A tile on a tile

If you check in at the Diva's weekly Zentangle challenge you'll see that I am this week's guest challenger :-) and I've challenged everyone to create a "Tile on a Tile".

A while ago I started a Zentangle tile with a very wide border. As I drew, it began to look like a mini-tile on a standard tile, so I developed it in that direction.

Tangles: Hibred, Knightsbridge, 'Nzeppel, Rick's Paradox, Seljuk tangleation, Striping, Yincut and dots

I rather liked it and tried a few more.

Tangles: Chartz, Florz, Hollibaugh, Jash, Miranda, Tidings

One attempt resulted in a black tile on white. The white space needed something more than just the tendrilly lines so I added some shadows of the lines.

Tangles: Chartz, Crescent Moon, Ixorus, Lotus Pods, Rain, Snookums, Strircles

I recently began my first altered book project - a small, square book remarkably titled "Art Tiles", discovered by my eldest daughter, Chloë,  in a second-hand bookstore. I'm sure it will take a while to complete and I think some of these Zentangle 'tile-on-a-tile' pieces may find themselves in it!

Tangles: Caviar, Florz, Flux, Miranda, Mooka, Munchin, Opus, Partay, Screen, Unyun

Tangles: Cockles 'n' Mussels, Festune, Keenees tangleation, Lotus Pods, Striping, Tipple, Zedbra
