Small, Medium, and Large

 Recently on Zentangle All Around -

my Facebook group -

guest poster Yvonne Westover challenged us to tangle the

same basic piece of art in different sizes.

 I began with a two inch tile - a Bijou from Zentangle.

Some call this a twinchie.

I decided to go with the wreath shape

and picked some basic organic tangles to use. 

I was surprised how much I could fit into a

small two inch tile. 

 Next I moved on to my middle size in the grouping.

This medium size is about 4 inches across.

Same organic tangles, just with more

attention to detail.

This is where the challenge ended -

with small and bigger -

but I wanted to carry the challenge another step.

I pulled out a 10.5" Opus tile and got to work.

This one took me a couple nights to complete.

I used the same tangles - 

printemps, flux, pokeleaf, and tipple.

To complete the piece, I pulled out a

red gelly roll pen and filled in some of those

little tipple. Zing! I loved the bit of color!

And last, I shaded the flux.  Nothing else.

Just the flux.

I love the way this tile ended up.

You never quite know going in how things will turn out. 

Why don't you give it a try?

Take 3 different size tiles -

or draw 3 different size tiles in your sketchbook -

limit yourself to 3 or 4 tangles

and give it a whirl.

I would love to see what you do.
