Zentangle Dare #10

This is my contribution to Erin's Zendala Dare of the week (see www.thebrightowl.blogspot.ca). I enjoyed this one, even though I "rushed" through it because it's a very busy week. As usual when I'm hurrying, I wanted to make it simple, but got caught up in all the fabulous tangles - couldn't decide which to use - so used as many as I could :) I made a few mistakes along the way, but that's ok, it's all part of the process. (Starting outside, clockwise from the top: wisket, nightsbridge, jonqual, chard, jalousie, bitten, stax, gewurtz, and moving day; then inside: facets, zedbra, voxter, footlights, slink, and crescent moon) Thanks again Erin for a fun template!

Zendala Dare #8

This week's Zendala Dare (#8) posted by Erin at www.thebrightowl.blogspot.ca, is to use the template she created and use only tangles that start with the letters L, O, V, and E. This is in honor of her friends Jenn and Travis who are getting married! I LOVE this particular challenge for a number of reasons... First, I'm a romantic! Second, I get to use some of my favorite tangles (see the first tile - all tangles I've used and love). Third, I decided to do a second tile with tangles I've never used before because there were so many that start with those letters that I've never even attempted. Which lead to a third tile because I've discovered even more tangles that I just couldn't resist trying! On the third tile, I cheated... somewhat, by using the tangle named All about "V" because I figured it was close enough in name to be acceptable. I hope everyone else enjoyed this template as much as I did.

1st Zendala done with tangles I've used before, and LOVE: L= Lokomotive, O= Ornamento, V= Versa, E= Efilys

2nd Zendala done with new to me tangles (and as I'm writing this I just realized that I did two tangles starting with L, and none with E...(sigh, I meant to use eye-wa or emingle): L= Loave it and Looplopp, O= Ojo, V= Voxter

Well, I guess it's a good thing I did a 3rd tile with new to me tangles: L= Longwood, O= Opus, V= Vigne, E= Eke and Ennies, and the border is one of the variations of "all about V"
