From the Zentangle Primer: Lesson 3, page 55, Exercise #9. We are instructed to let our tangles extend beyond the border.
In my tile, above, I decided to extend Braze all the way to the very edge of the tile. It looks as if it was dropped onto the drawing. I made the border very definite by turning it into a tangled frame all around the center of the tile. Florz made a nice, simple background that didn’t distract from the tangles sitting on top of it!
Amanda did a lot of intricate tangling on her tile, which you can see above. I love all the variations she included. I wish I could have started with a better image so you could see all of the fantastic shading she did here! Parts of her tile really pop!
