Stripes

Our challenge from the Diva this week is to use stripes as our string and create a piece of zentangle art within those lines.

Many tangles have a stripe of some sort running through them. I did a tile using five of those tangles, and ran the stripes through the whole tile.
Tangles: Coaster, Combs, Posh, Shattuck, Unyun

In one of my classes (small mandalas) we use the tangle Tortuca as a ring around another tangle. I tell the students that Tortuca is usually done in a square grid, but that any tangle based on a square grid can be used in a single row, straight or curved. So I did that in the next tile, using several square grid tangles. You can see where I got into a zen flow of filling Cubine's little squares and filled one in Screen too!
Tangles, top to bottom: Cadent, Warble, Knightsbridge, Screen, Cubine,
Bateek, Ninja Stars, Knightsbridge again, Yincut, Earth Rising, Tortuca

The square grids bordering has me so excited........ husband's decided he's sending me to be CZT trained next year - beyond my wildest dreams all the way from UK.

  9. I really like both of these = love how you transitioned from one tangle into another in the first, and in the second, my fav part is the 'combination' of cubine and bateek. Very inspirational and I learn a lot looking at your work.
