So, this is the first Zentangle® Challenge that I have been brave enough to post. The challenge was to use the newest official tangle, gourdgeous, I am admittedly still getting the hang of the new tangle, but it's growing on me. I have to admit that I have fallen utterly in love with the Zentangle Method of creating art "one stroke at a time." My life lends itself to being chaotic, hectic, and sometimes simply distressing. Art has always been my outlet, but this method seems to have a something that I just can't explain. One day I certainly hope to be able to attend the seminars and become a CZT. Until then, it's just me and the wee ones tangling away.
Margaret, this is beautiful, i can't believe this is your first entry!! Welcome aboard! :0) Annette
ReplyDeleteGood to 'see' you here! Your zendala is beautiful, I like Pokeleaf next to Gourdgeous. Hope to meet you here (or with other challenges like The Drare) again next week.

ReplyDeleteWelcome, how thrilling - your first post for the diva. I remember my excitement the first time I came across the challenges and started posting, it was only 5/6 months ago. The fact that they actually read my posts and responded was amazing, the community here is so friendly and helpful.
Your Zendala is great, even with a difficult tangle pattern like Gourdgeous, you have composed it well. Looking forward to seeing more of you.
Thank you all for the encouraging comments! I am generally very reluctant to share my art because I can always see the one thing that could have been better or different. Zentangle allows me to accept that the mistakes don't devalue my creativity or my artwork. It allows me to say "Things didn't go as planned, and that's ok."
