If you love the classic, original Zentangle, and you're on Facebook, and you don't yet know about the group Square One, you'll probably want to join. Each week there is a focus tangle. You can participate or not. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't have time. Recently, Aquafleur was the focus tangle, and I went a little crazy.
I've done this tangle before and it's definitely one of my many favorites. Back in January, when Aquafleur was first shared, it was the Diva's challenge and I did both a black-and-white and a colored version. You can see them
here.
Here's the first one I did for the Square One focus.
Some bubbles and ribbons and spirals showed up here. This is one of my favorites.
Here are four more that I did next.
This one amazes me by how symmetrical it ended up. This is another of my favorites.

Recently I blotted some spilled pink wash onto a tan and a white tile.
It turned out that there were Aquafleur hibiscus flowers there!

I tried some Aquafleurs on a zendala tile, and used Glaze ink in the background. I find the dark Glaze inks can add tremendous depth.
You can find the directions for drawing Aquafleur in the Zentangle newsletter
