Zentangle® Tiles for Valentines

I decided to make Valentine themed tiles for my February Zentangle project. I used some heavy pink paper my sister gave me – leftover from her teaching days when she retired. The paper cutter made quick work of cutting 4 tiles from 2 pieces of the 8.5x11 inch sheets (with no waste). I used a black Sharpie Ultra Fine to draw the patterns and various colors of the same type pen to ‘color’…some gel pens to do a bit of highlighting. Enjoy the slideshow of the 8 tiles below!

The is extra printing on some calendar squares…some that are holidays and others that are ‘tradition.’ Some make good prompts for projects and celebration. They are evocative of the same day in other years and are part of the annual cycle. I tend to like them as signposts of a longer rhythm than a month, a week, or a day.
