PP08 - Day 5a - Fescu, Fife, Gourdous, Tripoli
At this point in this project pack Maria tackles a large project: Creating on nine different black Zendala tiles. This is shown across two different videos, Part One and Part Two .
If you bought the Project Pack 8 kit, you have a single, black Zendala tile with a random string. You will have to scroll through the videos to find the parts that apply to the tile you have.
I have a full set of prestrung tiles, so I am planning to do all of them.
I began this project by creating a black bijou tile for each of the tangles illustrated in the chosen colors. You can see them here . I thought it sould be a good idea to practice the tangles using the Moonlight pens, and have the little tiles as a reference as I was creating the larger, circular tiles.
Even if you aren’t doing this PP, I think it’s a good idea to watch these two videos. The lesson here is to use the lines of the string as spaces for tangles, but you are not creating an actual mandala…Instead, you end up with a beautiful, jewel-toned work of art-in-the-round. You could just as easily use this idea to create on a white Zendala tile using your micron pen.
I think this is a fantastic idea and removes the stress of trying to create a symmetrical tile!
I found this very freeing and really enjoyed the process without the stress of making everything match up. I did copy the colors and tangle arrangement used in the videos, so that I could just enjoy the process.
I love the finished product.
