On the 7th day of 3Zs . . .



On the seventh day of 3Zs
Bijou offered me
Dark and naughty knightsbridge . . .


Swirling molygon-ings,
Gold, glowing tipples,
Some marasu encircling,
Winsome bits of shattuck,
Fetching diva dancing,
And a tile full of tripoli!


Alfie wants to show you this shell (no, it's not Bijou!) because it reminds him of knightsbridge mixed with marasu.


When it came time to arrange this mosaic of 28 3Zs, Alfie at first felt overwhelmed.


But then in true Zentangle fashion of one tile at a time, pretty soon he had assembled this exquisite mosaic.


He was quite happy to discover that when he trusted himself, he easily created something he wanted to share with others.

-----+-----

Thank you all for continuing to play with these twelve days!

The hashtag for today's tile is: #7thdayof3zs

To see the guidelines for these 12 days, go here.

We will give out a prize for one randomly chosen poster of each day's tiles on the app and also for one randomly chosen commenter on each day's blog post. (We'll announce the winners shortly after the twelfth day.)

And here's knightsbridge:



See you tomorrow!

  12. Love dark and naughty as well as bright and nice Knightsbridge, in fact anyway it is served up. The above are beautiful exhibits of its versatility from foundatonal strong 'bricks' to fluttering checkered cloths all adding drama with its bold coloring. Thanks for bringing this to the fore as we start the second half of this challenge!

  17. I like how you turned the Knightsbridge to give it rounded edges. :-) looks like a pillow.

  18. Fascinating to see the same strings appearing & yet the tiles looking utterly different, shall have to go back over the days & see if there's a system in the strings......... Alfie certainly has his work cut out with all the tiles being arranged, I can see if he were to prevaricate he'd never get started & that's one of the most important lessons that tangling teaches............ get started

  19. Yah! Knightsbridge is my favorite tangle.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Spectacular what that little Alfie can do with these 3S tiles, he has a lot of talent!(LOL)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh Goody! I was hoping Knightsbridge would pop up:-) That Mosaic is amazing. I'm quite inspired to keep going past day 12 so I can build a collection like this.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Knightsbridge provides a nice contrast to balance some of the other tangles. The shell is cool. My fourth grade tanglers point out connections to nature--and manmade structures all the time!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I will never look at Knightsbridge the same way again... Dark and Naughty - wow!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Dark and naughty? LOL. This is such fun.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Thank you so much for the (dark and naughty) smile! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I do like the way Knightsbridge adds some "dark and naughty" to the tile!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Love this one. It's an old staple for me.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Knightsbridge.... so simple yet bold. Looks so different tiny vs. big and very square vs. more harlequinesque, so you can really get variety!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Downhill from here... this has been such a fun challenge!! 😄😄

    ReplyDelete
  30. Loving seeing all these tiles. I can't wait till evening to joininthevfun. Thank you!

  32. Nice, I know this one, let's see how I can work it in to all the others!

    ReplyDelete
  33. The mosaics the tiles are forming are fantastic!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Wow, they look so incredible! Knightsbridge is probably the first tangle I ever really noticed, and it will always remain a fave of mine. It is so simple, but has so much untapped promise. I love it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. What lovely work! Knightsbridge is such a versatile tangle and the many looks here definitely prove that! Thanks so much for all you do for all of us. Alfie is a super helper in designing the mosaics!

  46. Much more to Knightsbridge than meets the eye

    ReplyDelete
  47. Another great tangle and wonderful tiles

    ReplyDelete
  48. How exciting to be adding drama! Or should I say more drama! I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I seem to have ended up challenging myself to do a monotangle each day - which makes Knightsbridge quite a challenge - how to get interest in with only that tangle. But then of course, there is shading!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Knightsbridge, one of my many favorites, so many variations.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I enjoyed Alfie's learning process and lesson about trusting himself. Also the shell combining knightsbridge and marasu - gorgeous and a beautiful example of recognizing patterns in everyday life.

    ReplyDelete
  52. These are all so inspiring!!! Such beauty from a collection of single strokes. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Beautiful embellishments to Knightsbridge!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I'm finding it helpful / inspirational to see the basic tangles not only named and stepped out, but done in variations, and also not in the typical square --- "outside the box," as they say.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I like the way these new tiles play together!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Knightsbridge, you look fabulous anywhere I put you!💕✍🏻️💕

    ReplyDelete
  57. I love what you did with knightsbridge, all so different. I use it a lot when I want some dark to contrast with the lighter tangles.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I'm enjoying the journey with Bijou and Alfie.

    ReplyDelete
  59. How much fun you must have! Thanks for sharing your joie de vivre with us every day.

  62. Can't believe I am keeping up!

  63. This was one of the first tangles I learned in when I began tangling in January 2016. Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Now with Knightbridge is it a great combination again.

    ReplyDelete
  65. For me, Knightbridge is the parent of the grids and is so much fun with which to play!
