I don't know if it's okay to base the Zentangle within and around another image or if the rules are, sticking to a line scribble shape and making this into a design.
My basic shape was inspired by an oriental exotic bird image, then I added a "planned scribble" shape so it grew a big flower tail, then a leaf and a fan shape appeared as I doodled away.
I'm not sure if this is okay, I have seen tangle done within a stamped image so I thought I might get away with this. If you know there are rules, please let me know what they are.
I liked my exotic tangled bird anyway, so here he is.
Why don't you join Sherry too and give it a go.
I had great fun creating this.
Let me know what you're thinking.

ReplyDeleteHi Alexandra...could you e-mail me...your e-mail address seems to have disappeared from my address book...hugs kath xxx
ReplyDeleteAlexandra, I love your bird, it is absolutely stunning. I know enough so far that anything that is not a true Zentangle is called 'Zentangle Inspired Art', so if you want to call your designs by a name, then ZIA it is!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your encouraging comments on my blog, I have a long way to go, but I love the whole process. If I can turn out creations like yours, I'd be happy, Judith xx
Thanks for this info Judith, I'm very new to Zentangle, I actually don't have much imagination yet, for turning a thread into something fabulous. Have you visited Sherry's blog yet? Every Tuesday she does a tangle post/challenge, she's very good too.
