Dare # 72 and Quib, the New Zentangle
Well, Erin at the Bright Owl really handed us a difficult assignment this week. We tanglers tend to use very fine pens, meaning thin point, for our most delicate work. Occasionally, we might use a pen with a thicker point to do large fill-in areas. This week, we were to choose our "fatty" pen and do absolutely everything with that one pen. All I could find in my studio (that could be a page and a half on its own LOL) was a .6mm = pretty chunky. It does make you think of what kind of patterns would work on the template. I chose Bales, Betweed, and Mysteria:
I also belong to a group of great tanglers who meet once a month to push each other to grow in our art. We did some flower tangles and then worked on the new tangle, Quid:

Mine is the top right one. I have some excellent roll models in my group. They all do such beautiful work.

Nice tiles. And the zendala is great to. I think I have missinterpreted the challenge. I thought you could only use one tip, not that it had to be the fattest one. So I just took my fineliner and did the zendala.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I do think you are correct though. I just didn't see much of a challenge, for me anyway, to use a finer tip than usual. Using a bigger one was more of a stretch for me.
DeleteYour work is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Cathy!
DeleteNice job on the challenge. The way you used the tangles in the template turned out well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donald. I think bales and the beads or pearls worked okay with a fatter pen. I didn't really like working that way too much though.
DeleteNice zendala and the other tiles are fun, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy tangling,

Thanks for stopping by and for leaving your kind comments, Jacque!
DeleteGreat zendala! It has a quite clear and straight-line compositon! I like it very much! All the other tile are lovely, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lonetta. Couldn't get too fancy with this one right?
DeleteVery nice work, Jean! RE Didisch comment: I didn't even notice we were to use one pen thickness! I just did my usual full colour work. I don't think I'd have posted anything had I seen the restriction.Maybe I'll try one.........
ReplyDeleteHAHA Faith, I have failed to read EVERYTHING she says too on occasion. I just get so happy to jump into a new one and then, after I have finished, well, surprise. Thank goodness there are no tangle police :)
DeleteLove all your tangles and think you did an amazing job with this week's Zendala Dare!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie. I don't think it is anything I will do again on purpose any time soon though :)
DeleteYour zendala is beautiful Jean ans so are the other pieces. Great to come toghether from time to time.
ReplyDeleteAlways a treat to see your name pop up in the comments, Annemarie. Thank you!
