Christmas thoughts in Gneiss

My tile for the Square One zentangle group of the past week: focus on Gneiss.  I have put Chainging next to it and some baubles.  Yes, christmas is already in my mind.

And in the same line, I made a christmas card for my collegue who gives me each year a card with some nice wishes for me and my family and some little presents for the children with christmas.  So especially for him this Gneiss christmas card.

Because I like series of tree, I made another Gneiss card today, with  Holly christmas flowers and Indy-Rella next to it.

Chainging in Square One

I am a member now of the Square One Purely Zentangle group on Facebook.  I realy like the intention of that group.  Only 'basic' zentangles are to be posted. Meaning: 3,5"x3,5" white tile, only black pen and pencil for shadow (and strings of course).  So back to basics.  It's a good way to focus on the patterns  itself and to see what you really can do on a tile of the original format.  People are making the most beautiful zentangles !  And it's a real inspiration source to me.

Here are my tiles with the patterns Chainging and Punzel, the focus for this week.
My best tile is here: Punzel, Flux and Tipple.  In Spring, I made a sketch of a huge plant near the swimming pool of De Nekker, but I did not yet know any patterns to make of nice zentangle of it.  And now, after learning Punzel and Flux I could transform my sketch in a nice tile !

And here are my earlier tiles of this week, where I still had to learn the pattern.
Tile with Chainging and Betweed (and surely a better one than I posted last week for the Diva Challenge of Betweed)

And ... thank you all for all comments I already received on my blog posts.  It's always nice to read and it keeps me going !
