Punzel Challenge


"Punzel" is a new Zentangle pattern introduced in the latest newsletter (subscribe here) from Rick and Maria, AND its the Diva's choice  for this week's challenge.  This was my first attempt  and  I was not going to use the tile for the challenge because I was not too pleased with it.  Then my son told me he liked it and it looked like it was floating so I decided to add  color using a simple splash background technique from Marie Browning's book Time to Tangle with Color.  


For the next two I tried out Punzel on black tiles with a metallic gelly roll.  I still need practice on this tangle, but as I was going along, I found myself relaxing into a wonderful Zentangle meditation and that is such a benefit in today's stressful world! I am so grateful to have this art form and process.

  1. Looks great. I found it to be a difficult tangle to grasp. I kept wanting to make a chain and it took quite a few tries before I finally did something that I thought was close to Punzel. I love how yours looks on the black.

  4. While I admire the delicate color of the first one, I LOVE the drama of your Punzel designs on the black tile! I am especially smitten with your tile that includes Echoism, and love the Punzel with a Pearl variation!
