For this tangle, Margaret deconstructed a type of Celtic Knot pattern she saw on a box for the game, Isle of Skye. I don’t know anything about the […]

Brigantine Beach, New Jersey sunset

(If Zentangle is a new concept for you, start here.) This week the Zentangle Diva challenged us to use Ellish, a new official tangle (i.e. direct from the Zentangle Mother Ship). This is a fun one that uses the Holligbaugh technique of “drawing behind”. I added Akoya as a border tangle and also tried drawing […]

Zentangle Diva Challenge #268 – TSA Update Edition

Dawn over the Atlantic enroute to Dublin.

(If “Zentangle” is a new concept for you, start here.) This week, the Zentangle Diva challenged us to add a “bit more black” to our composition than we might usually. I must be feeling a bit distracted by our impending move (on June 10th) because I completely missed the “bit” part and used considerably more […]

May 11, 2016 25 comments

Domed ceiling over the central staircase in the Birmingham, England Town Council Building.

(New to Zentangle? Start here.) I missed posting my response to last week’s challenge. My excuse—I was too busy visiting people in England. My real excuse, I found the tangle Crux difficult to master — and “master” is probably too strong a description for what I eventually accomplished even with the coaching of Margaret Blank—Magibee […]

Edinburgh Castle

[New to Zentangle? Start here.] This week, the Zentangle Diva challenged us to tangle stripes. I did my challenge tile after traveling all night and all day from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the USA to Edinburgh, Scotland via Dublin, Ireland.

Azalea blooming on Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

[New to Zentangle? Start here.] OK, Mother Nature, cover your ears. Here in Philadelphia, it seems that spring might actually finally really have arrived. We’ve been on a weather roller coaster here in the northeastern United States. We had temperatures over 80 degrees in early March, before the official first day of spring, followed by […]

Zentangle Diva Challenge #263 – All the World’s a Globe Edition

April 12, 2016 21 comments

[If Zentangle® is a new concept for you, start here.] I’ll make this short and sweet this week. Our challenge from the Zentangle Diva, Laura Harms, CZT, was to produce a grid on a zendala shape. I admit to “messing up” a zendala tile and then just tracing it so I wouldn’t mess up any […]

Zentangle Diva’s Challenge #260 – Meet My Neighborhood Edition

March 21, 2016 25 comments

Philadelphia sunset

[Zentangle novices, start HERE.] This week, the Zentangle Diva challenged us to use the tangle, Shattuck, in a monotangle. Shattuck is one of my favorite tangles, so this week’s challenge was more relaxing than some of them are. I like to be pushed, to be challenged to expand my Zentangle horizons, but sometimes it’s also nice […]
