Diva Challenge #123- "Guest Post- Is it a Zentangle?"
The challenge for this week is: do a Zentangle® without using existing patterns or tangleations. And, what are your experiences while doing so?
This ZIA is drawn on 8.5″ x 8.5″ white card stock with a Micron .01 Pen. I colored it with fine-line pens and Prismacolor pencils. I used graphite pencil to shade.
I normally list the names of the tangles, but since I made them up, they have no names. I started with the border and then drew the string. I will say that the pink chain-links in the lower right corner are a pattern I haven’t seen on the internet (although there are other chain-like and Celtic patterns to draw). This particular design was taught to me by my late husband when we were teenagers, and I have been drawing it for years (too many to state.) At some point, I may do a step-out (step by step instructions) for it and name it, but for today, it came to mind so I used it. The pink design (center left) is a series of embellished letter “p‘s.” (you may have to flip it around to discern the letter p.) The other designs (or tangles) are just ideas that came to mind, so I drew them. I did practice a couple of them on scrap paper before committing to the card stock, mostly to discern the space I would need.
