A Tangling Life

In between the 2 "From Reticula & Fragments to Mandalas" tiles - I wanted to try some of the things I learned on a Renaissance Tile. Z2910-2021Oct6 #zentangle #onezentangleaday #keepmakingart https://www.instagram.com/p/CUslUJBvzLJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm working my way through Zen Linea's Masterclass 'From Reticula and Fragments to Mandalas'- although 'working' doesn't seem to be the right word for it - way too much fun! Here's my Burgundy and Gold Mandala #zentangle #keepmakingart #onezentangleaday https://www.instagram.com/p/CUqbZ1oj5oR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today's tile is a finished up 'tangle-to-go' tile started a few months ago. It was a long day driving in rain and wind, and this tile was a welcome break during coffee stops along the way.

I was showing someone how to do Tipple and Printemps on one of my 6x6" tiles. It was only a tiny corner and then I thought - why waste the tile? Z2901-2021Sep27 #zentangle #onezentangleaday #keepmakingart https://www.instagram.com/p/CUX-HKRjhLJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today's tile started with some leftover brown acrylic paint I used up by putting on a tile. The tile's been sitting on my worktable for a couple of weeks - drying to start, and then just waiting for inspiration. I loke how the finish ended up looking almost like sueded. Today I put my gelly rolls and Uniballs to the test. Z2900-2021Sep26 #zentangle #onezentangleaday #keepmakingart https://www.instagram.com/p/CUTdVegj7Yr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yesterdays Tidbits we combined Hollibaugh with Cat-a-line. Super fun, and the ideas that came up were amazing! ZIA187-Z2899-2021Sep25 #zentangle #onezentangleaday #keepmakingart https://www.instagram.com/p/CUQxSD8DS0u/?utm_medium=tumblr

I"m working on a number of ZIA projects right now - just time for a quick daily tile. This one was fun - I randomly selected Enyshou and I'm never sure how to place it unless it's an underwater thing - I can't seem to see it as anything else. Then I started tiny Crescent Moons, but got bored partway around the border, so decided to jazz them up. After that, it seemed like a little bit of Tipple was all that was needed to finish it off. You never know where Zentangle is going to take you! LOL Z2897-2021Sep23 #zentangle #onezentangleaday #keepmakingart https://www.instagram.com/p/CULsqPbjRLP/?utm_medium=tumblr

In this tile I was drawn to tangles that seemed to have a common theme, either in shape or in line. Z2896-2021Sep22 #zentangle #onezentantleaday #keepmakingart https://www.instagram.com/p/CUIdrrJA2q4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Can you do Zen Buttons on black? Of course you can! Today's Tangled Tidbits class was all about it! The two samples shown show two different ways of achieving the round concentric circles - compass for accuracy, and without for a more natural look. The key to Zentangle is to decide which you feel more relaxed about - sometimes compasses rule for you, and sometimes you want to play around with 'justabouts'. In Zentangle, both work! We had a lot of fun with colours, too! Z2891-2021Sep17 and Z2890-2021Sep17 #zentangle #onezentangleaday #keepmakingart https://www.instagram.com/p/CT8FVntgknV/?utm_medium=tumblr

We'll be playing around with Zen Buttons in Friday's Tangled Tidbits group. This is just a warm-up; Friday's version will be quite different. Z2888-2021Sep15 #zentangle #onezentangleaday #keepmakingart https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2XXFtj2cr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Random string and random tangles for this one. Hmmmm - something tells me more Molygon practise is coming..... :D Z2887-2021Sep14 #zentangle #onezentangleaday #keepmakingart https://www.instagram.com/p/CT0n6i7j4AP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Took me all summer to finish this hat. No particular reason; just different projects kept popping up to take its place. Is it too late to put in the Artisan Gift Shop for this year?
