Stripes! I love it. Another challenge from the String Theory series, Laura's challenge this week is to use Stripes as our string. It's called Stripes 2 because this one has been done before, back in May 2011.
So I started by drawing a few diagonal stripes and realised again that it was symmetrical (the old Mathematician brain at work!), so I chose to fill it symmetrically too.
I started from the centre and worked my way out and when I got to the corners, I wasn't sure what to do. Then I remembered the wonderful post I had read earlier in the day, from Maria over at the Zentangle Blog - Get Flord! - so Florz it was...
And I thought I'd show you my old version too. I drew this earlier this year, and posted it in September, as my response to the original stripes challenge. I'm slowly working my way through the challenges. The photo's not great, and you can see my tangling has come a long way too!!!
An just in case you've missed some of my recent Zentangles, here's a quick round-up - three of which are old Diva challenges (I'm playing catch-up!):
Happy tangling...

Wow, your first tile just jumps off the paper. Your shading is amazing! Love seeing all of the examples of your beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work! All of your tile are nice, but I love the first one. The center of it really pops.
ReplyDeleteWow, the first is such a neatly done one. And isn't it fun to see improvement when you look at older works???!!! At the same time, those oldies look really good.
ReplyDeleteYour tangles are so rich with design and depth! They are really especially gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow!! just brilliant!! your stripe tile is strikingly beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThe fist one pops out! Great one!
ReplyDeleteAll the tiles you displayed are beautiful. Can't even begin to pick a favorite. And your first "stripes" from the original stripes challenge is great too!

ReplyDeleteClaire, Your work is really great. Your stripes are beautiful. I love the way you chaded the circles on the top, they really pop-up.
