Yesterday I was busy giving an introductory class, so am a bit late getting my day 9 tile complete. It was actually really lovely to go back to my foundation tangles in the introductory lesson, and wonderful to share the morning with some very inspiring people!

After a late night, and early morning – I squeezed in a bit of tangle time, and I guess I was feeling like I need some solid organization in my day because this is the string that came out of my pencil:

My little golden tipples were not intimidated however, and managed to leak all over the place! Added to the tangle line up today is Auraknot.  I am very glad that the oozing tipple left me two places to revisit Auraknot, because I got very confused on the first one, though after shading and reflection I am calling it a charming variation.

The other tangles in this tile are tripoli, diva dance, shattuck, marasu, molygon, knightsbridge, and poke leaf.  I did enjoy this rendition of diva dance. You’ll notice the little moons on the line only occur right before the corner, which ended up giving it a very fun feeling. It is different every time I draw it!

If you are interested in seeing more about the 3Z’s of Christmas challenge – check out the Zentangle Blog. On each day they show the step outs for the tangles – which is great if you are just beginning or need a refresher. You can also see my day 1-8 tiles on the SoundTangle facebook page.
