One of the lovely things about Zentangle is that it isn't supposed to BE anything. Even more, it's SUPPOSED to NOT be a something. You don't try to draw a geranium or a cocker spaniel that ends up looking nothing like the picture in your head. Zentangle is simply a lot of beautiful patterns playing harmoniously together. Zentangle-inspired art (ZIA) is another story; it can be Something if you want. Once in a while I've been working on a zentangle tile that leans heavily in the direction of Being Something, and I often let it take me there. Here are a few of them, which really, correctly, are ZIAs.
A LANDSCAPE:
 |
| Tangles: Coaster, Dust Bunny, Flux, Mooka, Riverstones, Sanibelle |
TWO WOMEN:
 |
| Tangles: Aura, Crescent Moon, Flux, Krli-qs, Munchin, Striping |
ANOTHER LANDSCAPE, this one less obvious:
 |
I call this tile 'Fuji' because it reminds me of Fujiyama in Japan.
Tangles: Caviar, Florez, Keeko, Lilypads, Screen,
Shattuck, Tidings, Tipple and dots |
A FLYING FISH
 |
This was ZIA right from the get-go because I began in color.
Tangles: Crescent Moon, Hibred, Msst, Paradox, Printemps,
Shattuck, Striping, Tidings, Tipple |
I love these because you didn't
