I
finally got my Fluhrfle and Fredjen post completed and published! Whew!!! It was a doozy. I started composing it on our kitchen desktop computer, then had to switch to my upstairs office computer. where the scanner is, in order to upload my tile. Then I had to utilize the blogger app on my phone to add all the photos I wanted...then try editing on the upstairs computer because editing on a phone is no fun! Complucated. But, DONE. Yay! Check it out!
This post will be short and sweet.
Challenge #277: "Running 'round in Circles" had us drawing circles for our string. This felt like a perfect time to tangle a Zendala® tile. I took some snapshots with my phone so you could see my process.

I did not want to obsess about drawing perfect circles, so I just quickly put some orbs down
and adjusted them a tiny bit with my pencil. No erasing, just redrawing a few segments. |

I kept my tangling simple, and enjoyed the process out on my deck, in the shady area that overlooks the water feature in our backyard. It was a bit warm, but heavenly! I need to tangle out there more often! The sound of the water flowing is so calming and refreshing.
That is all for today! Have a lovely week!
So beautiful! I love Mooka.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dmjkinsey. Mooka is a favorite, but I have a healthy "rsepect" (*fear?!*) of it in that I never quite know how it's going to turn out! But the same is true and desirable for the entire Zentangle® process. No predetermined outcomes.
DeleteNice tile and very sweet of you that you show us the different steps, I like that very much!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ria! I don't always remember to take photos of work in progress, but I think it's fun to see the progression of an artwork, so every now and then I make it a point to document as I go along.
DeleteI too liked seeing the progression of your tile. :) Love your paradox, I need to practice that one more.
