Day Fourteen, Creation Fourteen

Day Fourteen was all about the “Decorative Value” technique that you can bring into your Zentangle tile. For those that are not familiar Decorative Values, it is using different levels of shading to give depth. On my piece, I use three different levels of shading; one per plane. The lightest plane, therefore appearing the closet,…

Day Twelve, Creation Twelve

Balance and harmony was today’s theme. What a perfect thought. We all could use some of that in our lives- right? Balancing our finances, our households and relationships. Bringing harmony to our emotions, marriage and work-life. These things are not only important to our very existence, but it is also important in creating art. Day…

Day Eleven, Creation Eleven

I finally feel great this evening! After some well deserved rest a from a head-cold I have been battling, I am starting to feel human again and ready to take on my art! Day eleven brought on a new challenge for me.  The book stated I could use any tangle I learned so far to…

Day Ten, Creation Ten

Well, here I am, I finally made it to day ten! There was a slight delay in posting this one- my birthday got in the way, but now I am back on track. Birthday celebrations aside, learning these new tangles took some time and practice. I tend to practice in my journal so I don’t…

Day Nine, Creation Nine

I was so excited when I turned to day nine in my “One Zentangle A Day” book. Day nine brought something I haven’t done before; working with a white pen on a black tile! This day’s challenge required me to do a little shopping. First , the black tile. Acquiring black tiles that were readily…

Day Eight, Creation Eight

It’s hard to believe that I have posted eight entries as of today to the One Zentangle a Day self-imposed challenge I undertook. Maybe it’s my imagination, but it feels like this is getting easier as I delve deeper into each page of the book. Day eight focused more on making each section appear to…

Day Seven, Creation Seven

I had a great time with today’s theme: Tangleations! What is a Tangleation you ask? It’s where you take already learned tangles and combine them to make a new tangle variation. It’s like a music mash-up without a melody. At first, I thought this challenge would be hard- deciding which tangles to combine, how I…

Day Six, Creation Six

Saturday. The day of sleeping and getting much needed rest from yet another exhausting work week. I will be the first to admit that my workdays were not filled with time-sensitive stressful projects, but I will say that if I look at another spreadsheet or have to type up another long-winded document, my brain might…

Day Five, Creation Five

Another day, another creation. Today’s challenge from day five’s from “One Zentangle a Day” incorporated two tangles I was already familiar with and a new one I fell in love with. The first two tangles used were “Scoodle” and a “Fescu Variation”. The new tangle I learned from this day’s challenge was called “Isochor” which…

Day Four, Creation Four

Here I am nearly a month and half later with my next creation from my own goal to create One Zentangle a Day inspired by the book with the same title. Okay, so I will be the first to admit that creating something daily may not always be possible and in my case- probable. So…

Making a Comeback…

Life has a funny way of derailing us from our goals. Sometimes it’s holidays and events that get in our way. Other times it can come from jam packed work weeks and fun filled weekends. My derailment started so simply- a fun Memorial weekend. Day after day of BBQ’s with friends and relatives. This was…

Day Three, Creation Three

I know, I know- I missed posting yesterday. Unfortunately, life had a way of getting in the way of creating art sometimes. But never fear, day three is finally here. This fun little tile features a new tangle called “Festune” and two other official Zentangles called “Hollibaugh” and “Poke Root”. Thanks for viewing! Denielle Noe
