Please go to my blog, "All Tangled Up" @ www.ronniesz.wordpress.com for a full description of these Zendala Dares. Thanks.
These mandalas are all Erin's templates; left to right: top row - #45, #58, #59; bottom row: #53, #54, #55. Each zendala is tile size traced onto 8 x 10 watercolor paper.
Totally hand drawn zendala on a 3.5" tile. No template, ruler, compass. I learned how to do this in a book I just got called The Art of Zentangle.
Just felt like having lots of colours to this challenge this week...and just doodle away. Sorry, picture is a little blur.
I thought the pattern for this Zendala looked like a pinwheel, so I used the tangle Pinwheel on the outside. Not sure it looks like a pinwheel anymore. I also used Inapod and Paradox.
This mini-Zendala (3' punched circle) I started as a demonstration of Flux for one of the classes; now finished it with Sanibelle. It makes me think of a forest - moss and lingonberries....
I had fun with this one...and I used 5 tangles I've never used before!
Tangles, clockwise from the top: Tink, Punch, Knyt, Sunflower, Huggins, Flutter Tile, Nzeppel, Lanie and Drupe in the centre.
(I'm debating putting a rope-type tangle around the edge to create the Mandala shape...thoughts?)
I'm pleased with the way this Dare turned out. I think my shading is improving. I used the Tangles Baton, Paradox, Ixorus and Tagh to complete this design. I would love to hear what you think! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Thanks for looking at it.
Erin's Dare was to draw the Zendala using only pencil. MIssion accomplished. Thanks for viewing. Your comments are welcome.

This week's challenge was to use a brand new tangle called "schway". It's a really cool tangle that I found a bit difficult to get the hang of. As you can see, it gives a cool effect of arrows going in both directions.
Fun challenge!
Thanks for visiting!
