Rockpool tangling

Having spent a week in beautiful Cornwall, with its wonderful beaches, I was inspired to tangle a 'rockpool' tile. The barnacles covering the rocks looked like they would make a great tangle, so I've included them in the top-right of this tile (along with some Limpitz by Jo Newsham). I did find another barnacle-inspired tangle - Barney by Sadelle Wiltshire - but this is a different enough I think. Other tangles include Antidots (Anita Roby-Lavery), M-Anning (Teresa Clerc), Kelp (Nancy Domnauer), Scallops (Suzanne McNeill) and Zentangle originals Pendrills, Mooka, Pokeleaf, Pokeroot.

12 Days of Zentangle: Day 2

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.
