Zendala Dare #12

Here's my entry for this weeks Zendala Dare (#12) set by the Bright Owl every Friday.  Every week we are given a template to use, and this week's starting point was:


Now......this stumped me at first, it being only my second ever zendala!  So I thought I'd go for something completely different for me - bright and bold and lots of black.  I'm new to zentangling and it's all hard for me but I've found the tangle "Punch", by Sandy Bartholomew, particularly challenging as it just seems to end up a mess for me!  So I thought I'd try that under the petal shape sections to see if a larger scale made it any easier - and it did!


Hope you like my zendala - and thank you for looking.

    This is super. It's simple, but dramatic. And the touch of color adds a special punch. It is hard to believe you have no experience. You sure look like you do. Glad you joined in.

    If your second zendala is as great as this, what can we expect form the 10th? Love it!

    Beautiful Zendala! I especially like the part in the middle that looks like raffia. Thanks for taking the Dare!

    Thank you so much everybody! I can't tell you how much it means to me to have been accepted so readily and warmly into the world of zentangle. I'm enjoying this form of art so much! It takes me AGES to make that first mark - I really seem to have a mental block about that clean white paper, which is why I often do a splashy watercolour wash first. I have so much to learn - I just wish there could be a CZT seminar here in the UK that I could go to, as travelling to the US is just not an option for me.

      Your work is brilliant Lorraine, I love the use of colour and the raffia in your design. You would make a great CZT teacher so let's hope that there is a chance to do it in the UK in the future.
