Laura's theme for the challenge this week was Running 'round in circles. I have felt like I was running 'round in circles for a while now. So with this weeks theme I just had to tangle.
With circles in mind I decided to place parts of three zendalas on my square tile to create a string. Originally I thought to use a zendala instead of the square tile but decided it might be too much roundness. Then I had the bright idea I had been wanting to try by filling in using a white gelly roll, and black & brown micron pens to make it look like I had placed the three different coloured Zentangle tiles over the top. This is something I have wanted to try since seeing Julie Broderick's (CZT) beautiful tiles on the Zentangle Mosaic where she had done just that. I was not very happy with the look but kept on anyway, in the Zentangle fashion. After creating the coloured background I drew a few circles on the top as strings for some tangles. My first thought for tangles was to use tangles that used orbs. "Noooo!", My inner voice said, "This would definitely be over the top and look awful." So I settled on a combination of organic and geometric tangles. Although I haven't shaded this tile I decided to stop there so I could post it and add the tile to Laura's blog as my participation in the challenge.
