This was demonstrated in the Zentangle video on the larger black Apprentice tiles, with Paradox as the reticula, or framework, and Striping filling the triangular sections of Paradox. I stuck with the regular black tiles, and used Paradox but filled it with Tripoli (with a bit more Paradox in the centre). Finished off with a touch of white charcoal shading.
This was a slightly more involved creation, and I chose to pretty much copy the version in the video by Rick and Maria. It starts off with a white tile, with poke root emerging from the corners, clasped by gold bands. Tripoli then fits in 'underneath', in the centre circle. A hole is then cut in a black tile, and flux decorates the outside, in white gel pen, with a circle of gold orbs around the centre. To finish, cuts are made along the edges of the gold bands, and the black tile folded so it can be inserted into the white tile.
This week's 'One' focus is on the tangle Hypnotic. I've seen so many fantastic examples and tangelations on the Facebook page I really wanted to try a tangelation of my own. I didn't think I'd seen any versions with Tripoli, so gave it a go. Paradox fitted nicely in the corners, and I squeezed another Hypnotic in the middle of these. Finished it off with a tangelation of Printemps with Hypnotic too. Here it is in progress - basic pattern finished, then with some extra shading in pen, then with the graphite shading.
