It's lovely getting lost in all of the inspiration that's out there isn't it? I hope you're well recovered from your eye surgery. It's so great to see you here and there in the Zentangle blogosphere 😉<br />Michele Wynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705798817897802264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136803264568572778.post-40027105826081964582017-06-26T06:30:48.860-07:002017-06-26T06:30:48.860-07:00Oh boy, this post came out when I was in the midst...Oh boy, this post came out when I was in the midst of my eye surgery, so I'm just seeing this now. I love everything you have done, especially your Bijou alphabet tile. What a great idea! And of course, your execution of that idea is just wonderful! Thank you so much for showing the steps you did on the traveling tangle ATC. I have been mystified as to how you get your beautiful results, and this helps me get an idea of your process. I also love how you explain choosing the tangles, as I am working on that dilemma right now with Eni Oken's lessons. What a beautiful finish to a really interesting start on that ATC! Thanks for being such an inspiration!<br />Antoninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11817878979363205768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136803264568572778.post-85737355420700873372017-04-17T23:44:52.665-07:002017-04-17T23:44:52.665-07:00Another stunning blogpost- I wonder how many time ...Another stunning blogpost- I wonder how many time you are spending tangling!? They are all soooo beautiful- the DIVA tiles are "explosions" of tangles ;-) <br />And thank you for your explanation how you complete a tile and the foto documentation- it is very inspiring!

(I always use strings when I teach though.) Both of your challenge pieces are super, but my favorite is the one you did while Laura was streaming. jeanchaneyazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12444143832714907759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136803264568572778.post-82781173206904481212017-04-15T09:22:08.597-07:002017-04-15T09:22:08.597-07:00Beautiful work!

I complete my Travelling Tangles in the order that I receive them so I sometimes have to chase down inspiration when I'm feeling stuck. One of my tricks is to take a picture of it and either on my phone or computer screen, rotate it several times, study the negative space and I ALWAYS find my start. There's something about the detachment that helps me see it better. I've found, more often than not, the ones that vex me the most end up bringing me the most satisfaction in the end. Other times I just have to take a deep breath, lay down that first stroke, commit to it and move on;-)Michele Wynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705798817897802264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136803264568572778.post-12580398230278845672017-04-13T09:20:31.577-07:002017-04-13T09:20:31.577-07:00I love the diva tile you did while the streaming w...I love the diva tile you did while the streaming was going on.
