My Janurary 2015 Daily Zentangle Tiles

1. #zentangle 2015-031, played with a Mr. E monotangle last night., 2. #zentangle 2015-031, "One Zentangle A Day" day 14. As usual, I jumped right in a tried to do chainging around tight corners right on a tile. When will I learn? I used TanglePattern string 12 for this one., 3. #zentangle 2015-030, yesterday's tile uses the 4 patterns out of "The Art of Zentangle" that were not on Tangled Patterns -- Zippee, Poppet (variation), Roxi (which so far I cannot like my version of) and Twink with a little Betweed thrown in., 4. #zentangle 2015-029, sort of. This was more from Zenspirations pattern and lettering book., 5. #zentangle 2015-028, "One Zentangle A Day" days 12 & 13, deconstructing patterns to flow from one to another - Bales to Chilon to Florz. I used string 140 from TanglePatterns., 6. #zentangle 2015-027, decided to give yesterday's patterns another go at a smaller scale. Also, kept Echoism simpler. Still not a favorite, but I like this one much better than last night's!, 7. #zentangle 2015-026, stepping out of my comfort zone and going larger scale with "One Zentangle A Day" day 10 patterns, Echoism, Finery and Fluke. Not loving it :-(, 8. #zentangle 2015-026, after having watched the YouTube video for Auraknot the other day I had to play with it. I added a little Tipple as well., 9. #zentangle 2015-025, made last night with Vega (need to learn how to so that one on harder curves as well as ending it) and Plurk from "One Zentangle A Day" Day 8, plus BB. I think I nailed the shading even though I totally biffed Vega., 10. #zentangle 2015-024, of course after the four exploratory exercises for "One Zentangle A Day" my official tile is probably my least favorite thing I did. Ha! Figures!, 11. #zentangle 2015-023, "One Zentangle A Day" day 6, mooka, amaze and flux with a sprinkle of static and printemps. I hated this one at so many points. I don't hate it now that it is shaded, but I don't love it either., 12. #zentangle 2015-022, "One Zentangle A Day" day 5 where I learned isochor and printemps (again) and adding sparkle to tangles (which needs practice)., 13. #zentangle 2015-021, "One Zentangle A Day" day 4, featuring shattuck, nipa, and jonqual. I kind of blended my shattuck with yesterday's festune., 14. #zentangle 2015-020, "One Zentangle a Day" day 3 tile, a day late because of the class I took yesterday. Being forced to work with these more organic shapes is helping be a bit looser in following my string., 15. This was the second tile we made in the beginners #zentangle class with Sue Clark. 2015-19, 16. Took my first #zentangle with Sue Clark of Tangled Ink this afternoon. This was the first time I used and official tile! 2015-018, 17. #zentangle 2015-017, not so thrilled with today's, I think due to the string I used. Oh well, perhaps it will grow on me. The darkness in the bottom right is shadow from photographing after sunset., 18. #zentangle 2015-16, day one of "A Zentangle A Day." I did this one last night, but couldn't photograph it until daylight., 19. #zentangle 2015-15, tile 7/12 which completes the 12 tile mosaic. I'll scan in the tiles and put them together on the computer tonight., 20. #zentangle 2015-014, tile 12/12 with just no. 7 left!, 21. #zentangle 2015-013, tile 3/12, only 7 & 12 remain!!!!, 22. #zentangle 2015-012, tile 11/12 with just 3, 7 & 12 left to tangle! The little slivers on the right I'm going to do with tile 12 since they are so tiny., 23. #zentangle 2015-011, tile 10 of 12, only 4 more tiles to tangle in the mosaic! I've learned a few things for next time., 24. #zentangle 2015-010, tile 4 of 12 in the mosaic. Not my fav, though I did stumble into the tile design and quite like the result of my mistake, so that is a win :-), 25. #zentangle 2015-009, my 6th of 12 tiles in my first mosaic string. I did carry one pattern across the tile line. That was a first for me, but it felt right., 26. #zentangle 2015-008, tile 1 of 12 (the fifth tangle of the mosaic so far), debating about blackening the frame if the ring on the right..., 27. #zentangle 2015-007, slot 6/12, part #doodlepatterns filtered random button and part improv, 28. #zentangle 2015-006, jumping ahead of myself, as my first tangle today was done during an early morning bout of insomnia. After breakfast I craved my routine of tangling while I finished my carafe of coffee. I'm also a wee bit excited about this larger ta, 29. #zentangle 2015-005, this tile is diagonal to yesterday's in the larger mosaic. I did reference the neighboring tiles to figure out circle sections from background sections., 30. #zentangle 2015-04 I cut up a new parent sheet yesterday and drew a big string on it before cutting, so today and the next 11 days will make up a big tangled mosaic. I am randomly drawing my tiles and using a filtered random button on the #doodlepatterns, 31. #zentangle 2015-003, the case of random not always being your friend :-) That's okay since part of this exercise for me is that things don't always have to be masterpieces. #doodlepatterns iOS app random button, 32. #zentangle 2015-002, since it is due back at the library today I used a D100 die set and Joy of Zentangle., 33. #zentangle 2015-001, #doodlepatterns iOS app filtered random button34.
