Zentangle® – March 2017

I thought February was a big Zentangle month (with 90 tiles)…but I stopped counting before the end of the month in March at 121 tiles! Yes – there are 3 more days in March than there are in February but the increased production was more because I needed the extra Zen during March to savor the length of time I’ve had with elderly family members rather than going into a grief cycle.

I am still enjoying the Ultra Fine Point Sharpie pens I got last month…and making tiles from Seltzer water boxes and using the backs of old business cards. I picked 31 of the 120+ tiles to feature in this post.

There are three sizes of tiles from March just as there were in February. My favorite of the 3.5 x 3.5 inch squares looks somewhat botanical. The color of the tile and the melon ink….and the startling black of the collection of black circles …appeals to be every time I look at the tile.

And then there are 18 more of that size tile.

My favorite of the reused business cards is quite different but still will black highlights and then color around the black. The purple looks almost chalky.

And there are 7 more of the business card tiles.

The last group are 4 x 3 inch card stock tiles. My favorite of this group…and the month…is below. It reminds me of a transit map or a petroglyph (a dancing figure with a giant headdress.

And there are 3 more of that size tile.
