The Tangletastic Challenge Wk 43 | Zentangle in Black & White Bliss - Tiny Tangles

Hello, Tanglers! 🎉

It's Week 43 of the Tangletastic Challenge✨

This week, it's Black & White Bliss, and your task is Tiny Tangles - fill your tile with small, detailed patterns.

To develop this idea, you might consider:

• Where can you slow right down and let a pattern get really small and fiddly?

• What happens when you swap your usual bold strokes for something delicate and intricate?

• Can you fill a whole tile with nothing but tiny repeated marks, and see how that feels?

  
  

Here are samples from Chris (Govan) and Pauline Herbert:

Chris used a prestrung tile with Tipple, Knightsbridge, Bales & Printemps, all by Zentangle HQ, and Daisy Chain by Annie Reiser and Raku (unknown)

Pauline said, "My tiny tangles - I used a reference photo of a tree that lives in the Humber Ditch, close to my home. Quite a few tiny tangles in there. Created 3rd November 2022".

If you've enjoyed this challenge and you're thinking, "I want more of this", come and join us in the Tangle Emporium. It's where we do this every month: tangling, slowing down, switching the brain off for a bit, and actually enjoying the process.

A lovely little community of people who get it. It's just £35 a month, and there's no pressure, no hustle, just calm and creativity on repeat. We'd love to have you.

Join the Tangle Emporium here.

Over to you!

Remember, the Tangletastic Challenge isn't a 'challenge' per se. It's meant to be a fun tangling 'challenge' to help you develop your Zentangle tiles, so don't overthink it. It's all about playing. Your tiles can be as simple as a 2" x 2" square.

Once you've created your tile, please share it in the Tangletastic group and then add it to the relevant album in the group (our Tangle Gallery)

I can't wait to see your tiles sparkle in the Tangle Gallery! 🌀👑

✨ Remember to stick to 'The Rules' ✨

1. Tangle to the weekly prompt.

2. Share your creation in my Tangletastic Facebook Group, and in the Tangle Gallery under the relevant prompt.

3. Share it on Instagram using #TangletasticChallenge and #Tangletastic, and remember to tag me @ruby2shoesdesign. 📸💖 Sharing on Facebook works too! 🌀👑

4. 💬 Share the Love: Comment on at least three other posts each week. This isn't a competition. Every tangle is magical! See someone's post without a comment? Please leave a little sparkle for them.

   
   

🌟 NB. ✨ While I'll be cheering you all on, I won't be commenting on every single post personally: The magic of this challenge is in us supporting one another as a community. 💖
