A new Zentangle project pack video series called "Alphaborders and Beyond!" began last Friday and I'm just starting to catch up with my drawings. This series is about tangling with letterforms and the videos for days one and two feature "Alphaborders". Today I am posting my first two tiles. The one above has borders made with the letters A through E and the tile below has the letters F through J. I drew some of my borders as shown in the videos and others I either tweaked or came up with my own ideas. It will take me four more tiles to get through the entire alphabet.
Watch the introduction video HERE. You'll find the Day 1 video HERE and the Day 2 video HERE. I used my own materials but you can buy the Project Pack 15 kit HERE on the Zentangle site.
"Triplex" is by Natalia Orlova and her step-out is posted HERE at TanglePatterns. The fun thing about this tangle is that you can embellish it in so many ways.
I drew this tile for a prompt in the Today's Tangles: Keeping it Classic Facebook group. I blogged about "Diva Dance Rock'n Roll" HERE. You can learn about "Sproings" in THIS Zentangle Project Pack video. I drew mine to look like Mooka. You can see how Rick draws them in the video.
I drew this tile for a prompt in the Today's Tangles: Keeping it Classic Facebook group. This is a "Mooka" variation of "Spoken" accented with "Printemps", "Crescent Moon" and "Tipple".
These are the tangles that I used:
Crescent Moon - I blogged about "Crescent Moon" HERE.
Mooka - I blogged about "Mooka" HERE.
Printemps - I blogged about "Printemps" HERE.
Spoken - I blogged about "Spoken" HERE.
Tipple - I blogged about "Tipple" HERE.
"Chute" is by Pete Grantham. He posted his step-out HERE in the Anything Goes - Tangled Art For Everyone Facebook group. It's a private group so you will have to join to see the pattern.
"Buttercup" is by Sandy Steen Bartholomew but the step-out is posted HERE on Sandra Strait's website. Read more about the pattern HERE at TanglePatterns. I tweaked the shape of the petals a little to suit my taste. The center of each flower has a spot of metallic silver glitter ink.
