I wanted to do something with Dingbatz today, rather than using my standard daily method. I pulled out my copy of "Zentangle Dingbatz" by Brian Crimmins, CZT and started flipping through the pages.
The first thing that attracted my attention was the border on the tag on page 124, so, after drawing a simple border around my tile, I added the Mooka design. Then I decided to repeat the Mookas and create a kind of square in the center of the tile, which also created the triangles in the corners. The corners were a perfect place for Diva Dance!
I wasn’t sure what to put in the center. Since I had already done a lot of “rounding” on the tile, and I had the corner “flower” shapes, I wanted to add Aloha, which I thought would work nicely.
I didn’t want to fill the center with it. After looking at the tile a bit, I thought some more Mooka would divide the center up nicely. And it created two extra places which I could fill with Poke-Root and Flux!
A bit of shading for drama and tada! My version of a full-tile Dingbatz!
