Roy at Mindful Creations posted his third Monotangle Challenge today, this was not just my first challenge but also the first page in my new book brought especially for zentangling. I decided that I would learn a new tangle for this challenge (as I don't know many that isn't hard), I used candleglow, and enjoyed experimenting - although you can see at the bottom of the page I made a big boo-boo and ended up hiding it behind an even uglier flower, but it was too late to start again and I've only been doing it a few days, so hey-ho.
I drew out the template then spent 20 minutes worrying about where and how to start, I had an original idea but the end result ended up nothing like it as I kept changing my mind as I worked.
What I learnt: Don't be scared of templates, my copic caoi markers bleed through the page but I love C-1, my pad is fairly large (maybe 20cm by 20cm) and therefore zentagles take a lot longer than 15 minutes.
Any comments and tips welcome.
