This Zendala concept is from Zentangle’s 12 Days of Zentangle and Project Pack 2. On Day Seven, Maria shows us various ways to use Auras to fill in shapes on a pre-strung, Renaissance Zendala tile. I didn’t have any pre-strung tiles, so I used a blank, white, Official Zendala tile, and filled in with my own design. I chose a simpler string than I used on the last Zendala, which made it easier to draw.

This duotangle, done on a larger, apprentice-sized tile is from the 12 Days of Zentangle, Project Pack 2. For this tile, Martha instructs us in the video to draw a larger version of Paradox, which we are using as a reticula, and then filling it with Marasu fragments. I found this very easy and relaxing to do, and I really enjoyed adding the shading and highlights. I think I’m starting to have fun doing black tiles!

· drawing tile zentangle 12 days of Zentangle project pack 2 gold 3Z star 
This tile is from Project Pack 2, The Twelve Days of Zentangle. On day eleven, Rick and Maria used 3Z tiles assembled into stars! The video shows you how to make two different stars from both black and white 3Zs. I chose to make the white one this time. This project was a lot of fun, and not all that difficult. The biggest problem I had was drawing over the gold ink with the micron pen. My pens hated it, and I had a lot of problems with it. Other than that, I liked working on the star shape, and enjoyed the process.

This tile is from Project Pack 2, The Twelve Days of Zentangle. On day four we are doing a twist on Diva Dance. Here, you see it drawn both as a ribbon and as a spirals (Diva Dance rock-n-roll.) However, a new technique has been added. It looks as if the tangle has developed arms. Rick refers to these as “sproings!” You can learn all about them by watching the video, here .

This tile is from Project Pack 2, The Twelve Days of Zentangle. On day three, Maria introduced a new tangle: Rumpus! This is an interesting tangle that starts off with a few dots and then builds like a symphony to a finale with sections being drawn behind one another. You, too, can be mesmerized watching her draw in the video here . In addition, another technique, which she refers to as “enthatching” is introduced. This is where fine lines are stroked out from a corner or a center to add color and dimension. Here, I used various blue-inked pens and markers to add color to the design.

This tile is from Project Pack 2, The Twelve Days of Zentangle. On day two, we are using two Zentangle tiles. The first tile, which is black, has a hole cut in the center. Then tangling is done around the empty space. I added red metallic gel pen dots around the center frame and I used a grey metallic gel pen to fill in the spaces in the Flux. Metallic ink just doesn’t show up very well in photographs, unfortunately!

This tile is a direct result of following the instructions on the blog post for the First Day of the 12 Days of Zentangle over at zentangle.com . The purpose of this exercise was to draw each of the tangles that are used to teach a brand new person how to tangle. The most common tangles used for a beginner’s tile are Crescent Moon and Hollibaugh and they are often followed by Florz (or Bales) and Printemps. However, we are instructed to draw each of the tangles with a “twist.” For example, Cresent Moon is drawn using triangles and angled auras, and Hollibaugh is drawn so that the strips look more like roots and are intertwined with each other.
