This week's Zentangle Challenge from Laura at www.iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com is to "Use My Tangle" Jailed Johnny.

I love the renaissance tiles, but would love to take a class in just working with them - they are so different!

Love the tile you did this week. As for sharpeners, if all else fails I use my exacto knife and sharpen mine that way.
The tile looks great. I have to admit I have not used my white charcoal pencil a lot. It is soft and I think I press to hard to keep it from being too light. I have read other comments though that breakage is a problem with these.
Wonderful tile! Great choice of tangles!
Beautifully organic, love the subtle highlights and richness of the Renaissance tile and your coloring. Great job.
I like your tile, it is really lovely.
I feel,the same way, these tiles are quite diffrent to work on.
Very interesting how you made it into a long chain!! So much fun that way! ~ Diane Clancy
