In preparation we chose six zendala tiles; I used three white and three gray. We divided them according to a special tool - a "markus operandis" designed by Maria Thomas - included in the pack (also available online). We then drew a 'peapod' and chose from a selection of 'organic' tangles which we did these on all six tiles. I chose Springkle and Sampson, because I've only rarely used either one. We're working with dark green (olive or hunter) and a light green (apple) 05 size pens.
For the next six days, we added a particular tangle to each tile.
DAY ONE - HOLLIBAUGH
DAY THREE - KNIGHTSBRIDGE
I decided to do Knightspeak, and realized later that it was a bit empty compared to the other tiles, to I added Knightsbridge afterward.
DAY FOUR - AURAS to resemble malachite
DAY FIVE - ZONKED
One of my favorite tangles, but I do it very differently than demonstrated in the video!
DAY SIX - DIVA DANCE with very random filling.
For some reason I didn't get a photo of these tiles. You'll see them in the final reveal. :)
Here is my piece, finished. You can see many more on the Zentangle Mosaic app.
It was a wonderful project and I like the variations you made very much!
ReplyDeleteI SOOOOO love the MB variations!!! :) Did you, by any chance, do a little trimming on these Zendalas???
ReplyDeleteYes, I did, Jan. I couldn't bear to loose those bits of Springkle and Sampson! The zendalas didn't fit together perfectly (and now you'll look for where!) but it doesn't matter. :)
