I'm All "Tangled" Up....

This week's challenge at I am the Diva blogspot, is to learn a new tangle called Pendrills, which you can find here on the Zentangle blog.  I did the tile below with the new tangle...and added a few blooms....not sure why, but....mostly, because I could! LOL! I think I really like this new tangle.


This next photo was another new challenge for me.  It's called Mehndi.  I'd never heard of it, so I did a little research and decided to give it a try. (Mehndi is the traditional art of henna painting in India and the Middle East.)   I traced my left hand onto Bristol board and then proceeded to add a few tangles.  I really like how this came out...really cool!



Thanks so much for stopping by!  Your comments are welcomed and much appreciated!  Until next time....

Hugs!

You are really going to town with these black and white techniques! I love them. The simplicity of the black on white really puts the focus on the wonderful designs.

Love your Pendrills: sometimes a Zentangle just Asks for something, like blooms!
And I love your mendhi hand: I really need to try this.
