This week is a very special challenge, dedicated to Rho Densmore, CZT; creator of the tangle. Fiore di Pietro tangle is a beautiful loving tribute to Rho’s brother-in-law. Please go to the Diva Site to learn more about this and other challenges. Rho has asked for permission to use our zentangles, ZIA’s and zendalas to create books for the immediate family. A special note to Rho: My deepest sympathies and I would be honored if you chose to use any of the pieces that end up on this post. I. too, know the pain of loss, having lost my Father, my Mother, and two younger brothers within the past two years.
This first one I’ve called “The Lives We Touch”. I decided to do a zendala, because circles and spheres speak to me of eternity. In this piece, the outside lines connecting each of the Fiore di Pietro’s represents the ties that bind us to others in our lives. It can be the bond of love, or blood, or friendship, beliefs, and common interests just to name a few. The auras on the inside of the lines speaks to me of our sphere of influence. Be it narrow or wide, who we are and what we do influences others. I hope you will enjoy using all our art for your tribute to Pete.
If I have time, I will do another tile using this beautiful tangle. Until next time Happy Tangling.
Tangle With Linda 
You’ve used such imagination in drawing the different patterns in your beautiful zendala, and your words are really thought-provoking.
Lorraine’s comment reflects my response as well…this is a delightful,creative and introspective addition to the body of work that this challenge has generated. Thank you for sharing it. Your blog background is a fitting accompaniment to it as well, setting a mysterious yet calming mood.
I love the way they tie together…one eternal round, great idea! You have experienced so much loss in this past 2 years… I hope that you have found them watching over you, it makes them feel oh, sort of a letter or a phone call away. I do extend my sympathies to you and I am so glad you shared so much beauty with us this week.
Beatiful zendala, especially beautiful is the knowledge of what you are saying with it.
Your touch is gentle, thoughtful and full of compassion.
Fabulous zendala. I loved hearing about your thought process in the creation of this wonderful work of art. Great job. 🙂
I love that you did the tile in a circle…I am very into the “circle of life” and this really emphasizes that thought! thank you for the process behind your tangle.
so pretty. your tangle has great “flow”.
This is so beautiful. I like the idea of binding them together. I am sorry for your losses in recent years, also. A beautiful tile.
I love that you did this challenge in a circle! I struggled a bit with how to put this tangle on my tile …
Love your connections and your write up with your explanation about your tile.
linda – i like the way you made each combination totally different – lovely work!
