I decided to participate in the Triple B Challenge where we will be doing a zia for each book of the Bible, consisting of a tangle beginning with each letter of the book for the challenge.
Tiffany took a few pictures of me as I was drawing this one.
This is the first one and thus we are doing Genesis. I am calling it In the Beginning and I hope it is apparent why.
I used Gneiss, Ennies, Nipa, Eke, Seedings by Mei Hua Teng (Damy), Ibex, and Sabi by Sandy Steen Bartholomew from the center outward. Only seedings and ibex were new to me. I love Ibex but I wish I had practiced both seedings and ibex before including them in this piece but I think it turned out okay. {Gneiss, ennies, nipa, eke, and ibex are all official tangles, I believe.}
Here is a closeup of the center of my zia.
It was fun to do a larger piece. I’m looking forward to the next one.
I finally finished my tile for The Diva Challenge this week, #208. It was true to its name for me because I’ve never been a fan of pokeroot, or pokeleaf for that matter, as I have never felt I did it justice. I’m glad I persevered though. It’s not perfect but I’m okay with it. It is the first time I’ve done a front on cubine AND the first time I’ve made it wonky wavy. I have to say that the Margaret Bremner’s tutorial on different ways to draw cubine. It was extremely helpful! I prefer it this size.
Here it is a bit larger.
I have done Cubine a little stretched before in my beginner days. I really think this one looks like a bird or duck of some kind.
I really wanted to participate in a few more zentangle drawing prompts this week (not all are challenges). I don’t know if I’ll get around to them or not. If I do, I’ll add them here.
Until next time, God bless,
Michele ºÜº
Wonderful drawing! and yes, I can see your meaning. I see the water, the grasses, the clouds… Thanks for being part of the Triple B challenge!
Michele, that’s an amazing zia. Love all your tangle choices and the overall look of your drawing.
I think your Pokroot is done very well, the tile is beautiful.
You did such a great job on all the challenges you participated in. I really like the front you added to cubine as well as it’s waviness. It is fun how you’ve made poke root extend out in all directions, it reminds me of a flower. Very pretty!
