The I Am the Diva Zentangle challenge this week was to recreate one of our tiles from the past.
I have had a tendency to fill my tile–really fill it. When I first started doing Zentangle, I also worked really small, overfilling all space with small detail. Recently, I looked at how I do this in life — filling every moment of my day, unknowingly avoiding just BEING.
In Zentangle, I’m working bigger and being more conscious of how much I fill the space.
I love both of these tiles. The tile on the left was for the Diva Challenge #104. I can see how my technique has changed a bit from 3 years ago. Neither is better than the other. Just slightly different. Practice creates change. Practice is inherent in life.
An intro class today
I taught an intro to Zentangle today to 7 women. They all picked it up naturally and their tiles were beautiful. The class was also a reunion of sorts for friends I hadn’t seen in years. It was wonderful!
Here are their incredible tiles.

I love your Diva challenge tiles. Both are very well done, but I think the thing that comes through the most in your revision tile is the relaxed way it was drawn. It just looks like you enjoyed the new one much more and your hand relaxed and gave you more confidence. Nicely done!

Thank you! Yes, I agree about feeling more relaxed and more confident! 🙂
Annemarie says
It shows so much more confidence (I think)!!!
kc says
Totally! That’s what I feel, too. Thanks Annemarie!

I love your second tile, what a change in style.
Suzanne Fluhr says
I can see why you like both tiles as do I, but as the others commented, your second tile looks less constrained—-I guess “relaxed” could be the word since “flowy” isn’t a word according to my spell checker.
