Blog Links

I have been really enjoying following the links to everyone's challenge entries. Some people only post photos of their tile, which is fine, but I would say the majority do write at least a word or two, either about their thoughts on the challenge or about their lives. I love reading what has been written and the comments afterwards, and it has become a part of the challenge experience for me. However I suddenly realized that those links go directly to the specific challenge entry - as they absolutely should - but I am missing out on some posts in-between that I couldn't see, which are not connected to any challenge and sometimes are not even about Zentangle! Now I have got into the habit of clicking on the Blog Header before I leave, which takes you to the page where you can see all the posts and then I can make sure I am not missing out - just call me Nosey lol.

I have finished my tile for Joey's Monotangle Challenge. This week it is F - Florez. This is quite a bold dark tangle pattern. I had planned to fill each of the 'petals' with Florez but I decided it was going to be too dark for my taste and I preferred it with just one filled 'petal'. Next I sat and looked at it, turning it from side to side and decided that it looked best with the filled portion on the right, so here it is.

  1. When I posted my entry on Joey's site, your tile caught my eye. I love this!! It was such a clever way to use this tangle. I also like that you read the blogs - I do that too. After all, it helps connect the community, don't you think?

  5. Love your tile YT. Very nicely executed.
    Your comment about reading the blogs is kinda funny. I do the same thing. It is part of the joy. But it really underlines the caution about not putting too much personal info on your blog. I worry about some bloggers who bare their souls. I'm sure that, between the tangle posts and my political blogs, I am way too exposed. But I do try to be careful.
