Congratulations to Laura, aka "the Diva". She has given us 200 zentangle challenges to date.
For the 200th challenge she asked us to use our comfort tangle and to incorporate the number 200 into the tile.
Bales has always been my comfort tangle so I played with it here. I decided to really go with the 200 theme and managed to do this with 200 strokes of the pen. Every time I picked the pen up or changed direction, I counted it as a new stroke.
I did this in a moving car using a CD box to draw on. Some of the lines are a little wobbly but there are no mistakes in Zentangle right? Right!

I ended up feeling that this was my Bales garden. There is still room to this garden to grow - Likewise, I hope the Diva will continue to challenge us - and help us continue to grow.
a lovely bales garden - I can't imagine trying to tangle in a car! Well done.
ReplyDeleteLovely tile!
ReplyDeleteI was playing with bales yesterday! It's a fun pattern. Love it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice tile :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, great that you managed in a car, Sue. I tried to tangle in a train once, but couldn't.
ReplyDeleteI love your words of growth too.
Lovely and delicate tile!
ReplyDeleteI like it. And I like your backstory on creating this tangle too !
ReplyDeleteThis is a great go-to tangle pattern! Very lovely work and I enjoy reading your blog too.
ReplyDeleteAdorable tile!. And amazing that you used 200 strokes.
ReplyDeleteYou story behind this nifty tribute tile is so delightful. I can't imagine drawing, counting my strokes, and not getting car sick all at the same time. That takes skill. Bales is a very nice pattern and one of my favorites. Your design shows it off so well. Nice shading. Were the Flux Triplets on the right, near the top, were you were when your count hit 200? If the Diva reads this post, I can see a whole new wrinkle in future challenges. Hand click-counter sales will sky rocket.
ReplyDeleteNice way to get an additional 200 into the tile. Bales is a great pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed with your car tangling! :D
ReplyDeleteVery interesting blog. A lot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that attract others, but I'm most definitely interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
