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.

Was on Face book this week-end & found a Zentangle with a girls pic in the middle of it, thought it was a cool idea, showed it to hubby & he said ... Do one of you for me for my office ... so this is my 1st attemp at it ... this pic is 36yrs old, when we first meant!

Tangle called 'Buddy' by fellow Australian Dorothy Allison - quite a lovely and simple pattern. Thanks for looking :)
Had to do a color neg. , it's to the point now that if I don't do one or two, I don't feel like I'm finished with the piece. :)
An original ink drawing- a zendoodle (or zentangle) of my left hand! This is for sale here:
www.etsy.com/listing/79246733/zendoodle-original-ink-draw...
I can easily spend hours (and do!) on projects like this. This particulr one took a good few days with a few hours in each session. I love seeing these designs appear. I took photos of this piece as I made it, if you would like to take a look please do, they are here on my blog:
joartyjo.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-hand.html
I drew round a plate, popped my hand down and drew around that, then drew a few wavy lines across the whole thing (that was the scary part!). Then the fun began! Each section is filled with whatever pattern came to my mind at that moment. I can't tell you how much fun I had drawing this and how much I Iove looking at it! This really is one of those pieces that wil have you and your guests looking at and talking about it. It comes unframed, but I think this would look fab in a black or white frame. Or- a really bold coloured frame to match your decor. I really can see this fitting well in so many different settings.
If you look round my shop (www.etsy.com/shop/JoArtyJo) you will see I am a big fan of zendoodles (also known as zentangles). These are 'contained doodles' drawn within lines/shapes, in this case a circle and my hand, and then the dividing lines too. They are considered a form od meditation through art, as while drawing you 'loose yourself' amongsth the lines and patterns. Creating Zendoodles is totally unpredictable and random which is why I love them so much. I have no idea when I begin what the finished item will look like! This piece is therefore totally original and one of a kind.
It is drawn on high quality cartridge paper and measures 11"X11". Then pen used is a 0.3mm black fineliner- one of my favourite things to draw with ;-) The circle itself has a diameter of just under 9", so you could trim it down (or ask me to!) to fit frames from this size upwards.
Done with a .005 Prisma fine liner & #2 Faber Castell pencil for shading ... approx. 6x8 in. Cut out & layed on top of colored paper for background. :)
