Not paper size or pen size, but tangle size.
The Diva's weekly challenge #50 is to make our tangles really large, but to work on the size of paper we normally do. For me, for these challenges, that's a Zentangle tile. Nine square centimeters. Only. Wth BIG patterns.
Actually, I often like starting with big tangles, although it feels awkward. Oddly, it sometimes seems to give more room for more tangles because you can put a tangle inside another one. For this challenge, though, I decided to try to keep it simple. The idea, after all, is to do things BIG. If I put one tangle inside another some things would end up small. Nonetheless, I couldn't resist adding some smaller detail to the Crescent's Moons in my first tile.
Tangles: Crescent Moon, Knightsbridge, one giant Munchin, Tipple, Zedbra |
On the tiles I was doing for Art Every Day Month, I used the classic dots/border/string format. So on my second try for this challenge I did a blind, left-handed string - just for a change!
Tangles: Diamond Panes, Gneiss, Hollibaugh believe it or not, Posh, Seljuk |
Love them both, it's so fun to see the tangles gigantified.
