Sanibelle Challenge

Weekly Challenge #57 over at Laura Harms' blog is to explore Tricia Faraone's tangle sanibelle. (See challenge for sanibelle directions.)

We love this tangle!

• It is made up of only a few basic components . . . in this case just two.
• It isn't immediately obvious how to draw it.
• It is quite simple, even though its result appears complex
• It is fun to shade
• It can fill all types of spaces
• It is beautiful
• It is fun

And, I must add that Maria really enjoys this one because

• It's "curvy"

One of our Zentangle themes is that there is no up or down to a Zentangle. When I took a picture of Maria's tile for this challenge, I noticed it exhibited different "flavors" in different orientations.

Enjoy!

As I was sizing this last image in PhotoShop, I pressed the "wrong" combination of keys and this appeared:

I loved the woodcut trailing bubbles through water "mistake." A good example of another Zentangle theme, "There are no mistakes in Zentangle."

This is why we deliberately don't include an eraser in our Zentangle Kit and why our custom pencils have a gold cap instead of an eraser:

Thank you, Tricia!

Enjoy sanibelle, everyone!
