The Diva Challenge #252: "String Theory: Tangle within a Tangle"


"The Diva Challenge" this week is to use a tangle as the string and then draw tangles within the tangle.  I decided to use one of the new round tiles I ordered a few weeks ago but had not used yet.  I also used my regular Sharpie black pen.

In the monthly "Zentangle" newsletter I received this past week, a new Zentangle pattern was introduced called "Molygon."  New challenge, new pattern, new tile -- I could not resist.  Above is a photograph of the result of Molygon with Crescent Moon.

As always, comments and criticisms are welcomed.

In keeping with the theme of "Bringing it Back to the Old School," I drew some of my favorite Zentangle patterns including Crescent Moon, Purk, Paradox, Fescu, Cadent, Tipple, and Starry Night using a Sharpie black pen.

2016 - Symphony in Strings - A Study in Strings - Day 3


I started out today's tile with a black Sharpie fine point pen.  The two round figures began as Jetties and morphed into Purk and Onomato/Paradox.  I also drew Knase, Tipple, and Florz. This tile really took on a life of its own.

As always, comments and criticisms as welcome.

2016 - A String Symphony - A Study in Strings - Day 1


On Facebook there is a group called "Zentangle All Around."  The owner of the group has suggested "a string symphony" for 2016.  Every Wednesday she will post a series of seven string patterns, one for each day of the week.  Beginning on Friday, members will create a Zentangle from the string pattern.  

I plan to participate as much as I can.  I created the piece of art above for today.  I posted it on the "Zentangle All Around" group page and decided to go ahead and post it here.

I used Crescent Moon, Hypnotic, Hollibaugh, Fescu, Tipple, and Fedr patterns.  I used a Sharpie fine point black pen.

As usual, comments and criticisms are always welcome.
