Joey's Weekly Zentangle Challenge 53 - Border

Inspired by her favorite tablecloth with a border and floral interior, Joey challenged us to use a border tangle and then add tangles inside, repeating the pattern. After I finished my tile, I noticed Joey said to repeat the pattern. Oops. So here’s my (incorrect) tile with Balo as the (bottom) border tangle, then N’Zeppel and […]

Joey's Weekly Zentangle Challenge #48 - Polka Dots

This week Joey’s Weekly Zentangle Challenge #48 moved away from hearts to polka dots. She challenged us to place dots on our tiles and fill each one with a different tangle—no overlapping dots, no repeating patterns. Well, my tile strayed from the rules. Although I don’t have overlapping dots, I do have repeated tangles. 🙂 […]

Adele Bruno challenged tanglers to tangle a Zentangle tile using String Pattern 095 by Sandra Hart. The string resembles various sizes of a Halloween favorite—candy corn. I was thrilled to see N’Zeppel as a suggested tangle as we practiced it […]

It's a String Thing Tangle Challenge 44 hosted by Tickled to Tangle

This week Adele Bruno of Tickled to Tangle challenged us to mix two grid-based tangle patterns and two free-flowing ones. Anne Marks created the selected string design. Turning the string on its side reminded me of a fish in the sea. Or a symbolic image to fathers who are/were a great catch. Tangle Patterns Neuron Navaho ‘Nzeppel Nipa […]
