November - the month of Thanks. For our veterans and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. And later in this month, thanks for all that has been given to us by our God.
This zendala was done with the tangle patterns;
Trio
Huggins
XYZ
The main tangles were done with a black Micron. I added details with a brown Micron and then added shading with a colored pencil.
To do the guidelines for my string I used my new toy. - Yes, it is a toy. It's a mini mandala maker that makes it so easy to create your own lines for a zendala. The kit comes with a pen and colored pencils, but I use a mechanical pencil to put my string on. I have a link over in the right hand column if you are interested in more about this little gizmo.
There is an in-depth post on this mandala maker that you can see here.
