Zentangle® – August 2023

85 square Zentangle tiles…picking 31 for this post representing August 2023. I decided to challenge myself to use black ink (i.e. no colored inks) in August. I did enjoy colorful cardstock tiles though.

Another challenge to myself was to use a mono-pattern (i.e. “Crescent Moon”)providing some variety with different ‘threads’. 11 of the 31 tiles are that pattern.

Last but not least – I started with a string of 8 wedges and then filled in the edges in varying ways. I made 6 tiles with that strategy!

I realized that using only black ink when I travel makes packing trivial…so I might make tiles that way any time I am away from home ---- but I am looking forward to colored inks in September!
