Diva Challenge #250 - "Bringing it Back to the Old School"

This week the DIVA reminds the Zentangle community  to the basics of Zentangle, using only  a white 3,5" tile, a black pen and a pencil.
Without any focus on the result - only on the process of tangling.

She is right... sometimes it is good to stop and to get back to the "Old School".

(Despite I love colours and I am sure we are going to use them also in the future.)

Yesterday I tangeled this tile for my own "String Challenge" where I try to complete all strings from Linda Farmers "Tanglepatterns.com".

When I read the DIVA Challenge today I decided immediately that this is just what the DIVA is asking for:


For this tile I used string #008 and the tangles "Namaste", "Fassett", Phroz", "W2" and "Cadent"

  8. Ich finde dass Sie eine sehr schöne Zeignung gemacht habe.
    Den Tangle in die Mitte ist wunderbar, ich hätte ihm noch nicht gesehen.
    Die Kontraste geben eine Mehrwerte

  10. Hallo liebe Simone,

    auch diese einfachen Tangles haben doch ihren besonderen Reiz, auch wenn ich Farben genauso liebe wie Du. Sehr schön ist Deine Kachel geworden, mir gefällt dieses Seerosenartige Muster ausgesprochen gut.

    Ganz liebe Grüße zu Dir und einen schönen Tag,

  16. Hallo Simone. Deine Kachel ist toll geworden. Ich fand es auch toll, einfach mal wieder nach dem Grundprinzip von Zentangle zu zeichnen. Namaste ist dir wirklich super gelungen und fügt sich toll in das Gesamtbild ein.

  17. The balance of this tile is just 'perfect'! I can only assume that 'nameste' is the center tangle looking of lotus flowers? If so...gorgeous! If not, whatever that is, is gorgeous :) Wonderful contribution!
