Challenge #245 - Back to Basics

Hollibaugh is one of the foundations of tangling.  It is literally the first tangle I teach when I am sharing Zentangle with someone new because it uses the drawing behind method that so many other tangles use as well.

You can see step outs of Hollibaugh here

This tangle, in particular, really lends to that complex look that tangling can have, but in reality it is really quite simple.

This week's challenge is to use one of the foundation tangles, Hollibaugh. It's a great basic tangle that enhances and adds a wonderful addition to any Zentangle. I use it often and choose to go the organic curvy, durvy route with this tangle. I love to enhance it with Mooka like appendages and varied sizes when creating this particular tangle.

Challenge #112- Use My Tangle - Tuxedo by LeAnn

The Diva's challenge this week is a Use My Tangle first Monday of the month challenge using LeAnn (Ledenzer) tangle Tuxedo, check out her directions. It's a pretty structured tangle that is not in my comfort zone. So I was a little trepidatious especially  after viewing some of the wonderful solutions for this week. So, I took a deep breathe then jumped in and tried to go with the flow (as is my nature). I just concentrated on the lovely curves and overlaps this tangle creates. My version is wonky and only slightly resembles LeAnn's beautiful tangle, but I enjoyed the process and the exploration. I let it flow and tried to breathe and relax, "there are no mistakes in the Zentangle process" right?

So here it is, sort of, Tuxedo, Lampions, Beadz, Float fest and lots of leaves, Aura's, and Perfs, who knew Check out all the wonderful solutions to this week's challenge at the Diva's site.
