Zentangle Things

Running a little behind…I have so much to do and keep adding more to my plate. My goal for today is to catch up with my calendar journal by finishing the January journal entries so that I can move on to February. I’m almost there!!! At least I have the February page completed and ready for the journaling to be added. This is how I made the February page: I used Dylusions sprays for the background and date squares and Tombow markers for the basket of hearts and the background behind the heart basket. I was pleasantly surprised how the yellow Tombow marker matched the yellow color of the Dylusions and how well they blended together. The basket of flowers is a on a fold-out page. When closed, you can see the quote that was part of the January page. I planned the February page first so that the shape or cut-out would follow the shape of the hearts….then I made the quote page fit the shape. The basket is made by using a Zentangle pattern. It looks hard but is easy peasy. A little time consuming but easy just the same! Here is how you do it: Next up…MARCH! Hmmmm….I’m thinking March flowers! March is the month to plant flowers and vegetables in Florida. Maybe I will fill the page with lots of flower doodles. Until next time! Hugs!!!! Ginny

Tangle – Patterns!

not sure what the tangle is called (so please let me know if you do), but many people comment on how mine looks, so here are my steps www.facebook.com/nzjo.studio

Zentangle art

Cubine is one of many ‘official’ Zentangle patterns. Maria Thomas’ drawing steps for Cubine are here, as well as a photo of the inlaid wood that inspired it. SHADING With most tangles you can be rather easy-going with the shading, but there are a few where you want to stay in the lines. Cubine is one of those. Take care shading. And then some #1 – SCALE I generally make the small black square about one quarter of the original large square. One of the simplest ways to vary the look of Cubine is to change the size of the small square, the black ‘hole’. You can see the difference below: medium holes, small holes, and large holes. If you use large black squares you can create ‘windows on the stars’ by leaving some tiny white circles. Try very gradually changing the amount of space given to the black squares and you have a gradation. It almost looks as if you’re moving past it. See the tile at the top of this post for another example. And then some #2 – ANGLES Try drawing your grid so that one set of lines is closer together at one end than at the other, and the pattern seems to be nearer and farther. And then some #3 – ADD A FRONT Something I really like to do with Cubine is to add an extra corner. It gives the whole pattern a ‘front’. Simply add a corner before continuing with Cubine as usual. Below it is a tile where I’ve used this idea a couple of times. Cubine monotangle, some with added ‘fronts’. You can achieve an uninterrupted front by starting with a series of squares, instead of a square grid with added extra corners. And then some #4 – CURVY LINES As with almost any square grid pattern, you can use curvy lines rather than straight ones. You can do straight diagonal lines i
n each square, but I prefer to curve the diagonal line a little according to the shape of the square. In this case, know that the diagonal lines will not be straight lines through all the squares. On occasion they may be almost frighteningly angled! Here’s a curvy square grid, the same grid with diagonal lines, and finished with Cubine. And then some #5 – ALIGNMENT One thing I’ve discovered with Cubine to make it look \
