Initial Thoughts

"Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere."   Gilbert K. Chesterton

The Diva's challenge this week is to use your initials as the string for a Zentangle. Well, believe it or not, my initials, CM, are hidden in here. I scanned my tile with the string on it, but I had already tangled half of this before I realized that the scan didn't turn out good enough to show here. So, you will just have to take my word that the initials are in there. At least I remembered to scan it before I starting shading and made sure it looked okay before continuing.



Here it is after I added shading.



I used a couple of tangles from my e-book, Step Out in Style. If you missed the post about my book, you can read it here. The round zendala tiles are fun to use for something a little different, even when I'm not creating a true Zendala.

  4. Like this on a zendala tile. 'Nzeppel is one of my favorite tangles. I used it in my tile. Looks great as your "C". Like the shading.
