Here is a classic black and white tile. The tangle is called Morrisseau and it was deconstructed by Cheryl Moote as a tribute to the indigenous Canadian artist by that name. Check out tanglepatterns.com for more info on the tangle and it's inspiration. #mdgrim_czt #artyear #zentangle

So this one has freehand shapes [no tape] to create the watercolor background sections. And much looser lines and tangling. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear #mixedmedia52

It's my birthday so I am posting my favorite one of the series, with 3 different purple watercolor pencils. If you know me, you know how i feel about purple! These are some of my favorite tangles too - Hentuck, Well, and Krokus. With graphite shading #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear #mixedmedia52

Washi tape and water color pencils for the color blocks. Black ink and graphite for the tangles. Variations of Mysealium, Ravel, Printemps, and Well. This is also a slightly larger tile, 4.5" square. #mdgrim_czt #artyear #zentangle

This was intended to be a black and white tile, but it called out for color, making me think of citrus. Star_ING, and Flux. With chalk pastel pencils. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear #blueskyartshow #OpenHouse

Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to switch from Calibri font back to Times New Roman. But let's be honest, this is a Comic Sans administration.

This was the CCPL tangle session tonight. I don’t always post them because sometimes I go rogue. But tonight I stayed on track and used Jetties, Betweed, and Dutch Hourglass. CCPL. #mdgrim_czt #artyear #zentangle
