Nonlinear lines

So this all started with The Diva giving a challenge to use grid tangles without regards for lines being straight.  My first one I am not very happy with but I put it here to so that even though you may not like what you see, the practice still is worth it.  I did this one on Monday night.

Tangles: Click Clack, Ciceron, Jemz, Yew Dee, DL Sunray, and Finery.




Tonight I was really into tangling.  I ended up doing two different tangles.  I didn't like the purple one at first but I persisted and I really like how it turned out.  I was still trying to use a grid based tangle without heed for the lines being straight.  It's amazing how even though the lines are anything but straight when you look at them closely, they still work so nicely together when the whole tangle is complete.
Tangles:  Knights Bridge, Nekton, Fescu, Crescent Moon, Tipple, and Static.



The last one I did tonight is my favorite.  Again it started out not coming together as I would have liked it to but then I remembered reading that there are no mistakes in Zentangle and so I kept at it.  I really feel like it all came together and the "mistakes" that I made along the way ended up incorporating quite nicely.  I think the Poke Root tangle is my favorite part of this one and it reminded me of berries so I named this one "Berry Entanglement." 
Tangles: Poke Root, Hollibaugh, Mooka, Flukes, Shattuck.
