On the third day of 3Zs
Bijou gifted me
some winsome bits of shattuck . . .
. . . Fetching diva dancing
and a tile full of tripoli.
As you can see, Alfie is not going to be left out of these festivities!
We're glad he joined in because he had the idea to gather all three day's tiles into a single mosaic
Thanks, Alfie!
Actually, Alfie just told us it was really Bijou's idea to make this mosaic. But it was easier for Alfie to climb onto our dining room table and rearrange the tiles. Alfie and Bijou are becoming quite the team and we never know what they're going to come up with next!

Thank you all for continuing to play with us on this fun tangle and mosaic!

Remember, 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.
And here is the stepout for shattuck:
This stepout is a sample of what stepouts look like in our Zentangle Mosaic app.
See you tomorrow!

P.S.
Notice on Maria's tile (the middle one of the three) that some of the tripoli is done in pencil. You can see lots of examples of this on Zentangle Mosaic (for free). Just search on the hashtag:

ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying this challenge!
ReplyDeleteLovely and whimsical. Perfect for tgis timoof year. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteShattuck is one of my 'mac-n-cheese' tangles, and I just LOVE how Maria overlapped them in her tile!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see all of them together, and the photos with elfie rock!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteStunning, as always! I love Maria's use of pencil to add a bit more dimension to the tile. I've been experimenting with this on my tiles and it is nice to see another example. Thank you!!

ReplyDeleteI've seen all sorts of interesting 3Z tile techniques on my Facebook posts...and they're all intriguing and inspiring. Thanks so much for these lovely ideas! Hope your day at ZHQ if filled with laughter and wonderment!
ReplyDeleteLove Shattuck and how each of your 3Zs incorporate it with prior days' tangles which makes the Mosaic that much more cohesive. Very fun and beautiful. Getting busy on my own for the challenge momentarily!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tiles and assembly! Thanks for the inspirations!
ReplyDeleteShattuck is one of my favorites! So versatile.
ReplyDeleteLiving the mosaics you are building. So much inspiration �� Happy Holidays! Happy Tangling!
Anxious to start my third tile with Shattuck! I have a "new found" love for this tangle after watching Maria simply draw it at zenAgain.

ReplyDeleteI'm really new to Zentangle had a lesson by a certified teacher here in Australia only a couple of weeks ago, I am amazed at how simple designs can make such beautiful intricate images. Thank you for the 12 days of Christmas I look forward to following each day and seeing the end results.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, at this time of the year, to take a break and see how " Alfie" is making a mosaic of these beautiful 3Z tiles! Thanks for the inspiration.

ReplyDeleteSo glad to see Alfie back this year! Bijou and Alfie make a great team! Gorgeous tiles!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tiles!
ReplyDeleteI love tiling -- putting together different geometric shapes, often in different colors, to make interesting and lovely patterns. I can see after today's blog that these 3Z's are going to be great fun to put together into all kinds of shapes of mosaics, and since they're 3 1/2" per side, they're combinable with standard square tiles as well to create even more possible shapes. I just keep saying the same thing: what fun!
ReplyDeleteThree amazing, beautiful 3Z tiles!!! The mosaic is stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the tiles together.... great idea, Bijou and Alfie.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Love the mosaic!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the tangles used so far - such a treat each day to see what beauty will be shared. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever and interesting way you are presenting this series of 12 Days of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the mosaic!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! Shattuck is one of my faves.

ReplyDeleteBusy trying to finish out end of semester with my Graphic Design students right now, but saving all these for "me time" once the semester is over, AND looking forward to integrating them as fun class exercises come spring semester!
ReplyDeleteBijou and Alfie,they are so cute.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful way to display the tiles. I can't wait for a chance to tangle on those.
ReplyDeleteI love what you all have done! I also love the way the 3Zs fit together!!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your work! :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see Alfie joining in. Amazing how your 'O' tile with its borders echoes the band across the bottom of the book's backstrip - I could just sit & gaze at this for hours.......... a little bit of peace midst the gathering pace.
ReplyDeleteAlfie and Bijou in perfect harmony - a 3Zs note ! Jackie S CZT XIII
