Tangle Patterns String # 68.  I did it with the new tangle by Wayne Harlow, CZT and lots of variations as I had a lot of difficulty with this tangle as it seems to need to be accurate.

This zentangle turned out very dark with little contrast.  I tried to fix it but with not much success.  Maybe I will try this again sometime.

The string was made with Tangram pieces.  The background is with a watercolour wash.

 The center motif is etoile du matin that I found on the web.  The background is an acrylic ink wash.  The background shapes are drawn with tangram shapes.  I used yincut, betweed, w2 and tuffit for the background tangles.  I tried doing some 'rounding' now that I know what that word means in zentangling.

I used Ripples, Pipink Ciceron, Printemps, Pokeleaf, Mooka and Footlights.  I didn't use a string on this one.  It grew from the center.  The colour is with watercolour pencil crayons.

The inspiration for this Zentangle came from Creative Doodling.  The instructions were for a trading card and I applied it to a Zentangle.  The directions were to:  draw 3 random lines,  colour each space, decorate each line, do remaining spaces.  I used watercolour pencil crayons.

I tried the Diva Weekly Challenge 132 tile with the right hand.  I would do it differently again as the 'sailboats' didn't work out this time.

Diva Weekly Challenge No. 132 "Non Domotangle".  This is my interpretation of a monotangle using Bales and it's variations.  I found that I really had to concentrate onwhere the line was going when I used my left hand.  I guess I should practice oftener in my sketchbook using my left hand.  The yellow is with pencil crayons.  The blue 'water' is with a Tombow marker. When I looked at that version of Bales from a different angle it looked like sailboats on the ocean to me so I added the blue.

 Kristen starts with a K not a C so had to do another one.  I did the K over top of a watercolour wash background.
