On the sixth day of 3Zs . . .



On the sixth day of 3Zs
Bijou handed me
Swirling molygon-ings . . .


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


As you can see, Alfie helps arrange the tiles into mosaics. He really got into it with the 21 tiles we've tangled so far and insisted that we show you some of his mosaics.







-----+-----

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

The hashtag for today's tile is: #6thdayof3zs

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 molygon:



If you have a moment or two, you may enjoy reading the story of molygon in this newsletter.

See you tomorrow!

  7. I can't believe we are on day 6! I'm having so much fun with this. I was having tangle block and this has unblocked me!

  8. Molygone - one of my favorite tangles!!

    ReplyDelete
  9. And it makes me happy that we get to make golden tipples on all the tiles if we want, for the rest of them. I had thought only ON day 5, which now I realize would have been silly!

    1. I thought the very same thing, Ragged Ray! The colors, the shining sparkles, Alfie's creative displays...I can almost smell and taste these bits of delight! My imagination is childlike at Christmas and Rick and Maria's beautiful creation inspires me to showcase Zentangle this time of year. What better time to get festive and tangle cookies!!!

  21. Marvelous mosaics by Alfie (and thanks to any friends who may have helped him!). These 12 days are really proving to be a wonderful introduction to the possibilities with 3Z's.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Wonderful Molygon!! And the tiles you integrated Molygon in are so beautiful. I fell especially in love with the one with only Divadance and Molygon (filled with tipple). It has so much motion - great!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Just WOW! I need to start working with Molygons again; and, the ideas you've come up with are just perfect. Alfie's mosaics are incredible and simply lovely to peruse! Zentangle has obviously been one of your (all of you) best blessings and you in turn have blessed us as well! Thank you all.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wish we could make it the 21 days or 33 days. Such fun!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Have only tried Molygon twice with less than stellar results so am looking forward to taking a deep breath, slowing down and focusing to do today's challenge. Love how beautiful all the days' tiles look together. Alfie has done a great job in creating wonderful mosaics, showcasing the versatility of the 3Zs. Awesomeness!

  32. Molygon is one of the more intriguing tangles I've seen lately. Also, I've been toying with the idea of papering a certain wall with Zentangle tiles.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm so happy to see Molygon, one of my faves! Also, it plays super well with tripoli, and I cannot believe I hadn't realized that before.
