Large Zentangle® Tile
/I found some 11-inch square pieces of white cardboard while I was cleaning out…not sure where they came from…I immediately started using one of them to make a large Zentangle tile.
I started out with a traditional frame and string made with pencil…non-traditional since I used a ruler. Then I started filling in the spaces with some of my favorite patterns – gingo, crescent moon, poke root and leaf, tipple, etc. There was a pattern to how I added the patterns into spaces…so patterns with patterns. Once I filled all the spaces with patterns (using a fine point black Sharpie), I started to add color moving from the outer spaces toward the center with various colors of fine point Sharpies. The last ‘layer’ was some highlighting with white and light green gel pen. It took me a few days to do the whole surface and was a good experience. I still like the smaller tiles best – something I can finish in one or two sittings.
Enjoy the time sequence below!
