I like to have a tile that has a complex string with a lot of different spaces. I can sit down and fill an area with a random tangle when I have a few moments. But I don’t have to work on it until it’s done. I just return to it when I have a short bit of time. That means it may be sitting on my desk for a while before it’s finished!
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.
