For this week’s challenge the Diva asks participants to get back to the roots of Zentangle. As she notes in her blog post, the goal is a “return to the ceremony” of tangling. Rather than debating what size tile to use, or to select a color, or any of that, the idea is to pay close attention to the process. After all, Zentangle is a mindful art form which improves focus and helps with relaxation.
Using a standard white 3.5″ square tile, black pen, and pencil, I created the above piece. My string was simple and divided the area into triangles, squares, and rectangles. I had not drawn 8C before and wanted to try it. In the lower sections I chose to go with official tangles: Finery, Paradox, and Printemps.
As always, thanks to the Diva for another great challenge. Getting back to basics is always a good exercise.

Thank you, Simone! 8C is a pretty pattern, and now that I’ve tried it I will have to use it more in the future. 🙂
