Monotangle?

So here again, is the Weekly Challenge from Laura Harms (I THINK I've been spelling it correctly, but I won't swear to it!)  :  )

This week, Laura challenges us to create a Zentangle tile Using Only One Tangle! Oh, what fun!

First, let me refer you to my tile for the first Challenge:  "Simplicity" That one used only Cadent in graduated sizes of pen.

So, of course, Cadent leaped immediately to mind, but that wouldn't have been challenging at all, since I was Done already.
I thought of  Flux, since I love to draw those swoopy, leafy shapes. But my first few attempts were disappointing. Then I thought of Betweed. I Really like the way this one looks in the long, narrow, ribbon-y format. Again, I was not happy! Too stilted.

Maggie, you're Overthinking again! It's Zentangle!!!

Once I added the third, slightly different area of Betweed, I was much happier!

So then I said, "While you're Flowing, instead of Thinking, draw a string and try Flux one more time.





Much Better!!

I'll have more this weekend. I've been very productive this week!

  6. They are both beautiful. The rope-y feel of Betweed is wonderful. Flux is soft and romantic. How could any others you did be unhappy?
