diva's weekly challenge #231

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...)

  1. Lovely pieces. I've always liked Phicops, and Tri-roda is new to me. It's quite simple and pretty.

  5. Nice! Your Phicops is lovely. I always shy away from Phicops because I find it difficult. After seeing your, I need to try harder.

  9. Your Phicops is amazing! Like something from a naturalist journal. Love your Tri-roda. My unsuccessful attempt at ir makes me admire your lovely version all the more! Nice!

  15. Both tiles look wonderful. I love Phicops too, but lately when I have been trying it, it hasn't been playing well with my pen (my fingers giving me fits...lol). The Tri-roda is beautifully done. I've been working on it, but still not proficient enough with it to actually try a tile yet. Yours is very well done. Nice work!
