Zentangle Project Pack 9 - Spring Has Sprung

ZENTANGLE PROJECT PACK 9 - PREPARATION DAY

A new Zentangle project pack series began on Friday and you can buy Project Pack 9 HERE. If you don't have the project pack you can use your own materials and download the free Markus Operandus tool HERE. There are two preparation videos that you should watch HERE and HERE.

I don't have the project pack so I cut my own Zendala tiles from card stock called Classic Crest Cover by Neenah and the color is called "Saw Grass". I'm also using Staedtler Triplus pens and the colors are "Green Earth #55" and "Olive Green #57".

On Preparation Day, we got six Zendala tiles ready by drawing a string using the Markus Operandus tool. Next, we drew a Purk-like pod in the small section of each tile and then drew the tangle of our choice along the other string line. I chose to draw "Pokeleaf" on all six of my tiles and you can see an example of one of my tiles at the top of this post. The other tangle choices are "Pokeroot", "Rixty", "Rick's Flux", "Maria's Flux", "Sampson", "Springkle" and "Verdigogh". Maria shows how to draw each tangle in the video.

ZENTANGLE PROJECT PACK 9 - DAY 1

You can watch the Day 1 video HERE. On this day, Molly shows us how to fill the large section of one of our tiles with a variation of the tangle called "Umble". Instead of filling my ribbons with solid green, I chose to fill mine with fine olive green lines. Unfortunately, neither of the greens that I used show up well in my scans and they almost look black.

Classic Zentangle® - Emingle & Fracas

I drew this tile for a prompt in the Today's Tangles: Keeping it Classic Facebook group.
 
These are the tangles that I used:

Emingle - I blogged about "Emingle" HERE.

Fracas - I blogged about "Fracas" HERE.

Today's Tangle - Bounce

"Bounce" is by Ina Sonnenmoser and the pattern is posted HERE at Pattern-Collections. I accented mine with some auras drawn with a pencil and a white gel pen. I colored the half moon shapes with colored pencil and metallic bronze gel pen.

Today's Tangle - Rugz

"Rugz" is by Donald Wilka CZT and the pattern is posted HERE on his blog. As you can see, this pattern is actually "Huggins" with an embellishment in every other corner of the grid.

Today's Tangle - Bermuda

"Bermuda" is by Ina Sonnenmoser and her pattern is posted HERE at Pattern-Collections. Dawn Collins has a video HERE.

I drew mine using a different method than on the step-out. I found it too difficult to gauge how long to draw the dashes and how much space to leave between them so that the triangles would come out the shape and size that I wanted and so that there would be enough space between them to draw the adjacent row of triangles. I started with a pencil string consisting of four lines. I drew the two center lines very close together and the two outer lines spaced just far enough away on either side to give me triangles the size that I wanted. I drew the first row of triangles between one of the inner guide lines and the nearest outer guide line. I made sure to leave enough space between the triangles so that tips of the triangles that would go in the opposite direction between them would have enough room. I repeated the same thing with the set of guides on the opposite side.
