The Diva's Weekly Zentangle Challenge #246 - Monotangle Trees


This week's challenge is a guest post from Dilip Patel, the first Certified Zentangle Teacher from India.  He asks everyone "to choose any tangle pattern of your liking and create a tree using only the chosen tangle over strings representing a tree."  In his post, he states he wants us to "create Zentangle Forests" and "there could be no better thanks giving process towards Nature."

I decided to use the Onamato pattern for my tree.  I used one of the new black Strathmore 400 Series Artist Tiles I purchased a few weeks ago.  The tiles are actually 6 inch x 6 inch (15.3 cm x 15.3 cm) 60 lb paper.  I cut them into 3 inch x 3 inch (7.62 cm x 7.62 cm) squares, a little smaller than the traditional 3.5 inch x 3.5 inch (8.9 cm x 8.9 cm) Zentangle tiles, but they work well for me.  I used a Sakura Gelly Roll 08 pen.

Yeah!!  This is my second challenge in a row.  I hope this is the start of a new habit.

As always, comments are appreciated.
