Guest artist/challenger Genevieve, has given us a zendala (a fusion of mandala and zentangle) template to work with this week:

And here is what I came up with:

Here we are, String Theory II.  This time, we drew rows of strings, and completed our tangle:

This week, we were given a string done by the Diva. It will be interesting to see the different tangles everyone comes up with.  Here is the string:

And here is my tangle:

This week, Rick and Maria of Zentangle came up with a new tangle called “Oof“.  Since I have been thinking “garden & flowers” lately, I decided to incorporate a flower into this weeks challenge:

“Oof” was not that simple to draw – for me.  My initial diamonds were a bit misaligned, so the overall “Oof” is a bit off.  I’ll call mine “Goof”.  Otherwise, it was as usual, very fun to do :-).

This weeks theme was “Royal Wedding”:

And here is my inspiration, the Westminster Abbey:

This weeks challenge was based on the work of William Morris, an English textile designer, writer, and artist. We were assigned to use black stock paper, and draw with a white pen. Well, I went to five different stores looking for a white gel pen, either they were out, or did not carry them. So, I decided to draw this zentangle using photoshop elements:

My skills with the digital pen leave a lot to be desired, but it was good practice.  And here are some examples of the work of William Morris:

This week, we were to zentangle an egg.  I drew the egg in two pieces. The crack on the egg does not fit the other 🙂

It looks a bit wonky… whatever.

Whew! I am finally caught up!

As the title says, walk the line – we were to draw a tile with only straight lines – no curves!

Well, I wasn’t too thrilled with this challenge, non-dominatrix.  I am right handed, so I had to draw a tile with my left hand.  And here is my effort:

Yay! some color.  Traditionally, zentangles are done in black and white, but for this challenge, we were to design a tile and color it blue:

I drew this by hand, scanned it, and colored it in photoshop elements.

As the title says, monotangle.  Use one tangle for the challenge:

It may be because I am so new to this, but I found this challenge a bit difficult, and a little boring.
