Zentangle® Stipes, Paizel, and a Bookmark

Stripes is the challenge over at I am the Diva this week. I was inspired by Laura's use of a round tile, so I thought I'd try a 3Z.
I used Diva Dance Watlz, Hibred/Band, 'Nzeppel, Vega, and Beeline.

The focus tangle for Square One, Facebook, is Paizel by CZT Angie Vandalis. I did this before the Diva challenge and realized that this was done in stripes as well!
Your splash of color is a bookmark that I made at a class I recently completed at one of the local libraries for Zentangle Inspired Art, or ZIA. Simple sample tangles (Hollibaugh, Bales, Tipple) and colored pencils. Everyone enjoyed it and went home with a completed bookmark and info on how to learn more about Zentangle.





Thank you so much for stopping by. And, a special thanks for those of you who take the time to leave me a comment. I enjoy reading each one.

  5. Fun comes in 3's it seems. :-D I like all these. I haven't gotten any of the 3Z tiles yet. I guess that's my next purchase. I do like your striping on it and the tangles you used. I keep forgetting about Vega. I'll have to dig that one out. A very fun tile it is. And your Paizel is wonderful. Another one I haven't used much. Now, how can I put the 2 I haven't used in awhile together....... hmmmm. :-D Another big grin. But I do agree that your bookmark is lovely and that the blue tipple really makes it. Bookmarks are fun to make. Maybe that's what I can do to use those 2 tangles I haven't used in a while. Yeah! Have a great week.

    1. Vegas is a tangle that I haven't used often either. Tipple looks best, in my opinion, when you darken the background. Yes, Melena, bookmarks are a nice thing to apply tangles to :)

    1. I didn't think I would like the triangular tiles, Annemarie, and have been surprised at how much I am enjoying the shape to tangle on. Thanks so much!

  7. Hi Jean, indeed your Square tile could also be an entry for this challenge but it is also very nice what you have done on the triangle tile and wonderful what you did at the library!!!

    1. Thanks, Ria. It was so much fun to see the excitement on each face as they saw their finished bookmark. Each one was looking forward to learning about the "real" Zentangle method, so that was good.

    1. Thank you, Kate. The idea to change directions on the stripes came directly from Laura's round tile.

  10. 2 wonderful stripes tiles. Okay, okay, I am not on Facebook. Hence still, 2 wonderful stripes tiles, Jean. I would need to draw a digital bookmark, all my books are on a Kindle. LOL. Or I could draw a lot of bookmarks, for small and tall imaginary books, and then make a wind chime?

    1. Susie, Susie, Susie, how about making them for friends that still read? You must know somebody, LOL! Or, make them round, put on popsicle sticks and push into your houseplants. Or, make them shorter and attach them to gifts as the tag? Or, well, maybe a wind chime?

  13. Beautiful! Our tiles are actually quite similar (the 3Z approach to stripes) and so I'm particularly attached to yours :)

  16. Great idea to use a 3Z to do your stripes . . . looks great! Love your Paizel tile too and that tangle makes beautiful stripes as well. Love your bookmark and that reminds me that I need to make hubby one, I think he has been asking for awhile. Off I go to get started.

  17. Nice work. Like the Diva Challenge tile but also the Paizel stripes. I don't believe I was able to do a tile in two challenges in a row.

  18. I love seeing the stripes on a 3Z! I haven't tried Paizel yet, but I think I should! I love making bookmarks too! Do you purchase the blank ones, or do you make your own? Teaching Zentangle on a bookmark is a fabulous idea!

    1. The library provided the bookmarks this time, Deanne, but I make my own for myself and my students so I can use nicer paper.

  21. I like all 3 pieces and love the library class idea. I'm doing an introductory class at my library in a few weeks and this is a great follow up idea! Also wanted to say that your 3Z packs a lot of tangles into that triangle, well done!
