More of my blue era, lol. Blue gelly roll and blue chalk on a white tile. There is Mooka, Bronx Cheer, and a chalk Printemp, one unnamed leafy thing and one i can't remember. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Another blue tile for this week. Inspired by the Zentangle Inc project pack that came out this week. #mdgrim_czt #artyear #zentangle

This is a white tile with a blue gelly roll and blue chalk for shading. Poke Root, Purk, and Ennies. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Playing with the tangle Mooka. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

I have missed several days posting tiles. Just been busy. This classic tile has Printemps, Mooka, Tipple, Poke Root, and Striping. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Basic black and white. The string was inspired by some tiles I saw in a photo from a Sheila Grube workshop. Tangles are Printemps, Cubine, Mooka, and Shattuck. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Another lunchtime tangle. Although with the interruptions this week, it took a couple of lunches! Mooka, Flux, and Tipple. #mdgrim_czt #artyear #zentangle

Fun class with Angie Gittles of ZentAngie today. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

This has the tangle ING for the string, and a wild, loose Tripoli. There is a weighted Enmingle, Printemps, and Crescent Moon to fill the triangles. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

It's a monotangle today. Tangle is Cubine. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Quick lunchtime tangle today. With the tangle ING as the string and various fills. #mdgrim_czt #artyear #zentangle

Blue ink and chalk. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear ##blueskymonday

Here is a quirky tile inspired by the idea of neurographic art on a watercolor splashed tile. Tangles are Florz, Henna Drum2, Sand Swirl, Moonpir, Crescent Moon, Printemps and maybe some more. #mdgrim_czt #artyear #zentangle

Did this over the weekend. Used a Phi tile [3"×5"] to have a little more space for the tangle Fescurus Varae to grow. With some Diva Danc and Tipple. Purple ink and purple chalk for shading. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

It's blue on bright white again today! The main tangle is Pais-Well. I love the motion of this tangle. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Last CCPL session for a while with CZT Jill Suffel. This tile has string that was inspired by the tangle ING. The background tangle 54. Blue ink on a bright white tile and a couple of shades of blue chalk for shading. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

So really into the mixed media right now. This has a multicolor striped background of watercolors. Black ink, graphite, white chalk, white gelly roll pen. Tangles include Hollibaugh, Tipple, Knightsbridge, Meer, Crescent Moon, Printemps, and Avreal. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Haven't posted in a few days, just been busy and distracted. This is a tile that I watercolored yellows and oranges before tangling. Hamadox, Cruffle, and a tangalation of Ellish. Black ink, graphite for shading. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Got to lead a little tangling with friends' session this morning. Tangles are Stikz and Poke Root, with some weird banana leaf looking thing, 😁. Alway a good way to start the day.

A little lunchtime tangle. With BB and Arukas. #mdgrim_czt #artyear #zentangle

I started with a bright water-colored tile. Sadly, this one did not photograph particularly well - the shading looks much better in person. These tangles are Walk the Line, Curly Q, and Fescurus Verae. I also added some white chalk and white ink. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

This tile has a lot going on. Tangles are DooDah, Golvans, Hibred, Zajo, Walk the Line, Onamato and Enmingle. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Our local library class last week. I mostly followed directions this week. Tangles are Fantsee and Henna Drum 2. This was a rough tile that I had watercolored blue somewhere along the line. I used a little white chalk, sea green chalk and graphite for shading. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Same string as yesterday, and using Tipple again, but added some Diva Dance. I worked on this one over lunch a couple days this week. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Today the Tangles are a twofer! I did the black/white tile for a prompt and it was so much fun I did it again and added color. I used a much bigger pen on these tiles. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Part of the prompt that inspired this tile was to add 'drama.' That usually means more ink. The tangles are Eye-Wa and Dex. #mdgrim_czt #artyear #zentangle

This was fun. Tangles are Tipple and Meer. Typical white tile, black ink, and a little graphite for shading. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Tonight I was listening to a classic rock show and tangling along. This might sound funny, but sometimes the tile tells you when to stop. I had planned to fill this tile, but the negative space said nope. This tangle is several 'halves' of a tangle called Pepper. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle#artyear

I did the band across the middle first with the tangle Zajo and it felt a bit tropical, so I put a 'surfboard' shape behind it and used Printemps and some stripes. The ghost Printemps in the back were just with the leftover graphite on the tortillon. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear

Had to go way back in my photos to find one to post today. This tangle is called Mythograph. #mdgrim_czt #zentangle #artyear
