I'm so excited that I had time to do Erin's Zendala Dare this week. I swear her challenge is my absolute favorite one to do even though it doesn't seem like it when you look at my post history. For me, zendalas take more time to complete so I'm more likely to be able to squeeze a Diva Challenge in. I have a sketchbook I use just for zentangling and I often have many pages of half done pieces, so with the DC it's easy for me to finish off a piece I've already been working on with whatever the particular challenge is that week. With zendalas I have to start and finish one whole piece which is a bit of a challenge for me.
Our challenge was to fill the zendala with tangles that begin with either H, E, A, T or H, O, T. I decided on HOT so my tangles include: onomato, henna drum, twisted rope, ojo, and tagh. When I first saw the template I knew I would unintentionally make it very dense if I let myself so I tried to make it as light and airy as possible.
