Zentangle® – November 2016

We were traveling for more than a week in November – but that did not slow we down creating Zentangle® tiles at all. I’ve chosen 10 tradition tiles from the collection. I like colored tiles and inks…although I tend to return again and again to black as my favorite it. This month I have tended to not use as much shading…that is something to improve in December.

I did some not traditional Zentangle items in November. My favorite was owls. I got the idea from a Sue Jacobs blog post and promptly dug through the recycle basket in the upstairs of my housed and found a lot of empty toilet paper rolls to work with. The Ultra Thin Point Sharpie worked well for me. I positioned the owls on top of balsa wood sticks my daughter had bought in bulk when she was in high school and I had stuck in a large vase just waiting (years) for the owls to come along! I start with the eyes then just go from there.

And here are close-ups of the rest of the owls!

I took my car in for service in November and came back with the ‘number’ tag they use to track the car during the service…big red and green numbers…. Hard to resist overlaying a tangle pattern on them!
