Every Monday morning I visit Laura Harm's blog to see what Zentangle® challenge she offers us for the week. Her commitment of time, love and talent is astonishing, as she has a plateful of stuff in her life that might make most of us forgo the effort it would take to keep up this weekly blog post project. For that we are all very grateful. Which is why it is with so much joy that I say, Congrats, Laura on being voted Top Blog of the Top 100 Teaching Blogs of 2011!!!! You rock the Zentangle, and the Zentangle community by inspiring us every week to participate in the challenge. Whether we post our challenge responses or not, there are hundreds of people who look forward to your Monday morning surprise, each one finding a corner of joy for themselves in the world of Zentangle. Big hugs and kisses to you!
Speaking of the challenge, below is my offering for this week. I was very happy to see that our challenge was to use Tricia Faraone's Sanibelle! I found this one just a few short weeks ago, and LOVE doing it. It was so much fun I did a monotangle first, simply because I couldn't stop once the rhythm started. I then figured I would stretch out a bit and do something else with another tile, so I did Sanibelle around a loop string, and filled the middle with a Baton variation. The shading on Sanibelle is also super fun...
Thanks, Laura and thank you Tricia for sharing your beautiful and playful tangle with us.
love the second one. Makes me want to stick my finger in the middle to see how deep it is. You do such beautiful work. thanks for sharing g.a.s

Greetings from a cold and snowy netherland.
I also love sanibelle. But not as good as you.
ReplyDeleteWow! Both of these are amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour flowing sanibelle tiles are lusciously beautiful! I wonder if in the second tile if that is a Venus flytrap waiting for it's next meal!
ReplyDeleteThey are both gorgeous! I especially love the first-so soft and delicate.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I love the second one because of the dimension you achieved.
ReplyDeleteThey both are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteLove your delicate way of tangling.
beautiful tiles Carole! It is wonderful how Sanibelle blends so well with the other tangles in your second tile, and how good it looks all by it's self in the first tile.
ReplyDeleteLove them both, Carole. The first one should be another one of your lovely cards you sell on Etsy!
ReplyDeleteBoth are beautiful! Lovely
ReplyDeleteThese are great, both show that wonderful rhythm and flow!
ReplyDeleteTwo treats out of your tangle pocket of tricks.
ReplyDeleteYour Sanibelles have a lot of life to them. They are both lovely!!
ReplyDeleteBoth are lovely. I especially like the way you combined the flow of sanibelle with the straight lines and angles in the second.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone:)
ReplyDeleteGreat work on both tiles, Carole. The monotangle is calming and rhythmic. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful tiles, but I think the second one is my favorite! BTW...just got around to ordering my calendar this week...so looks like I'll have quite a few days to catch up! Can't wait to get it!!
