Learning to tangle

Hello,

Today I am showing my first couple of Zentangles.  I am only just learning this, but I am enjoying it immensely and tangling will turn up in all sorts of places from now on!  Zentangle is a copyrighted term and you can learn more about it here on the original website.  A true Zentangle is an abstract work on a 3.5" square, anything else is 'Zentangle inspired art'.  I have a book by Beckah Krahula and am learning new tangles day by day.
These are my first two Zentangles:

I am not so keen on the first one, I got the shading wrong, but I learnt my first 3 tangles and enjoyed doing it - which is the main thing!!















The second one I did, I like much better - I learnt another 3 tangles and like the composition much better.  I don't think I am really supposed to be analysing these so much!!
There will be more to follow...
Take care,
Janet xxx

    Looking good, I really like the effect on the second one with Mooka (?) Breaking out of the top left hand corner. Would you recommend that book, is it One Zentangle a day? x

      Hi Lisa, Thank you for your comment the tangle is called 'Fescu'. The book is good, so far it is teaching three new tangles a day, then you have to do a Zentangle using those designs - it looks as if that changes a bit as it goes on. It is called 'One Zentangle a Day'

      Thank you Jo - definitely addictive. Not so good for doing DT cards as it took me absolutely ages to do one card, but then I wanted to do more and did another one!!
