Just a quick post to share my next two Zenduo tiles. Number 11 uses the patterns BB and Beelight. I included some Beelight in a grid, like the original pattern, and then added some more Beelight not in the grid. To me it looks like the Beelight is escaping from under a pile of books.
First before shading:
And then after shading:
Zenduo number 12 uses the patterns Beeline and Betweed.
I made jumbo Beeline so I could incorporate the Betweed inside it.
And that's it for today. Until next time...happy Tangling!

I've been practicing a new technique I learned a couple of weeks ago at Tangle U, the CZT retreat I attended in Maine. Before I post about that, I have a few more pieces I want to finish.
So, in the meantime, I thought I'd give you a peek at something I worked on today. For a while, I've been watching Adele Bruno's "It's a String Thing" challenge that she puts out there once a week. I had not participated in it until today. This week's challenge was to use string 043 from Tanglepatterns.com, incorporating one or more of the official Zentangle patterns Beelight, Beeline, and Betweed, along with CZT Margaret Bremner's tangle Beadlines. I chose to use all 4 of the patterns.
Here is what I created.
I'm not sure that I ever used Beeline before, so it was good to try something new. And my Betweed had an "accident" in the first section, so I had to continue with it, leading to a tangleation. All in all, I'm happy with the tile.
I hope to be back here in a few days to share all the fun I've been having this week with some black magic. Hope you'll be back too!
