Aquafleur porthole


Aquafleur is the newest official zentangle tangle pattern from Rick and Maria. I've always thought it look like something growing in the sea so I tried using other 'sea-like' tangles with it. 

I'm living in the cooold Midwest while my brother is enjoying the weather in the Florida Keys. I wish I could throw a virtual snowball at him. Instead I tried to visualize what he might see on a dive with this zendala tile.

I did this on a zendala tile hand colored with watercolor paints. A dark blue Micron pen was used for the tangles and two shades of blue colored pencils added the shading..

    Beautiful zendala. You were very successful in capturing an aquatic characteristic. Your shading makes it look like it could a water filled globe.

    Beautiful!!! I can feel the tropical breezes when I look at this (which is needed after the extreme cold).

    Oh that's beautiful Sue. I love all the sea-like tangles as well. What's the twisty one going up the stem in the background right? I don't think I've seen it before. I love your colouring too. I'm just beginning with colour. Now I know where to look for inspiration!

    Beautiful, Sue. The colors are fabulous. And the whole zendala just screams underwater.
