Basic zentangle course and a challenge

Last saterday I followed a basic zentangle course together with Ingrid and Ulla at CZT Rita Nikolajeva in Brussels.  It was such a nice experience !  I only practice zentangle for a few months, and I wanted to know more about the philosophy, the real materials used to zentangle etc.  I surely can advice a course of Rita to you.   You can look at her website dotslinespatterns.com for different workshops she gives.

We learned some basic patterns like Tipple, Crescent Moon, Hollibough and Static and I decided to make a little series of them - just for practice .  One of my tiles is also for Laura, who set the Diva challenge #190 to use pink this week for her grandmother who passed a way a year ago of brest cancer.  As I know very little about colouring and have no special material for it, I just took a pencil of my chilren and coloured the bow of my 'cookie boxes' I put into my tile.  It reminds me of the cookie box I brought to the worskhop last week - it was on my birthday- but also because cookie boxes remind me to my own grandmother. Laura, may be your grandmother liked nice cookie boxes too !

And the pattern you can see in my last tile, is one of my daughter. She showed it to me yesterday and she calles it 'Sixties'. I give you also the steps for this pattern. May be this pattern already exists, but nevermind, at the moment we call it like this.
