Tackle it Tuesday: Y

Today I found a new challenge on the "Artful Creations"-Blog named "Tackle it Tuesday". This week the challenge was to use patterns which start with the letter "y". I chose the following patterns:

- "Y-flip" by Helen Williams
- "Yale", "Yoga" and "Yabbut" by Margarte Bremner

I never used these patterns before and I fell in love with the y-flip. I adore patterns which seem to be threedimensional.

Have a great time and tangle on!

Square One: Auraknots

There's a fantastic group on Facebook named "Square One: Purely Zentangle®" which is an open group to bring us back to the beginning of the pure Zentangle, without any color or something else. Just the pen, a tile of paper, the patterns und your inspiration.

This is my first contribution to this group and my first time drawing the auraknot. I like this pattern really much :-) The other patterns I used are: Printemps, Fescu and Pokeleaf.

I can't resist, so I made a second one a few hours later:

The two other patterns are Beadle Joos and Angel-Fish.

Have a great time and tangle on!

One Zentangle a day: Day 4

Two days ago I finished the fourth day of my "1x täglich Zentangle"-book. As the days before I learned three new patterns and I had to make a Zentangle which includes the three new paterns and if I want some of the patterns I learned the other days before. Here I used Shattuck, Jonqual, Nipa, Hollibaugh and Crescent Moon.

I like the book very well, I'm learning the 101 of tangling and how to draw pretty nice new patterns and effects, I'm a happy camper with that :-)

Have a great weekend and tangle on!

String Thing # 55

This weeks "String Thing"-Challenge was a real challenge for me. I love the string we used (String #055), but I never used "Striped" or the Tangle-enhancer "Sparkle" before. This is what I tangled:

I'm not really satisfied with the sparkle-part, it didn't came out like I wanted it to. But that's ok, if you are planning a Zentangle too much it's not a Zentangle any more, it's called ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art). I will try the sparkle in another pattern in the next time and see how I can make it look more threedimensional :-)

Have a great time and tangle on!

One Zentangle a day: Day 3

I said, I don't have time to do a tangle every day. Well, all I can say is that I got addicted to Zentangle and I had time to do another tile today ;-)
It's the third page of my journal for the german version of "One Zentangle a day" and this time I tried to connect the different patterns and I'm a happy camper with this one :-)

I also treid out a new font for my initials and I'm happy with it now. To make a long story short: It was a happy tangle-day for me :-)

Sleep well and tangle on!

Diva-Challenge # 182 - Stripes

Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, crossway... this weeks' Diva-Challenge is about stripes. I tried some patterns I never used before:

All about "V" by Ksenija Vojisavljevic
Annee by Sandy Steen Bartholomew
Punzel by Zentangle
Entwine by Molossus
Yuan by Margaret Bremner

I have to train Punzel (Chainging), but it was a lot of fun tangling around with new patterns :-)

Have a nice time and tangle on!

One Zentangle a day: Day 2

I told you about the new book I bought to practice Zentangle patterns. Today I made the second chapter and tried out the three new patterns. Then I tangled with the patterns of the last chapter and the three new patterns and tried a free string which came out of my mind. It's still hard for me to connect the patterns, so I separated them.

Have a nice time and tangle on!
