My first attempt at creating a gem, and I decided to do a monotangle to avoid overwhelming it. Done using Procreate. I kind of reminds me of the Dial Home Device from the Stargate SGC tv show 😂
Cardboard slotted puzzle blanks, bought in a crafts shop (coaster-sized). Started tangling & assembling :) Monotangles, mostly - also for demonstration at workshops. Hollibaugh.
Sakura Gelly Roll Shadow pen; gold and black.
I still think that the description of Sakura pen being gold with black is not really black; more a brownish sort of mushroom colour. But lovely pen to use, and the gold effect is wonderful.

Technically I think this is a variation. Qudele resulted from morphing two tangle patterns (Adele and Quip) in the Venntangle challenge. Step 7 is not shown in this example. After the circles and squares are in place randomly shade the spaces with varying shades. See the monotangle for the seventh step.

not quite "monotangle" but when a tangle talks...we listen!

She sells sea shells down by the sea shore... When I propped my Bunzo Monotangle on the palm tree to take some photos, this tongue twister just popped into my head. I think the beach is definitely influencing my art this week!
Mini-Zendala on 3' circle punched out of watercolour paper - preparing for a demonstration this Sunday. It will be a pancake brunch, hence circles :) Spiral string from Diva's challenge #160. It was supposed to be a Knase monotangle, but then Fassett crept in...

Adventures in Monotangles #13 Shard
I haven't used Shard for quite some time so it was good to revisit it - I had forgotten how lovely it is :)

Decided to try this tangle in a spiral - used the back of a coaster - love picking up coasters from different clubs and tangling on them :)
thanks for your visit

Wow! This was so fun to create! "Tied Up in Knots" is my entry for the "Zengo" game that starts in February in the ZIA Yahoo Group. I was given a list of tangles and the tile needed to be made with your choice from that list. I looked over the list, checked out the patterns on the internet, and then decided on a few patterns I thought might work for the idea in my head... I looked at my list one more time and crossed off all the "possibles" and decided to keep this as a monotangle, using only Mak-rah-mee. I have never drawn this pattern so I thought it would be fun to learn. It was! I can't wait to incorporate it again into future pieces. I used watercolor pencils to create the light wash on the heart. It seemed like the perfect design for Valentine's Day. (This is another one I'm going to be very sad to see go... I hope the recipient treasures it... sigh...) More details on my blog here...
Zentangle for beginners swap, sent to @manders2280. Used string 003 from tanglepatterns.com
Since this is really busy string, I decided to go with monotangle using web pattern.
Monotangle. Shaded with a Sharpie Silver marker (not so good: too opaque), the outline shaded with Fabrico.
Laura challenged us to do a monotangle using paradox. I love this pattern because it makes such a complex looking finished piece and because it takes all my concentration to keep on track!

Congrats to a The Diva, Laura Harms, on her 200th Challenge!! Such an amazing and inspiring woman!
I am pleased to have been part of her challenges in years past and have seen so many beautiful tangles. Thank you, Laura, for your time, for sharing your family, and for challenging me many times to step out of my comfort zone and try new things.
This challenge was to use our go-to tangle in a Monotangle (but it didn't seem finished so I "branched" out a bit! LOL) My go-to (or Mac'n'Cheese Tangle as Laura calls it) is Printemps. I included the number 200 in nine places within the tangle to celebrate this milestone. Can you find all nine?
Stop by Laura's blog at iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com and join the fun! She's giving away goodies too!!
I have recently discovered Zentangles and even more recently, the Diva Challenge!
Because I think it would be more of a challenge, I have decided to start from the very beginning XD
This is my take on "Simplicity": a square representing the official Zentangle logo, or a tile with loads of negative space on the inside. I decided to make it a monotangle to place added emphasis on 'simplicity'. I have used the "Cockles & Mussels" tangle as it is simple to recreate but looks rather complicated - which to me is the essence of tangling.
The Weekly Challenge can be found here: iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/
This week we were challenged to use the tangle, "birds on a wire". I decided to do another Monotangle in order to get to know this tangle better.
Thanks for looking!
This Diva Challenge was brought to us by guest blogger Elisa Murphy. The challenge is not only to use 'Nzeppel in a monotangle, but to realize that it is made up of a "balloon" that doesn't quite fit in to the space given. Also, think of when we have felt that we didn't fit in to whatever situation we are or were in.
I think I've never fit in to the "normal" society. My dad was a California State Park Ranger and we lived all over California, moving to many wonderful places. So my fit in place has always been the outdoors, but not so much with places in "society". But, our not fitting in can be different, like the different grids in this monotangle. It can be straight and following the rules, or it can be variations of wonky. I think the wonkier versions are actually more interesting. I think I've lived my life in all those different variations. I'm sure there are more thoughts on this, but that's all I've got right now. Enjoy.
And don't forget to visit the Diva's website at www.iamthedivaczt.com/ to see how others feel about "Not fitting in".

Pattern: Tri-O (Hanny Waldburger)
This Challenge is drawn on purple cardstock with a white gel pen. I also used a purple glitter pen but this doesn't show up on the scan. It's almost a monotangle except for the circles and a few additional changes. Thanks for viewing. Your comments are appreciated.
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.
