Parts 21-24 in My Personal A-Z Challenge: K and L Zentangle Patterns

Below are the K-named patterns in both a non-representational piece and in a ZIA Kingfisher. The patterns are: Kathy's Dilemma, Keeko, Knase, Knightsbridge, and Kule.

There is only one L-named pattern: Locar. Below is the non-rep and ZIA (Lionfish) for Locar.

Parts 17-20 of Personal Alphabet Challenge: I and J-named Patterns

Below is my non-representational and ZIA piece for the I-named official patterns: Ibex, Icanthis, Indy-Rella, ING, Isochor, Ix, and Ixorus. Only pattern missing is a new one added after I did the research and started the two I drawings. (missing pattern is called Impossible)

Below are my non-representational and ZIA pieces for the J-named patterns: Jetties, Jonqal, and Juke.

Part 15-16 Personal A-Z Challenge: H-named patterns

Below is my non-representational and ZIA piece for the H-named patterns: Hazen, Hibred, Hollibaugh, Huggins, Hurry (and Crazy Huggins in the ZIA one as well).

Part 13 & 14, Personal A-Z Challenge - G

Below are my two drawings for the official zentangle patterns that start with "G."  They are Glace, Gust, Gourdeous, and Gneiss.  All four patterns are tweaked a bit for my representational piece. The shading for my goldfinch didn't all show up in the scan, but the Glace is represented in the belly feathers.

Parts 11 & 12 - Personal A-Z Challenge (F)

Below are my non-rep and ZIA pieces for the F-named patterns: Facade, Fengle, Fescu, Festune, Fife, Finery, Floo, Florz, Flukes, Flux, Fracas, Frondous.

A couple patterns are adjusted a bit for the ZIA piece, which is a Featherfin Fish.  :-)

Parts 9 & 10, Personal A-Z Challenge

Below are my non-representational and representational (or ZIA) pieces for the e-named official tangle patterns.  (for those who are not familiar with those term, non-rep means it doesn't look like anything specific and the rep/ZIA means it does look like something specific)

The patterns used are: Echoism, Eke, Ellish, Emingle, Ennies, Enyshou, Evoke, and Eye-Wa.  The patterns that are altered for the sake of the ZIA drawing are Ellish (used for the shape and position) and Eye-Wa (used for the diamonds).  The ZIA is a picture of an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, keeping with my theme of drawing something that starts with the same letter as the patterns.

Parts 7 & 8, Personal A-Z Challenge

Below are my two drawings for the D-named patterns: Dex, Diva Dance, Drawings, Dribbetz, Drupe, and Dyon.  A couple of the patterns are modified slightly to fit into the representational pieces.

Part 6 - Personal A-Z Challenge, C-patterns

Here is my representational piece using the C-named patterns listed below in part 5.  I did have to modify the crescent moon pattern, and used a more triangular shape, as it fit the picture better.

Part 4 - Personal A-Z Challenge: B-patterns, Non-representational

I somehow missed posting this, but here's the non-representational tangle with the B-named patterns.

Part 5 - Personal A-Z Challenge, C-Patterns, Non-representational

I did the non-representational one first this time.  So, here it is, using: Cadent, Centipede, Chainging, Chartz, Chillon, Cirquital, Cogwheel, Courant, Crescent Moon, Cubine, & Cyme.

Diva Challenge, #301 (http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/)

Duotangle, using paradox and diva dancing. 

I did this one while I was in a meeting.  It would have turned out better if I'd been able to use a smaller tip pen, but it's ok for a first attempt.

Part 3 of Personal A-Z Challenge: B

Here is the one I just finished for last week, in my personal challenge.  I created a ZIA piece using the B-named official tangle patterns: Bales, BB, Beelight, BeeLine, Betweed, Braze, Bronx Cheer, Bucky, Bumper, and Bunzo. 

The funny thing about this one is I agonized forever last week trying to decide what I wanted to draw, then...DUH...how about a Bee?  A Bumblebee, to be precise.  :-)

Part 2 of Personal A-Z Challenge

Here is the second piece to my A-Z challenge (created on time, but posted late, as I'm now on week 4...you'll see those posts shortly, too).

This is my non-representational piece of all a-named official tangle patterns.  This turned out to be SO much harder for me than doing the ZIA pieces.  I started out with a string, then changed it about three times before I was happy with it.  But, then...I am learning, so that's the point, I guess.  :-)

So, here it is, using AHH, Amaze, Ambler (modified slightly), Aquafleur, Arukas, Assunta, and Avreal

Diva Challenge #298

Here is my first response to a Diva Challenge.  Patterns used are Orbs-La-Dee, Marasu, Ennies, Diva Dancing, and a modified AHH on a grid.

Week One, Personal Challenge

During this first week, I've been learning the "A" named tangle patterns from Linda's List of Official Tangle Patterns (http://tanglepatterns.com/zentangles/list-of-official-tangle-patterns).  I have decided that I will devote two weeks to each letter of the alphabet.

The first week, I went through and created in my book a guide to each of the patterns.  Then, I used the patterns to create a picture that would best be categorized as Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA), as it is definitely representational.  I did end up adding in an extra pattern that I called "Armadillo," which is the center portion of my critter's back.  I plan to have each of my ZIA pieces start with the same letter, thus my subject for this week was the Armadillo.

Patterns used are: AHH, Amaze, Ambler, Aquafleur, Armadillo (mine, not Linda's), Arukas, Assunta, and Avreal. 

I will continue to learn these patterns this coming week.

This week's challenge is to create a non-representational piece using all the above patterns, not counting the Armadillo one.  :-)
