3Z practice

I've got lots of spare 3Z-sized tiles now, so I had a break from ValenTangle today and did a few of these. Firstly a really quick one with Flux and Mooka, then a ZenGem surrounded by Mooka, and finally Flux with Paradox in the middle, and surrounded by Printemps. I weighted all the tangles to give an extra sense of depth.

Diva Challenge 248: Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day

This week's 'Diva Challenge #348', from Laura Harms, is for Moebius Syndrome
Awareness Day on Wed 24th Jan. I'll let Laura explain why:

I am the diva - Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT®): Weekly Challenge #348

The symbol for MSAD is a Moebius strip, and the colour is purple, so Laura has suggested using the symbol as the string. The ONE Focus for this week is Riki Tiki (Renee King), so I decided to tangle this around the strip, with a purple gem in the middle. Irradial (Tomas Padros) fills the gaps (coloured with Prismacolour pencils), with purple Printemps (midnight gelly roll) around the outside.

Trying out tan

Another first - tangling on tan. Really not sure whether I like this or not. I coloured the gems reddish orange first, then the Danzer pattern in red. But that really clashed so I tried to make Danzer more orange to match, which seemed a bit better. I think the problem is a lack of tonal range - will try again with different tangles.

Gems on a black tile seem quite tricky too - definitely get a different effect. Might add some more tangles around this one.

Well well well, zen gems are fun!

First tangle with coloured pencils, including zen gems - great fun! Can't wait to do more 😀
