Weekly Challenge - Tile on a Tile

Just last week in a Beginner Zentangle class I taught with teens and adults, I was struck by the way one of the students made a very large border on her tile (quite brave, I thought).  She then proceeded to make a very striking Zentangle.  Margaret Bremner, aka Enthusiastic Artist has no end of creativity, and asked us to create a tile within a tile for this week's Diva Challenge.  I definitely want to do more of these, but here is what I was able to come up with for this go-round.  I would like to try more closely following Margaret's directions with a string throughout the tile.  Luckily the monotangle border of Hollibaugh gave me lots of options, since I didn't plan so well for dark and light!

  3. Nicely done! The fact that you left a light border around the small square makes it stand out, and looks a bit like a tile floating in a small window. :-)

  6. I originally thought the white square was the tile, then I focused on the "real" tile-in-tile. You captured this challenge! Diana Hirsch
