No string, random tangles. Squid was the first tangle that came up randomly, so I decided to go without a string, using the “arms” of Squid for the divisions of my tile. But then, the universe decided that today was “challenge day”, and delt me three medallion tangles in a row. Still thinking this could work as a kind of underwater scene, I added those to the tile. Hmmm.
This started out with a leftover tangle, Carpet Daisy, from yesterday’s random tangles. I kept it for today because I wanted to use it with some other tangles for a “botanical” tile. There wasn’t much of a string for this, Just a couple of loops. I filled one loop with the first section of Carpet Daisy. Then the bigger loop, I decided to fill with Chainlea. I wanted to use Plum Leaf so I added several, overlapping at the bottom.
Just add fish. This reminds me of the view into a nicely landscaped aquarium. I guess I still have OdySea on my mind! Zentangle drawn on Strathmore Vellum Bristol using a sepia, Micron pen. Tangles: Borbz Coral Pods Quabog Reef Roxi
Reef, created by Judy Lehman, is a simple but fun tangle. The tops of the shapes provide a nice distribution of dark areas across the tile and help to balance the large white areas. I chose to further embellish each shape, but the tangle is equally effective just plain. Zentangle drawn on Strathmore Bristol Vellum using a black Micron pen. Tangles: Reef
