This week is “Use my Tangle week; and Laura challenged us to use Socc, by Erin Koetz Olsen, the CZT who runs the zendala dare at http://thebrightowl.com. This is a tangle I had never drawn before, and it took me a couple of times of practice to get the strokes right. It is quite dramatic, and I must have been in a very organic mood this week, which you’ll see in the tiles I did below. Here’s the first photo:
Both of these tiles are drawn in Sakura Micron 01 pens on a 3.5″ zentangle tile. The left tile is really quite simple, with Socc in the middle, and Flux variation and a big flower (ala Sandy Bartholomew) on the outside, with a single aura around the whole tile. The tile on the right starts with Socc in the middle also; but then I added several Bronx cheers (only one of them is covering a booboo). I also included a couple of lonely Socc squares, a partial of the official ZT tangle, Sampson, a few individual ennies leaves, and some embellishment type of drawings also from Sandy Bartholomew.
Then I did a 5″ square ZIA colored with Tombow Irogiten colored pencils.
This tile starts with a small rectangle in the center of Socc, surrounded by variations of Crescent Moon and a variation of either Ennies or Flux (take your pick). The border is Tideberry by Sandy Bartholomew. Between the border and the main part of the piece are Baseflake and Flake by Sandy Bartholomew from Yoga for the Brain; and some small Printemps and a few orbs.
Hope you will let me know you were here. Hey, I got done really early this week. Also, stop by the Diva’s website (see link on the right) and take a gander at all the lovely eye candy. Until next time, Happy Tangling!
Beautiful, beautiful Socc!
Love your tiles. They are awesome.
Beautiful tiles. The first one looks like a greeting card tile.
love your tiles! the first one is my favorite with it’s beautiful borders.
Think I Like the one on the right the best. Like the white spaces and maybe it fits with this time of year with the leaves lying around. Like the one with the colored pencils. Recognize some of the things from “Yoga for the Brain”.
Your first one is such a fun combination of tangles. Who would think mooka would make such a lovely corner? Very clever!
All great, but the first one is my favorite. Love the flowers and the aura around the whole tile.
These are so gorgeous, they could be embroidery pieces! I love the first one for its’ simplicity of design, too.
Okay–love, love, love–especially the snowflakes! The first one with the flowers is so pretty! Great job on all three!
A touch of nature with a stylish socc adds up to some lovely tangling Linda.
Beautiful work on all 3! Your color version is amazing, soothing and lovely!
Beautiful all three of them. i can’t choose wich one I prefer the most. I love the colored one, but ther first one with the sunflowers is gorgeous too. Well done.
