Spinner Zentangle Pattern

Spinner Zentangle

(by Jo Flaherty)

Spinner is a Jo Flaherty original tangle. Join her facebook page called "Zia tips, tricks and techniques" for all of your tangly-goodness needs!

I've posted a few of my pieces below, featuring the Spinner tangle, followed by a video showing my basic rundown of Jo's design. You can have so much fun with this simple tangle, it's not hard to do at all and adding to it is really easy.  Pop onto the facebook page and see what others have done with this pattern, it's truly spectacular!

So here goes

1st attempt

2nd attempt - with a little splash of colour

3rd attempt - went bigger here, and really got into it.

And finally, got a little busy on this one and played with colour a whole lot more.  Sadly, my puppers got a hold of it overnight and gave it a little chew...

And alas, the little video tutorial...

Shnek Zentangle Variation

First and foremost, the original step-out for Shnek can be found by the creator at http://www.zenjoy.ch/ .

Here is the video of how to do my variation on Shnek.

Also, for your printing pleasure, a drawn step-out.  Please excuse the messiness of it, I’m no pro.

And finally, a pic of the 3 tiles I did this week using the Shnek Zentangle in one way, shape or form.

Thanks so much to Eni Oken for making this tangle a challenge this week, and for the beautiful mosaic she created with the Shading Zentangle Facebook group’s pieces.

 

It’s been a great week of terrific tangling!

Yuma Zentangle Second Attempt

I like this one far better than my first Yuma attempt. This is my second for Eni Oken’s challenge and all I can say is,” Wow, there are some mighty fine artists in this group”.  The amount of diversity and beauty displayed amongst this group is simply awe-inspiring.   Half the fun of doing these challenges is seeing the different ways each individual draws the same tangle, yet each create such completely unique pieces.

Here are the step outs (woot I remembered… again! Go me!) that got me the results of this tile.
