Zentangle® Tint, Baton, and Tri-Roda

As it is the first Monday of the month, it is a "use my tangle" over at I am the Diva, is from Henrike Bratz, CZT. The tangle, Tint, is really a lot of fun to work with. I am in the process of doing an Online pencil coloring class from Kit and Clowder, so my pencils were on the table.

I added just a bit of red sparkle gel pen to the Mooka and between the Tipple.

Facebook's focus tangle from Square One this week is CZT Carole Ohl's Baton.

Eni Oken's tangle Tri-Roda with Copic markers, completes this weeks tangles.

Thank you for stopping by. And a special thanks to all of you who leave me such nice comments. I really enjoy reading them.

Zentangle® Fragment D-1, Chaz, and Abukas

Our guest poster over at I am the Diva this week is Marguerite Samama, CZT. She proposed that we use the Fragment D-1 from the Zentangle Primer book. A lot of you will recognize this fragment as Chaz, a tangle I presented at my CZT training in 2013. I'm looking forward to seeing our creative group play with this one.

I used Prismacolor pencils, Micron pen in brown, and edged in Distress Inks on a 3Z tile.

The focus tangle for Square One this week is Abukas by CharKat, CZT. If you follow the Diva and look at the contributions, you will know CharKat and her beautiful tangling.

To me, many tangles are extensions of others. I always have loved the stacking in Hurry, which I believe grew into Arukas and then Abukas. I have added some of that patterning in between these two. Try adding that style around any shape and have some fun!

And, this week I was experimenting with connecting tangles. Coloring was done with Copic markers. I think I may continue the green from the upper Crescent Moon down into the Hollibaughed area. What do you think?

Thank you so much for always encouraging me with your thoughtful comments, and thanks for stopping by!
