This month's Zentangle Challenge touched my heart so much that I invited some of my friends from the Zentangle Club of N. E. Ohio to come over and participate. The challenge is to do a Zentangle, or Zentangle inspired art (ZIA), using Rho Densmore's new tangle (pattern), "Fiore di Pietro", which she created in memory of her brother-in-law, Peter, who very recently passed away unexpectedly. She is going to use these images in books that she will be giving to her family in honor of Peter. Jean, Sophia, and I created the Zentangle and ZIAs below with gratitude for the privilege of joining people from around the world in helping to put together this tribute. We all give our permission for Rho to use our images. Rho is a Certified Zentangle Teacher, and so are Jean, Maria, and I. Sophia is Maria's daughter.
You can go to
www.iamthediva.blogspot.com for more information about "Fiore di Pietro" and about this challenge. If you click on the individual names, you will have the opportunity to see an amazing array of entries from people who have already contributed. Entries will be taken until this Saturday night, and all are welcome to participate.

These are all wonderful. I'm totally in awe of your idea to invite your "zenetangle friends" to contribute as well; giving Rho that many more tiles to use. Your words also perfectly describe how many of us feel about this very special challenge.
ReplyDeleteLove all of the variations. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea for you all to get together to contribute to this challenge. It seems this pattern offers endless variations and they all look so different yet equally beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and I love the variations! Well done!

ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning display of beauty! It is funny how we all put our own stamp of style on our zentangling. I could tell they were all from different artist and their individual contributions are so warm and inviting! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery nice- I especially like the last one!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you were able to get together with your friends and create these wonderful contributions for Rho and her family. Thank you for sharing them with us, all are fabulous and unique.
