'Fall' or as we call it down under 'Autumn' :))

I used Henna drum, cayke.... you can also see some corn cobs and autumn leaves :)

Zendala dare #19 part 2....I added a rope edge to create the circle needed for a mandala! I like!

Oriental mandala.

Another mini-Zendala (3' punched circle, watercolour/multimedia paper 240gsm). Can't get enough of these lately... Spiral string from Diva's challenge #160. Yet unshaded, and might stay this way :)

So you know when you start working on something and you've invested a fair bit of time and then you have, as molossus says on her Galatea instructions, an "Oh, Poodle!" moment? This happened to me when I realised that this template had an odd number of segments, not even as I'd started out with. Oh Poodle!

In the Zentangle spirit of going with it, I ended up adding the zipper section (and will admit to a tiny bit of post production to remove template lines that impacted on the zipper effect) to try and compensate. I actually find this piece really humorous every time I look at it because of its quirks!

This Zendala uses one of Geneviève Crabe's templates (#5).

Used a plate to trace the circle and my left and right hands and drew strands throughout the circle.

This is the first time I have participated in the Zendala dare. I have only done a few zendala's and really like how they turn out so I thought I'd give this a try. We had to use tangles beginning with H.O.T. or H.E.A.T. I used the flower from Henna Drum, Efilys, Afterglo, and Trimonds.

This week we were asked to look back at any templates that just didn't work for us . . . either the template itself or the finished zendala. Erin called it "the devil that you know".

I didn't have to look hard to find one! I've been playing catchup doing the dares that i missed and DARE #15 was a nightmare for me!! This pic shows the unfinished zendala (upper right) that I finally just gave up on. It also shows the new improved zendala that I did today. Thanks, Erin, for challenging me!! I don't know what it was about the template that I found so difficult on my previous attempts but today it finally worked!! I'll post today's zendala by itself too so that you can see it.

Thanks for looking!!

Thanks to The Bright Owl for the template.

I seem to be hooked on cutting out snowflakes and converting them into Zendalas, thanks to Erin at The Bright Owl. Thanks for viewing. Your comments are appreciated.

Have not done a Zentangle or Zendala for ages and am very out of practice so this is a bit sketchier than I would like - but it's a start!
