Zendala Dare #9

Another week another dare.

 Here's a link to this week's dare from Erin at http://thebrightowl.blogspot.co.uk/

Yet again my first two attempts at this turned out to be very....I guess the word is structured. I think it must be my mathematical brain that makes it easier for me do do this type of design rather than the more free flowing ones.

I prefer the second attempt as it feels to have more depth.





I had to have a third attempt as 'snake' had not yet made an appearance this week. So I went for a new combination. Mooka coloured in as a snake. Not sure about the end result, however it was worth a try!

  1. fiona - you have three totally different looks here - not sure which i like best. on your last one i really like the center - i can't recall the pattern name - poke something - it looks really nice.and i like the outer ring in both of your first two. you used some interesting patterns and they work so well together.

  2. I like the nice contrast of tangles in your drawings. I had to smile at your Mooka snakes.

  5. These are all wonderful, and I know what you mean about "structured" , I'm finding it hard to "think outside" the lines myself. However, you have done wonderfully creative zendala's with very interesting choices of tangles. I also smiled at your snake mooka!

  6. All are really nice Zendalas. The first one reminds me of rattan paddles on a fan and warm summer days.

  8. These are all wonderful. I think I like the second one best.

    I had trouble getting beyond the structure of this one also.

  9. When someone give me "lines", I always have the need to fill it all in...must be my type A personality! LOL! Love all of these, but I think my favorite one is the second one.

  11. All three of your Zendalas are beautiful. I agree, the second one just pops. Is it the shading, or the tangle you used? Anway, love your work and all three are super!
