On the fourth day of 3Zs
Bijou tangled me
Some marasu encircling . . .
Winsome bits of shattuck,
Fetching diva dancing,
And a tile full of tripoli!
Alfie said he was concerned that he'd lose his place in this huge book. So he chose this necklace that Maria beaded to use as a bookmark. (We think he just used that as an excuse to show it off!)
Thank you all for continuing to play with these twelve days!

And here is the stepout for marasu:
See you tomorrow!
Wonderful Marasu! Your tiles fit so beautifully together as a mosaic!!
ReplyDeleteMarasu gives me the shivers because it resembles the markings of a poisonous snake... all except for the colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this fun Christmas challenge!! I'm loving it! ❤❤
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun! I've never tried Marasu. I'm finding I only have time to do 1 tile a day, but I'm looking forward to seeing the 12 at the end!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of peppermint candy, can't wait to make my tile!
ReplyDeleteI've been checking your blog since before noon for today's post! Now to somehow fit all four tangles on one 9"x12" page of my sketchbook!
ReplyDeleteCan`t believe it - I started a renaissance tile beginning with marasu just this afternoon - how crazy!!!
ReplyDelete"the necklace that Maria beaded" . . . is there anything you CAN'T do?!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Encircling you with my Whispers of Aloha on this 4th day of 3zs...
ReplyDeleteWonderful Christmas challenge... thanks.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun - loving the challenge.
ReplyDeleteMarasu is another of my favorite tangles though I usually do on tan tiles. Will just have to restrain myself. So much fun to see how everyone's tiles turn out! PS: Alfie is smart to want to show it off and PPS: Agree with Carol, above, is there no end to your talent? So glad there isn't and you share it with us all.
ReplyDeleteJust finished my Marasus.......5 on a little 3Z plus all the tangles of the days before, very challenging!
ReplyDeleteYay, day 4 and another fun tangle! Loving all the tiles each day, along with the beautiful book, elf, and the necklace! Off to tangle....
ReplyDeleteMarasu is one of my favorites! Having so much fun with these challenges ��

ReplyDeleteSo simple, yet so neat looking when completed. That's why I love these tangles! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy challenge is to find enough time to read the blog!!!! I'm tangling in my head!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Alfie is showing off the necklace because it's gorgeous! I played with Marasu recently and really loved it!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see the mosaic growing with beautiful tangles we all can draw, also people who just have started.Tthat is the real magic of Zentangle: it is possible for everyone to create beautiful results!!!
ReplyDeleteOops. I don't think my comment went through. Just said that Alfie had a truly lovely necklace!
ReplyDeleteSimple yet striking tangle! Cool! I showed my tangles to my mom today and she said, "it kinda pulls you in, doesn't it? Maybe that means my beginner's tangles are on the right track! :)
