Oh these are all so wonderful! You've inspired me to go through the refreshers...what fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heidi. Yes, it was fun to do them although at times I wondered why I am doing this. Now I am super glad I pulled through what I committed myself to.
DeleteOk, Susie...I'm finally starting to catch up here. Going to take me a long time! So the pleasure will last and last. This entire project is really staggering--such a huge undertaking. I cannot believe you took this on. First comment: The way you have blended these tangles together on each tile, so that each flows into the next, is so impressive. Some of these tangles I've never been able to figure out how to combine with others; but you have! Every tile is wonderful. But (second comment): I actually had to stop dead when I got to October 9th because I thought it was embroidered, not drawn. And what you did with Betweed in that tile is truly inspirational. I could go on and on but I'd be up all night. So impressed. And this is just post #1 in my "catching up" project (I have over 200 unread Zentangle posts, not to mention another 600-800 posts in other areas of interest that I haven't read yet). Looking forward to slowly going thru your posts.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the international Zentangle enthusiasts, M, and thanks for visiting my refresher page. Believe me when I say that I struggled enough to get them all done, but not once did I think of quitting. There were tangle refresher combinations I took several deep breaths before I started, hoping for a wonder to hit my creative side of my brain. What helped a lot though was the time I spent with the tangles by themselves. Every tangle I hadn't done yet I practiced first, eventually drawing it as a mono-mini-tile. Also, I dropped all challenges and ignored most other tanglers' sites, kept to myself nicely tucked away in my own world. No influences, no longing, no stress, and no competition! Did I learn a lot? Yes, one thing I learnt for sure. There are tangles I hate to even look at. When I drew them and gave them my own little touch, whoosh! they turned to interesting little jewels to me.
