Diva Weekly Challenge No. 84


This is my work for the Diva Weekly Challenge No. 84 "String Theory v.  XI: Blind-Sighted".  At first I was going to draw the outside borders then do just the string “Blind”, but I decided to do all the pencil marks blind. So I closed my eyes and began drawing, once I had marks for my tile, I opened my eyes and began to tangle. As this is my first Diva’s challenge I decided I wanted to do more traditional tiles filling each area with a different tangle, as I learned in my 1st Zentangle® class.  

For those of you unfamiliar with Zentangle, the string is a line or series of lines you draw on the tile, which serves a number of purposes:
  •   First it removes the fear of an empty tile
  •   It acts as a Guide
  •   It gives you separate sections to work in
First the string....

And the finished Tile....

  1. Roy, welcome to the challenge. I think the string you closed your eyes to produce was the beginning of a really wonderful tile! Will look forward to seeing more challenges in the future!
