This tile is going to Facebook Group Square One: Purely Fun Zentangle.

I've seen a lot of people practicing with Molygon lately so I thought I would give it a try. I don't think I got the steps exactly right so I need some more practice, but I thought this turned out pleasing to the eye.

I used black Micron Pen 01, Copic Multiliner 01,05, gray PrismaColor pencil.

The next two tiles are for the Facebook Group Square One: Purely Zentangle group. 

This weeks tangle is Heartswell created by Helen from A Little Lime,  I've been an admirer of her work for a long time. She creates with a clean, crisp style.

The first tile is trying to stick to the step outs with a little bit of copying one of her examples to get the feel of the tangle. 

The second tile I'm calling Heartswell Exploded. It just kept growing. I know some of you tanglers out there will know what I'm talking about.

This last and final tile for this post is going to the Facebook group: Tangle Gems: Zentangle Inspired Jewels and Stones.

In honor of Valentines Day I tried my PrismaColor pencils for these red hearts. They are ok, but I'm afraid the Polychromos pencils have won my heart over. (no pun intended)

I didn't think of tangle names I just put whatever bezels came to mind as I went around the tile.

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to look and read through all this post. Maybe I can stay well and do more posts with one project at a time.
