For a while now I had been playing with a pattern that I think is an original. Finally it’s ready for the unveiling…  and thus I give you Zazzle. I think that Zazzle allows for a lot of versatility. It  works well as a starter for a zendala, or however you might like to use it in your tiles.

Here are the step-outs:

Please note that I added a new Patterns page to the blog, where you will also find these step-outs. In addition, there are step-outs for my other pattern, Palmetta. I hope to add new ones in the future.

Below is an example of Zazzle on a zendala tile. In this case I drew concentric circles to provide a string, so it is more structured than the more free-form examples seen in the step-outs.

Although I like it in black and white, I thought it would look pretty with some added color. Using blue, purple, and aqua watercolor crayons I colored in specific patterns, and repeated them in an alternating fashion from the center outwards. For contrast I left some areas white.

Feedback about Zazzle is welcome and encouraged! If you try out Zazzle I would love to see what you come up with. Please leave a link in the comments below or send me an email via the Contact page.
