Tangleation Vocation #4: Uni

I enjoyed this weeks tangleation vocation no. 4 by Daniel Lamothe. Daniel's challenge was to use the tangle pattern 'uni' by Beth Snoderly.
Here is my tangleation of 'uni'.

Gottago - New Tangle Pattern

Well, I guess I must have a thing for toilets. Gottago is my new pattern and I found the inspiration for it on a bathroom floor one day when I was desperate to go.

Gottago is a simple grid based pattern using straight lines. This pattern has many tangleations and I have added a few as an example to help you begin your exploration of this versatile pattern.

I hope you enjoy gottago as much as I have when playing with and exploring what you can do with it.

If you would like to share your inspirations of gotta go for others, then leave a comment with a link to your art. 

Zentangle Audio Meditation #2

Holly Atwater has again put together a relaxing Zentangle meditation for us to try. With these meditations you just follow the instructions, not knowing what will be drawn until the end. With the 'hole' I created in the end, I think this would make a nice pendent to wear.

Thank you to Holly for another wonderful, relaxing Zentangle meditation.

Weekly Challenge #208: "Duotangle - Cubine vs Pokeroot"

'Cubine' and 'poke root' are the two tangle patterns The Diva has challenged us to use in a duo tangle this week. I must say I really enjoyed using cubine again as I have not used it for some time.

One of the great things about the challenges, dares, focus activities people post regularly, is the opportunity to explore and expand your Zentangle skills and creativity. To see some of the other great opportunities Zentangle zealots provide for anyone who is interested, I have now added a tab at the top of my blog that will take you to some of the dares, challenges and focus activities I have found so far.

Miasma Tangleation

A couple of weeks ago I found Daniel Lamothe's blog. When tangling, Daniel mainly used tangle patterns as they were originally designed. So he has set about challenging himself to explore  tangleations on a different pattern each week to expand his Zentangle skills. Although Daniel set this challenge for himself, he has also set up the linky machine so anyone else who wants to join this excellent way to expand your Zentangle skills can do so.

As yet, Daniel has not had any other people join him with his explorations, so I decided to complete this weeks focus pattern 'miasma', and start to get the word out there about this fantastic opportunity.

If you think this is a great way to explore tangleations and expand your Zentangle skills, why not join Daniel by adding your explorations of the focus pattern to his blog & share with other Zentangle enthusiasts.

Good on you Daniel for challenging yourself to explore more fun you can have with Zentangle.

N.B. - There are many different challenges, dares, focus activities other Zentangle enthusiasts also hold. So, I have now added a specific page with links to the ones I know about, that you may also like to visit. All you need to do is click on the 'Dare, Challenge &/or focus' tab at the top of my blog.

Weekly Challenge #207: "UMT - Unbatz by Sandy Hunter, CZT"

The Diva Challenge this week uses Sandy Hunter's Unbatz tangle pattern.

The 'use my tangle' challenge is great for learning new patterns you may not have come across before.

I loved learning this pattern and think this will go onto my favourites list. Unbatz is a very versatile pattern and easy to draw.

Head on over to the The Diva's Blog and take a look at what other people have done with the tangle pattern 'unbatz'.
