This is made on an actual Zentangle tile. I have seen others turn simple dress forms into beautiful Tangles... I tried to start with a VERY simple shape (because as I have said before... I can't draw!) It isn't too bad for my first try... I think it would be easier if I tried it on a larger paper... there would be more room for my pen to "roam."
I bought a frame that had 9 open 4X6 spots on it for my dad and step-mother for Christmas. I made a series of tangles for the frame. The frame was made so it bends the pieces a bit and makes them curved. It was very cool and I sure hope they liked it. Here are some of the pieces I made:
This includes one of my favorite new tangles: FohBraid by Molossus. You can get the steps here.
I recently did my pre-clinical experiences for my degree in education and I had two teacher who helped me a lot with that. I made the following signs for their rooms. They are both about 8 X 6 in size. I matted them on nice card stock and then laminated them. I hope they liked them.
Well... at least L is for MY mom! I made this on a Zentangle tile, sprayed it with fixative, and laminated it. I figure my mom can use it as a bookmark. I like the way the "shinny-ness" turned out!
This is a large piece. It was a full 8 1/2 X 11 sheet. I have received comments on my Flickr Feed about how people like the "sun flowers." Here is the link to the pattern that I used to create them. They are called Fleuve and were designed by JayCadian202. I have used them quite a bit lately. They look nice in many pieces.
The tutorial can also be found on this BLOG.
I call this tile Tangle 101... why??? No idea. When I can't come up with a name, I simply assign them a number! :) However, on my Flickr Feed (here) I had a suggestion of game pieces and double stuff cookies... both very good points!
They were my first attempt at the tangle Soft Stacks by Rainbow Elephant AKA Paint Chip AKA Cindy (link here). I love them! They are so fun to draw!
I have posted these in my Flickr Feed, but I want to get caught up with all of my ZIA on this Blog... so I will be posting a few each day until they are all up!
I love fishnet... but I can't always get the shading perfect. But I really like the dimension I got on the bamboo sticks on this one.

I drew this in October and I was really happy with how it turned out. The eyeballs actually turned out so well that my youngest son (9) covers them up because they creep him out. I guess I must have done something right! :)
