100 Days of Zentangle
...continued from previous post...
Day 48 & 61 - Quib and Borbz
Day 65 - Zajo...with iLeaf and my new tangle Loom I.Am (see below) on a water colored distressed and transparent gel Diva Dance engraved tile. It wasn't easy to draw, let alone shade on this tile because the background tangle Diva Dance felt like candle wax.
Day 68 - Fragment L002. Yet another bleached black tile. This tile I bleached about a week ago and it is still soggy and therefore almost impossible to draw on. If you want to shade with the tortillion you scrape the surface paper off. Have you ever tried to draw on a wet, soggy cardboard? And I still have a few of these tiles left.....
Another soggy tile...based on Day 49 - Sand, altered.
Day 67 & 70 - Debeer and Snircles
Day 73 - Well Love
Day 77 - Munchin...with Mooka
Day 78 - Kuke...with Fragment D001.
♻️ Day 63 - Hamail, day 75 - Emoball and day 76 - Panepinto. Again drawn on cacti wrapping paper which becomes quickly my favorite despite the paper being very thin.
Day 81 - Auraknot....inside and out into Mooka.
Day 80 - Drawings with Ria Matheussen's new and very beautiful tangle Emera (I intend to use this tangle more often) and Fescu.
Day 79 - Rumpus.
Day 66 - Rouche and day 82 - Hartfents.
Day 24 - Rainbow Bridge and day 38 - Yah
Day 24 - Rainbow Bridge on a very tricky tile. The tile was so distressed my pens scratched and slit over the paper, and sometimes the pens left no evidence they were ever running over a certain spot on the paper. My worst tile yet except for the colors.

Square One
Square One week April 23-29 with tangle Cider. Additional tangles: Mooka, Emera, Xac and Fescu.Inspired by....
Inspired by...Fragment D001. Here it grows a bit in each star starting with star at 11 o'clock going clockwise. In the 2nd tile I digitally enhanced the stars according to growth from light to dark. Update May 20, 2021: The 'star" is now my new tangle X-Wing Star. Step out in next post.
A Fragment inspiration. I took the simple fragment FS-Z018 as a Reticula grid and placed it again within, 4 in all (below), decreasing in size, just like the Russian Matryoshka doll.
Inspired by Zentangle Artists' Video Tutorials

From my Garden
I have had cacti for...yeeears, but was pretty unlucky concerning blooming. I
had already given up believing I have the wrong kind of cacti...e.g. males if
there is such a thing, when I did a big cleanup. I changed their soil and gave
them vitamins. Here is another result. 3 different cacti blooming in white,
yellow and pink at the same time (there would have been 4, but I was too late
taking the picture).
This is yet another beauty in my garden, Trinidad and Tobago's national flower Chaconia, or “Wild Poinsettia” or “Pride of Trinidad and Tobago”. It is a bush-kind of plant, but mine has but one stem which, after last year's 3 flowers, branched out into 3 stems. This year 2 of them sprouted out into 5 flowers where the longest is 38 cm/15 inches.
The 5 flowers, 2 big and 3 small.
This is the longest of my flowers, 38cm/15 inches...
