Countdown for ZenAgain 2021

ZenAgain2021 starts in just little over a week and I’m pumped! Here is my “homework”, an embedded letter with some crazy dangling gems, don’t ask me where they came from. #ItsTimeforZenAgain2021

Ogee Grid in Blue

Another Ogee Grid piece in preparation for my class, this time in blue and orange, a favorite color combo of mine. Includes Ple-a tangle (Apple Lim) which is also part of Inktober. Does this count?

Ogee Illusion

While preparing for my upcoming class on Ogee grid, I used it as a string on my daily meditation. The result is an odd illusion where you can't tell what is in front and what is behind, depending on how you look.

Ogee Grid in Red

I had a ton of fun with these Ogee Grid pieces over Phi tan tiles inspired by historic ottoman textiles. So much detail! Tangles are Moon Pie, Fluxecho and 123 O’leary.

Tri-roda and IX

Still playing with Tri-Roda, this time with IX tangle. I feel like I could have gone even deeper with the shading!

Spynes and little bit of Zigoli

Day 13 and 24 of Inktober Tangles include Spynes and Zigoli. My daily meditation also include some funky pedestals and the usual flowing ribbons.

More Fengle

My goal is to always explore different ways to approach tangles, enhancers and strings. Today I played with more Fengle (Zentangle), using different ways to connect and 3-dimensionalize.

Hirari at the Party

Day 10 of Inktober calls for Hirari (Midori Furuhashi). I dressed it up with colored pencils and brown ink over tan tile.

Blossoms over Tan

A couple of blossom tangles over tan paper. Lots of painting and treatment over this one! Super fun.

Traveling Tile

I received a beautiful album and traveling tile from Cass, one of my students. It's tricky to work on someone else's tile!

Pink Coffering

Another coffered picture, this one with some ribbons wrapped around the frames and Tidings (Zentangle) tangle on the background. I think I prefer when the frames are not interlaced like that, but it's a neat effect anyway.
