One would think that this would get easier as the days go by, but I still stuggle sometimes of where to begin when I start a post. I have a therory that most of the time I am blogging at the end of the day and I am just mental drained from the work day. That, or I just plain suck at blogging.

Anyway, today’s post showcases my 23rd tile of my self-imposed challenge of “trying” to create one Zentangle tile a day. If I am really honest with myself, I haven’t even come close to posting or creating these daily. However, I have stayed more consistant than I have in the past by continuing to challenge myself creatively. In other words, it’s okay to fall short of your goals, but as one of my favorite quotes state “Reach for the moon, if you fall short, you might just land on star”.

This little tile, I decided to go for something a little different. You might have noticed that the lines in the tile look a little thicker than normal. This is due to the fact that I primarily make all of my tile’s with Sakura’s #01black ink pen. This time I opted to draw this entire tile using the #05 which creates thicker lines.

I love the graphic feel of this tile which features a newly learned tangle called “Striping” and a tangleation of “Pepper”. I like keeping things simple when I can and this tile reflects this thought perfectly. Upon refelction, I think I will start using other pen thickness more often since I am very pleased with how this came out.

Until next post…
