Zendala Dare #116
Hello everyone! I hope your ready for a fantastic Zendala Dare.
Let me tell you a little about how I create the templates. I usually create anywhere from 5 to 10 templates at a time, whenever I have a good chunk of time. Then I upload them on my computer and each week I go through and pick one. Sometimes I create a batch that has many small spaces, sometimes a group with large spaces, or sometimes they all use similar shapes in different formats. What I never do however, is create a template with certain tangles in mind. I don't know if this is intentional or subconscious or maybe a little bit of both but I never have "tangle intent" while I'm creating the templates. This goes for picking the weekly template as week. It's nice that it ends up this way because then I can be just as surprised as you by what I create. Here's what I did this week.

Here's another view. |
I really, really love how this template turned out. I'll be honest. I picked this template because the format was simple and the spaces were large. Since I was already behind getting it up on the blog I figured this would make it easy on me. I started with the small circles I drew around the edge of the ovals but when I was done with that and the Cruffle they all looked like head dresses and I just knew that they needed faces. The problem is, I learned to Zentangle because I can't draw anything realistic. So off to Pinterest I went but to no avail. Everything was very complicated and much too realistic for this template. Then I suddenly remembered that I had seen some faces in Sandy Steen Bartholomew's book Yoga for your Brain. I used the tangles Caral and Portia to create some faces and I couldn't be happier. I was able to create exactly what I wanted and I think it turned out fantastic.
What will you create this week?
Ohhh, can't wait to try this one, except I don't tangle at night, so tomorrow.... I love your tile! As soon as I saw it, I thought "Sandy Steen Barthelemew"! Good call look at her book.

ReplyDeleteI never slide down to see what you have done before I begin work on mine. What a surprise! I can see some of Sandy's influence here. Such a fun piece! Mine is just sad next to this happy Zendala!

ReplyDeleteHi Erin,

Thanks for doing this. I know you are very busy these days what with a new job. It's so good that hospital finally reopened. I know the whole town is so relieved to have it open again.

Zeroin academy Baking Classes in Velachery will give you some of the strategies over the whipping of the cream these would be completely based on the quicker or slower process of whipping of whisking which would vary over the different factors. Sequentially the process of adding up of sugar or flavor would rely over them.
