Coloring Zentangle® Tiles
/I enjoy making the Zentangle tiles. Recently I’ve discovered that making a second pass at tiles – coloring them – is also very enjoyable. Here are two tiles - original and then colored. The look is quite different!
I’ve picked 8 others from the ones I’ve been working on for the past week. Coloring is a bit faster than the creating of the original tile, but it is Zen in the same way. It’s very easy to keep focus on the task rather than bouncing around to all kinds of thoughts. And when I’m done – I savor the creation…then let it go.
Allowing at least several days between the original creation and the coloring means that often the tile seems ‘new.’ I don’t remember the order I made the original pattern. The two rounds of activity on the tile are separate endeavors.
