This ValenTangle 2018 tile was created using Spoken as the basis, as we were instructed for Day 1.

Hearts were added to the top and bottom of each arm and then the centers filled with Betweed and Tipple.

I wanted something textural, yet simple for the background, so I used grey marker to fill it with tiny Printemps.

Over all, I love the way this came out. I didn’t have a particularly clear concept in my head when I started, so I just went where the artistic muse took me, and it worked out.

Zentangle drawn on Strathmore Vellum Bristol using grey and multiple pink and red, fine-tipped markers. Shading done with graphite and colored pencils. Highlights were created with white gel pens.
