Description:

For some reason, I keep using some patterns and skipping others. Does this happen to you too? Well, this swap will solve that! We'll be going through the patterns in alphabetic order and playing with each one of them! ;)

For this swap you will have 1 partner and you will make for them 2 zentangles using 3.5" x 3.5" tiles with following patterns: ALL ABOUT V and ALLIUM.


Explanation:

You will use standard sized tiles 3.5" x 3.5" cut from watercolor paper or thin white cardstock. You will use only black archival pen for drawing. Shading with graphite pen is optional. No colored pencils or pens are allowed. We're making black & white zentangles.

You can use strings from tanglepatterns.com for your zentangles or come up with your own strings. You may use as many patterns as you wish but you have to include ALL ABOUT V and ALLIUM or it's variation inside your zentangles (they might be each on different tiles or together on same tile.

Place your tiles inside notecard or thin cardstock for protection and mail it inside an envelope. Don't forget to add your username and name of the swap on a note sent along.


Few basic tips for those new to zentangles:

  • cut your tiles straight to dimension 3,5" x 3,5" without guide lines for cutting showing on front of the tile

  • keep your hand steady while drawing and try to make as monotonous lines as possible

  • don't make patterns too small (smaller you make them, messier that will look, specially if you're working with wider tipped pen)

  • try to practice a pattern on blank paper with different pens to see a difference before adding them to your tiles

I'll keep this open for newbies but no one with unresolved 1s or 3s can enter. I'll check prior to assigning partners. And, yes, I will angel if needed AFTER you rate your partner with 1.

Anyone who joined and haven't met sending deadline, will be removed from any future zentangle challenges hosted by me.

Questions and comments welcome - leave them below and I'll respond asap.

Have fun tangling!

I do all of my zentangles on Bristol paper. Is that OK for your zentangle swaps?

Yes.
