This week I decided to use the Square One: Purely Zentangle focus tangle, Hexonu. I really dislike the name of the tangle but understand because it is in the form of a hexagon. It is a decent tangle but I certainly did not do it justice at all. Mine turned out reminding me more of a bee hive than hexagons.

Then I added the Pattern-Collections daily tangle for Tuesday, In-N-Out-Well. I just keep seeing eyes and birds and stuff but I shaded it like a flower instead since I had no idea how else to shade it.

I also added today’s daily tangle, Merryweather, by Sandy Hunter. This one basically takes Bales and adds another couple elements to it. I just don’t think I did justice to any of these tangles. I know you all would say I’m being too hard on myself but . . . maybe I am.

Here is the tile before I shaded it. Well, actually I’d started shading it when I realized that I hadn’t scanned it yet, so this is as close to before shading as possible.

I didn’t really like the lines on Merryweather, so I ended up blackening that part in. I did all of them in the same direction too. The In-N-Out-Well look like clasps here. I can just imagine what Nicole Dreyer from Pattern Collections would do with that one. She draws some of the cutest critters. I believe those circled dots would be changed to Caviar in hers. Makes me smile just thinking about it.

Here is my tile after shading.

And now because they always look better smaller . . .

And since I got this done early enough to still have sunlight, I took a picture of it in natural light.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time, God bless,
