I found this frame and thought it would be perfect for a zendala tile though I don't do them all that often. I chose to do another phicops but this time in a circle instead of another spiral shape. Not really sure if this qualifies as a true zendala or not but that's ok.
I really like the phicops tangle. I find it both easy and enjoyable to draw. That's probably why I tend to draw it so often.
I like the way it fits the frame... though due to the color of the frame with that matte silver finish I may decide to do another tile on a black background to see if I like that one better. But for now, I will leave it as is.
The background tile is a light tan and I used an 01 micron pen with some shading done in pencil... (the frame in the 2nd photo is a 4" frame)
This week's challenge was by Guest Blogger Holly Atwater, CZT and she has presented us with a unique type of challenge which you can find here.
Holly offered us the choice of following one of three meditations or using the Tangle Betweed in our tile. I chose the tangle Betweed and did it as a Monotangle...
For this one I chose to use a 3.5" square black tile with a white gelly roll pen...
So this week the lovely Sharla Hicks, CZT, has offered us a wonderful challenge she has named "The Undulating Tangles in C and S Minor" (for full blog post you can go here).
While I was reading the post I caught the words "series" so I was off and running with that and decided to do two tiles...
The 1st is a revisit of one I did a while back that I inadvertently did backwards... but there are no mistakes in zentangle, right?? This pattern is phicops spiralation and is done on a grey background...
the 2nd tile makes use of the tangle Tri-Roda which reminds me of pepper, a tangle that I really like which is why I chose it when I saw it... (the centers of the tri-roda were colored in silver which is why they may look a little odd at first glance...)
I came across this article and thought it needed to be shared....
Armed with a Sharpie and rocks, this guy is lifting people's spirits every day. There's more on Facebook as well Here...
Here's an excerpt from the article:
So what, exactly, are Doodlestones?
Bryan is an artist and amateur urban archaeologist and treasure hunter,
and he's putting his passions to use by creating small stones decorated
with friendly faces. He hides them in places where people cross paths
as a way to help make his town a friendlier, kinder place. By geotagging
and using location clues in the images he posts on Facebook and
Instagram, he leaves behind a trail of tiny, happy artworks.
I'd like to include one of the images from the article but I'm not sure that I am allowed to do that so you will just need to click the links above to see more!
I think it's a great idea and wish it was something that was done in the New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania area. Maybe Bryan would see it as an opportunity to bring it to the East Coast?
This week's diva challenge has guest blogger Sandy Hunter, CZT, challenging us to focus on Negative Space...
I really liked this one (though I am beginning to say that a lot lately) and I can't wait to see how others interpret this particular challenge!
I chose Indy-Rella for my tile... or is it Isochor?? I can't tell which one it is...
