Reticula/Fragment part 2

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #295: "Reticula/Fragment part 2"

Tangling instead of drying the lunch dishes!

Just for effect I tried a little watercolour paint, the background is pencil, the ring didn't work out quite right but happy because Zentangle is abstract and I enjoyed tangling the towel. This fragment is Q3 in Primer Vol-1.

Playing with a ribbon

It's time to start thinking about Christmas cards so I have been playing with the idea of a ribbon and gold baubles. Not sure yet where this idea will end up.

Zendala with a fold

Maria Thomas has been posting this fabulous idea on Zentangle Mosaic, just fold about a third of your zendala tile so it's sits up. Of course it's not just an ordinary fold but has the special name of phiphold.

EAXY

The Diva's
Challenge #292: "UMT - EAXY by Nadine Roller, CZT

EAXY is a very nifty tangle but I found it a bit tricky to stay even and lost my way......... thankfully Zentangle is perfect for lost paths and heading off in new directions so off I went happily veering into munchin.
My 2nd tile really went off plan, if you look closely it started OK with EAXY but then just went whoopsie, it was fun though, I kept on drawing X this way and that!!

1 square 1 round

Playing with colour backgrounds.

Adding colour brings decisions and questions to our tangling. Sometimes we don't want to make to many choices just stay focused on tangles that come to our thoughts. But adding colour is so much fun, especially creating gems! Subtle splashes of colour is a beaut way to add interest too.

The 1st tile has a spill of coffee which I tangled around trying to miss the stain instead of covering it up. I'm interested to hear if you like to cover it or go around?

With the 2nd tile I just added stripes of watercolour with black ink at the bottom plus a touch of gold.
