This was quite the challenge. I remember when I first saw this tangle. It looked interesting and had plans to do it but never quite got around to it. Sorry that I did not. I like the tangle but it will take a lot more practice before I can do it and feel the "Zen". This was work to do this tangle. I got lost a couple of times but decided to push ahead. I do not like to throw out a tile and as in Zentangle® fashion, there are no mistakes, only unplanned opportunities. This was actually a fun one to put in variations and shade. If you follow my posts very often you know that I do not say that often. Here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.
Tangles used: Featherfall, Scroll feather, the flower is one from the
"S-ploration" exercise I posted about earlier and of course 8s Parte Dos.
Now I plan to spend some time looking at all the great pieces that others have submitted. I only looked at a few before. Will have more time to view slowly and take them in. If you have not all ready, go to
I Am the Diva to look at all the pieces submitted.
Thanks for visiting. As always comments are welcomed, encouraged and appreciated.

ReplyDeleteIt was a challenging tangle Donald, but the trick that worked for me was rotating the tile!!
