I do most of my doodling in a 6" x 6" notebook. I had a few that I wanted to submit for the challenge, so I needed to re-draw them onto tiles, as the challenge is only accepting work done on the 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" tiles created for Zentangles - no Zentangle-inspired art (ZIA's) this time.
This is a new Zentangle I created for this challenge.

Woven Bridges Step Out. (Can be considered a variation of W2). |

I wanted to try doodling on black paper. I cut my own circular tiles. I had a hard time finding a white pen, pencil, marker, etc. that would make a sharp mark in a bright white. I tried gel pens, white paint pens, corrector-fluid pens, colored pencils, etc. I finally found my white pen I use for marking fabric to make the best white mark on the black paper. This is the only tile that came out with decent lines.

I enjoy doodling and creating Zentangle-Inspired Art. I find it very relaxing, fun, and helpful to keep my hands and fingers working, instead of being stiff with arthritis.
Keep sketching!
Lots of fun patterns here. I love doing Zentangle as well (I am a CZT) and play with patterns all the time. The black Zendala came out really well. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I struggled so with the black Zendala - it's nice to know you think it's done well.
