For this week's guest-hosted Diva Challenge, the lovely Bright Owl asked us to have fun with one of her Zendala templates.
I only discovered the pleasure of Zendalas and Erin's weekly challenges shortly before she took a break - but now she's back and I want to get back into doing them. They offer a subtly different experience than other types of tangling.
I used the graphite transfer technique to copy the template onto a standard (9cm x 9cm) sized tile and it worked way better than I expected! This would also offer a great chance to alter or omit any lines you don't fancy using.
And then I went in with my Micron - popping Sandy Hunter's delicious new Papermint tangle into the circular sections, and then a sort of Ticking variant into the leaf shapes and then a few bits of Beadlines and some tufts and dots and shading and there you have it!
It looks like it's about to fly away, and I feel a fair bit lighter than I did when I started it!
I love your zendala, beautiful flowers, nice linework and i like the ticking variant and the papermint tangle. That one i never seen before..
