This week's Zendala Dare has the added request from Erin that we use our favourite tangles in honour of her birthday. Not an easy thing to do for me since I have many, many favourites, and even my absolute favourites change frequently. Some days I favour grids, some days, something more organic. Some days I force myself to tangle when I'm just not in the mood, and then if I'm not happy with the result, a particular tangle may take on disfavour for a while… So. This one is for Erin - Happy Birthday Erin! The Heartstring is for the love of Zentangle and all that Erin gives, and gives, and gives. 'Nzeppel was really hard for me to understand, but once I got it, I've had hours of fun with it. And Gneiss - well it worked here, and I love how it is so simple but has such huge impact. I wanted to do another Zendala this week, because there are a few more tangles I would like to use on this template, but it's not going to happen. Now I'm off to look at others work. (And Erin, I didn't get a chance to comment on your blog post about the fellow who just wanted the templates and nothing else - so I just want to say, WE LOVE YOU! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING, 'CAUSE YOU DO IT SO WELL!)

'Nzeppel is one of my favorite tangles also. I like how it develops and that you can do it in a structured grid or more free form. Never quite sure it I think of it as a floral pattern or a stone walkway. Like the Heartstring around the outside.
Your Dare turned out just great! I also did mine using a fine line colored pen. I really like the way this looks.
Gorgeous zendala.
Heartstrings makes a great border. All in all, a great Dare.
I like your zendala, I like it a lot. The color in it makes is very beautiful as the tangles do too.
Oh yes, really good choices - when I see other people's tangles, I think, oh no, THAT's my favourite! Nzeppel took me a while to get but now I adore it. Great Zendala! Axxx
Oh Sue it is beautiful the Nzeppel with the brown and black pen. Gives so much depth. I like your hearts at the outside of the zendala, they are looking great.
