Zendala Dare #51
This week's Zendala Dare caught me a little off guard. Take a look at the template and then I'll explain what I mean.

Zendala Dare #49 |
At first glance I thought this weeks template was pretty original. As I started to work on it, it became obvious that it had similar characteristics to Zendala Dare #49.
It made me start to wonder why I had created to templates that were so similar. Do I just like those shapes? Are those shapes just more likely to be formed using the techniques I have been using to create my templates? Am I subconsciously creating similar shapes because tangles fit easily into them? I don't know what the answer is, and I guess it doesn't really matter, I just find it interesting why our brains do the things they do.

Tangles: Striping, Plugs, Dooleedo |
I like how the Doolee Do worked in the border and I think the other tangles filled the spaces nicely but I will have to work on the shading of Plugs a little bit.
Hope you have a fantastic week!
Love this template and your zendala! Yahoo on your 86! Hope your week continues to be blessed.
ReplyDeleteWow, Erin! Can you believe that you've been doing this for almost a year? Thanks so much! I now have a wonderful collection of art because of you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 86!
Yes, good on you!!!! 86 is great.
ReplyDeleteSo is your zendala, it looks quite complicated and beautiful on the black backgroud.
Nowadays I get your new Dare on Sunday morning, so one of the first things after getting out of bed is ..... Yes, of cours :-)
Thanks for another great template.

ReplyDeletecongratulations on your exam :) you are going to be an awesome nurse!
ReplyDeleteI just love your zendala and appreciate the work you put into doing these "dares" for us. I am always amazed at how different everyone makes theirs. (I never peek before I draw so I won't subconsciously copy and idea.)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first submission - just started Zentangles a few weeks ago, but am definitely addicted!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Zendala Dares.
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin! This is not my best work, but it was fun! I really liked the design!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin for another great Zendala. Congrats on your great grade. Keep up the good work. : )
ReplyDeleteGreat template Erin! Congratulations for getting a good grade; keep up the good (hard) work! I love your tile - especially Doolee Do, which is one of my favorites, but I don't see it often.
ReplyDeleteErin, I really love your Zendala. The border is terrific and your choice of tangles is perfect. Thanks for your hard work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making and posting the templates every week. I really enjoy making those zendala's.
