Zentangle® Rautyflex
The Diva was a day late in posting, so here is Challenge #258 with a "use my tangle" from CZT Kathrin Bendel called Rautyflex. I must admit that this one was quite the challenge for me. I used fine line Sharpies and Inktense watercolor pencils.
If you were looking for my regular Monday post, click here. You can see a gem tile, the Square One focus tile and the Inchie for this week.

Love the colours, Jean! This pattern is open to soooo many interpretations! c
ReplyDeleteI can see where this could go many ways, Cheryl. It reminds me of those geometric coloring book pages where each person could find a different way to work with the design.
DeleteHello Jean!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun twist to Rautyflex! I can't say I've mastered this one, I can't remember anything past the second step :P
I went through sooo many pages of trying to get this one down. This one is a bit complex and I don't see it going into my teaching rotation. I do have some students though who would love this and find it easy. We do have to accept our own limits sometimes though :)
DeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate.
DeleteYour tile presents Rautyflex in a way I never imagined. I found this tangle to be quite challenging, so I was too afraid to deviate from the original pattern. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteOnce you have the pattern actually completed, if you scrunch up your eyes you can see many different sections that you can make the focal point, Suzanne. Thanks for the thumbs up on this one. I almost thought I would never get it done LOL!
DeleteI also had to try many times before I could draw it. It is a difficult tangle, but a nice one and with these bright colours you have made a nice tile!
ReplyDeleteI think many of us had to have more than one try with this one, Ria. However, it is a lot of fun once you get it. Thank you :)
DeleteI love how you used color in this challenge. So pretty. I can imagine this being a fabric pattern.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melissa. I agree, it would be a good fabric pattern. I'll bet there are a lot of tangle patterns that would work for fabric.
DeleteYour's looks like a blanket from the Southwest. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dorita. Usually, I just grab the first pen my hand hits :)
DeleteI like the coloring in your tile. Huge concentration, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteYou aren't kidding, Annemarie. I did go through a few tiles on this one. I will revisit those tiles though in the future. Never waste a tile :)
DeleteI really love what you did with this! Somehow I see ducks in an arcade shooting gallery! But then, I see strange things everywhere...
ReplyDeleteWell, that image certainly brought back memories, Antonine. We should spend an afternoon watching for images in the clouds. Oh, I forgot, we don't have clouds LOL!
Deletethis is a brilliantly innovative take on the pattern - I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Magrats :)
DeleteWow! What a great 3D effect! Love your variation of Rautyflex!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Simone. It is amazing at what a bit of shading can do, isn't it?
DeleteYou've given this tangle a different look and feel, very nice and creative!
ReplyDeleteI felt pretty good about even being able to finally complete it, Ilse. Then, of course, I had to try to find something "different" to do with it. LOL!
DeleteDifficult tangle ! I have tried several tiles but... not published. Yours is a personnal interpretation, and it's fine.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chantal.
DeleteI really like your coloured varaition of Rautyflex1 Wonderful tile!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annette. It was a very interesting challenge. Those are good for us and help us grow as artists :)
DeleteI really like how your Rautyflex turned out. I was almost afraid to try this one after everyone said how hard it is. But I found it not that bad at all. Yes, we are all different. There are others that people say are easy that I just kind get! LOL I finally got mine up today. I did something very different. I'm glad I didn't look at what other people did first though. I might have not posted it.
ReplyDeleteI have trouble sewing a sleeve into a dress. I think some tangles are a visual challenge for some minds. Kind of like math can be challenging for some. Yes, I agree, never look until complete. I will go right over to see what you've come up with :)
DeleteNice tile!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lily!
DeleteVery nice tile - so colourful :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra :)
DeleteYour colors and simplification of the shapes works so beautifully with this challenging tangle. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThere are two or three of what I already call "challenging" and this will be added. I have a few students who just love these and I will teach those tangle to them. However, this is not one that will be in my normal rotation of tangles to use or teach. I love the way it looks, buy it is too frustrating for me to consider it a simple and relaxing tangle, Daniele. So, yes, simple this week LOL!
