Make Something Monday - Zentangle Challenge

Line Tangle

Draw some lines on your page, making sure there is enough space between them. You could also use wavy lines, straight lines, zig-zags etc. Zentangle each line in different ways. You can add branches, spots, repeated patterns etc. Here is a quick example 

You could colour too, if you wish.

Fill it up Tangle

This challenge is the opposite of last week. This time, the shape you draw will contain zentangle patterns.

White Space Tangle

This challenge involves leaving a white shape in the centre of the page, and creating zentangle patterns around it. For example, you could draw the outline of an animal, a leaf, a flower, or any other recognisable object. 

Don’t draw any details within your shape. Around your shape, create sections and draw a zentangle pattern in each one. Here are some examples taken from the Internet

Make Something Monday - Zentangle Challenge

Emotion Tangle

You can use zentangle patterns to show how you feel. First, create a template with 7 sections. 

I have used clouds, but you can use hearts, circles or a grid. Every day, draw a zentangle that reflects your emotion that day. Try to use your imagination rather than copying patterns. At the end of the week you will have a fabulous ‘emotion tangle’ that will only mean something to you. 

Here is a quick example:

Creature Tangle

Look at the creatures you see in your garden or the park. (You can also look up ‘garden creatures’ on Google to help you). What patterns do you notice? 

Draw 6-8 circles on your page. In each circle, draw a zentangle pattern based on the creatures you found. You can choose any of their body parts (markings, eyes, wings etc). 

Here is one as an example:
