Group on FB and Tangle Prompts.....

Hello there!!
So this past week, I created a group on Facebook called the "BANGALORE TANGLERS"
for all the Zentangle Enthusiasts across Bangalore.
In this group, I intend to post about my classes, tangle inspirations & also do a weekly tangle prompt every tuesday to enable all to learn new tangles & to keep up with the practice of Zentangle!!

Also, the group is not restricted to only Tanglers from Bangalore! If you love to tangle you are welcome to join!!

Am super excited about this!! :-) :-)
So, today is the first Tuesday Tangle Prompt in the group & I worked on these tiles for the same....
Have fun tangling!

Worked on some tiles exploring a geometric string for this week's inspiration on the Facebook group Zentangle India.
This is a group of tangle enthusiasts from India & Indians around the world. Here we (me & my fellow CZTs) post a tangle or string inspiration every Friday to keep up with regular Zentangle practice. We are already on our 139th inspiration!! Lot of resource to explore & tangle :-)

Here is my string inspiration for the week.....

TAE-2018

#twitterartexhibit #tae2018 #pegasusRDA

TAE was set up by artist David Sandum about 8 years ago to help a library in Moss, buy books for their children's department.
Since then this social media powered art exhibition & sale has raised over $50000 for various charities around the world!!

This year, TAE will be supporting Australian charity Pegasus Riding for the Disabled of the ACT Inc in Canberra.

Happy to share that one of my art work will be part of the charity exhibit & sale! :-)
The exhibit is from April 7th-29th at Strathnairn Arts Gallery, Canberra.

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 :-)

Diva's Challenge #347

This week Diva's Challenge involved creating stings on tile with found objects and then Tangle on the tile. Here's my take.....

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!!

Diva's Challenge #346

For this week's Diva's Challenge #346 we had to create a Duo-Tangle tile using tangles "PHICOPS" & "HUGGINS"

Here's my tile featuring Crazy Huggins & Phicops!!
