Time to Tangle

Although it was a busy week at Swift Weaver's my motto is "there is always a time to tangle." For instance, on Monday waiting to enter the dentist office for a crown (what fun!) or last thing before bed. This week's Diva challenge was a real challenge for me. I don't usually only use one pattern in a zentangle and I not only had a hard time choosing just one, but a hard time making it work on its own. I have seen other zentangles with only one pattern and they all appear to be much "more" than I can seem to manage. While I don't like to use too many patterns in one piece and I like to repeat a pattern off and on in one drawing, I find I am not too fond of restricting myself to just one. I tried three different times to come up with a satisfying result and felt I fell short each time. I am posting all three looks. You be the judge!

  1. Very nice! I think I like cadent best but only a little better than the second one (I've forgotten the name). I love all your variations.

  2. We get to be the judge? Okay, you're being much too hard on yourself. They are all very good designs and great use of pattern variations. I especially like the stark black and white patterns on the last one.

  3. I love Cadent. All the different sizes and the patterns sets it apart nicely. The tiny, tiny Cadents are amazing. A fabulous interpretation of Ixorus. It's amazing how we all see the patterns differently. The last one is simple yet playful. Thay are delightful in their own ways. @Sande, do not judge your work or yourself. Every piece is a masterpiece.

  6. Yes. that's the amazing thing about zentangle. That so many different people can come up with such differnent work using the same basic patterns or variations thereof. That's exactly what I find so fascinating about it. That is the fascination of weaving also. Nicely put, wolfhowlings.
