I am still really enjoying the new official Zentangle®App which I spoke about in
my post yesterday. For anyone who can't find it in their App Store there are links posted there. It is so great that it has been officially announced and is available to everyone, not just the CZT's. I have seen several of you over there and look forward to coming across more of you and seeing your work. My mosaic name, in case you are looking for me, is Yorkshiretortoise - just the same as here but no gap in the middle.
One of my favourite features is the ability to create your own folders (mosaics) to catalogue and store photos of all your art. You can make all photos and folders public or private, your choice. As soon as I have finished posting this I shall be going into the app. to create a folder just for
The Diva's Challenge.
The challenge this week is to draw a Monotangle of Shattuck. I have created a 4 tile ensemble, my intention was to have different variations on each tile (8 variations in total), but I discovered that was a bit ambitious and I ran out of ideas, so I made opposing tiles the same instead. There was just one variation I wasn't sure about. I filled the main lines of the curvy Shattuck with small orbs. After I had done it I wondered if in fact this would be counted as Tipple and therefore make it a duo-tangle? Anyway it is done now, so it is a Monotangle with a row of Orbs as embellishment. *nodding*
The string was a simple arc across the centre of the tiles and this has meant the tiles can be rearranged to look totally different:-
There was one last variation that I wanted to do but I was afraid to spoil what I had already done. I took the two photo's I have just shown you and then did a final tweek. This is what it looks like now, the change is on the upper right hand side. Which do you prefer, the clean lines before or the shiny black after?
I like that very much, and only with one Tangle, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, some of your Shattuck has a knitted/crochet feel. A beautiful, versatile Ensemble.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful š I love that you can swap them around and look total different. I like the shiny black bit top too.
ReplyDeleteAren't you just having fun with your new toy! And it's a pretty cool little gizmo, looks like. You did some good work here.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love your version of Shattuck with the zigzaggy edges - it really stands out!
ReplyDeleteWell of course I like all your versions of the pattern, with and without shine, so I'm not much help am I? I really need to get that app.
ReplyDeleteWonderful ensemble and so great variations of Shattuck - I love it :-)
ReplyDeleteOne pattern and you have created so much variations - it is gorgeous! I wish you Happy Eastern.

Waouhhhh C'est beau !
ReplyDeleteNice tiles and variations, YT! I love how they go together as a mosaic. In answer to your question; I like the on with the black because it balances out with the black on the other tiles.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Just amazing! I love the idea to arrange the tiles as a mosaic!
ReplyDeleteEnormously cool idea. I'm going to try one. I like the concept of being able to rearrange them. It's like a zentangle mosaic mood ring or art for people who like change----they can rearrange them everyday if they want to. BTW, it's definitely a monotangle merely embellished with orbs. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it!) ;-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful Shattuck varaitions and I like your ensemble idea!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I like the shiny black one most. I also like the ones with the zigzag pattern in it. Very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful tiles - great work!
