Weekly Inspiration-122

This week's inspiration on Zentangle India is the pattern Aura-Leah!

Made a journal entry this time, instead of a tile.....


Aura-Leah with some Mookha Fronds!!

Was working on my Zentangle Journal in preparation for an upcoming class.... & a corner of the page begged for some organic tangles! So used it to fill Aura-Leah :-)

Red-Whiskered Bulbul!!

Me & Mr.A are keen bird watchers and photograph the Avian beauties whenever there is a chance; hence I have a lot of bird pictures that i have been meaning to paint.

So, finally started with some sketch studies in pen & ink.
Hope I continue these studies more regularly from now on!

For now here's my study of Red-Whiskered Bulbul

3T-Tuesday Travelling Tangles & some Grey tinted tiles!!

On the Zentangle India Group, every now and then we do "Tuesday Travelling Tangles Project" or simply 3T!!
It is a collaborative project of Zentangle swap inspired by the Traveling Tangles Project by CZT Stephanie Jennifer.

On a given Tuesday one tangler from the group shall post 3-4 half done tiles for the swap; and anyone in the group can pick up the tile to complete & in-turn send a half-done tile to the swap partner!

This week was my turn to post the Swap tiles!!

I introduced Grey-Tinted tiles in this swap. I hand picked these grey tinted sheets & got them dye-cut from my vendor. The grey tint provides a very versatile surface to work with both black & white inks & also graphite, charcoal pencils!!

Here are my half done tiles for the swap & also some explorations on Grey Tiles...


A Grey Zendala with pattern Aquafluer

Grey Apprentice tile with pattern Shattuk

Regular Square tile with pattern Toodles

A 3Z Grey with pattern Frondous

Some explorations that I did on Square & 3Z tiles!!

Weekly Inspiration #120

We Tanglers from India have a Facebook group called "Zentangle India" where we work on a weekly inspiration every Friday. 

Sometimes the inspiration is a tangle pattern & other times it's a string!

For the first Friday of this year it was a pattern 3D-Room by CZT Mei Hua Teng

Here are my tiles for WI-120
3D Room with Pokeleaf variation n Regular White Tile

3D Room with some colors & tipples on Regular Black Tile

12 DAYS OF ZENTANGLE!!

The Twelve Days of Zentangle series has become a tradition in the Zentangle circles, where we tangle for 12 consecutive days during the Christmas season!! In this series, we borrow a traditional holiday song as a playful way to share fun, little Zentangle projects for twelve consecutive days. 

Although this is a Christmas song, all projects can be interpreted and appreciated by all traditions. 

This year the theme was to take a trip down memory lane and explore the tiles, tangles and techniques as they came into the Zentangle world over the years. 

So here are my tiles for the 12 Days!!
DAY-1 Back to Basics with a Twist!

DAY-2 A 3D-Tile Exploration

DAY-3 Anew tangle "RUMPUS"

DAY-4 Diva Dance with some Sproing

DAY-5 Exploring "CUT IT OUT"

DAY-6 New Tangle "TOODLES"

DAY-7 Working on AURAs

DAY-8 The Crowned jewel that BIJOU is!

DAY-9 Bijou Twins in Black & Tan

DAY-10 Exploring Paradox as a Reticula

DAY-11 Making 3Z Stars

DAY-12 A Fragment Tree & Diamond

I thoroughly enjoyed 12 days of Tangling! Relaxing & Fun :-)
