Video Tutorial - Ornate Squares Day 21


Today is the final day of Sandhya Manne's video series on YouTube called Ornate Squares. You can purchase a PDF file with all of the templates for the series HERE on her website. Watch the Day 21 video HERE.

While choosing a digital background for today's tile, I couldn't decide which one I liked better so I saved it with both. Below is the the same tile as above but with a different background behind it.


I drew the tile below while watching the video. The tile above features a few tweaks that I made on my second tile in this design. I drew both tiles on cream colored card stock with black and brown ink. I also added some metallic copper accents.

Today's Tangle - Y-Knot


"Y-Knot" is by HyunJu Park CZT and her step-out is posted HERE at TanglePatterns. I like this lighter version better than the dark tile that I blogged about HERE yesterday.

Today's Tangle - Y-Knot


This pattern is called "Y-Knot" but it isn't the same as the official Zentangle pattern with a similar name; "Y-Not". This one is by HyunJu Park CZT and her step-out is posted HERE at TanglePatterns.

I wasn't very happy with how this turned out on such a dark colored tile so tomorrow I will blog about the second tile that I drew with this design but on a light colored tile. Both tiles were inspired by one of the examples on the step-out.

Today's Tangle - Fleurie


"Fleurie" is by Annett Ruempler CZT and the step-out is posted HERE on her website. I was a little confused as to how to begin drawing this pattern but I think you're supposed to start by randomly drawing the flower shapes wherever you want them.

I don't enjoy drawing Poke Leaf so I came up with something that has a similar look for around the border of my tile. I used black and brown ink as well as a little metallic copper gel ink. I also added some touches of rusty colored chalk pastel pencil.
