PP08 - Day 6 - Doo Dah, Knightsbridge, MI2, Shattuck The video for this tile is located here . To begin this project, I had to recreate this particular string on a white Zendala tile. I didn’t have one in my stash that I could use. Fortunately, it turned out to be fairly easy to do. I found it interesting to divide the tile with the MI2 tangle. In the end result, I’m not sure I like it. I was certainly uncomfortable to work this way.
Several “ribbon” type tangles appeared in the random selection today. I used them to create the “string” and filled in the spaces between with more randomly selected tangles. I think it worked out well! Zentangle drawn on Strathmore Vellum Bristol using a black, Micron pen. Shading done with graphite pencil. Tangles: Doo Dah Ixorus Olb Pais Pokeleaf Snail Twing
Finally, a gold and maroon tile from Eni Oken's Crazy Gold Auraknot lesson. While I liked the idea of this, it turned out harder to do than it looked. I found that the widest marking gold pen that I had was kind of sketchy when used to fill in the solid ribbons. On the other hand, I found one with a very fine line that I liked along for creating the patterned details.
