Random string, random tangles. I have a small set of plastic french curves that I use for a variety of things. Today, I used the largest one to create the string on my tile. It works well to create graceful lines that aren’t too complicated. After drawing the string, I randomly picked tangles, assinging them to the various spaces as I was going along. When Kettelbee came up, I immediately chose to put it on the central-most line. I also chose to put the Diva-Dance in the two smalles spaces.
Random tangles, random string. The string on this tile was a square with corners that run off the edge. Superimposed on the square were various sized circles, one on each side. This set the stage for using medallion-style tangles in each circle. Since I had gotten Idoze and Aura-Leah during the random tangle draw, it was really obvious where they would go. For the background I had a choice between a grid tangle and Pixoze and Amaze. I chose not to use the grid tangle because I felt it would lessen the impact of the four main motifs. Using what I learned doing the “One Zentangle A Day” book recently, I decide to place the tangle with the darkest tone, Amaze, in the corners and the lighter of the two, Pixoze, in the center.
Today’s tile for Zentangle’s “Bijou Be Well 2025” project features the tangle Idoz. The Bijouism for the day is “Add love”. The video for this tangle is here .
