Something Different


In this week's Diva's Challenge, the guest blogger, Erin Olsen, has a fun challenge! I've always loved mandalas and zendalas but was intimidated to create ones from scratch. But Erin has provided us with a template! The template as well as other examples of this week's challenge from all over the world can be found here! 

For mine, I started with festune in all the circles and purk in the "eye" shapes. The rest were filled with auras (means to follow around or within a shape).

I hope you give zentangle a try. It's totally addictive, very relaxing, and anyone can do it!

    Nice tile! I don't usually like festune but you did a great job with it. I do love Purk! It's a favorite of mine.

    This zendal is beautiful. I like the choice of thes zentangle, the harmony of the composition where the light and dark areas are well balanced

    Your zendala is lovely! The shading is nicely done.

    Very beautiful, I keep looking at it. I like the way it darkens into the center.

    i like the way you used Purk on this, it really works well. Festune is a pattern I haven't used much but I think you've set me a challenge of your own now.

    I think this is something I could do if I set my mind to it. It somehow just makes sense to me. However, it would not come out looking like this one by you, Yukari!!

    Beautiful work. I think the auras were a very good idea. I used tangles in all the spaces and I think the result was too dense. The auras give your composition a nice lightness.

    Beautiful lines, very gently softened by great shading.

    I love how you contrasted the very fat looking Festune and Purk with the flatter looking auras in the spaces. This is really nice!

    Nicely done! I love the simplicity of festune in the circles balanced with purk.
