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.  :-)
