Weekly Challenge #266: "UMT - Crux by Henrike Bratz

Well - I am totally, utterly and absolutely incapable of following instructions, especially when it comes to drawing grid based tangle patterns that require any sort of structured discipline.  I only share this tile because I believe in the sharing and caring nature of the Zentangle community and we can each learn from other's challenges.  I kept going, that's all I can say.  When I realized I was about two million miles off pattern, I made the choice to keep going and see what would happen.  I'm certainly not in love with this tile, but I did manage to give it some character and am happy with the fact that I remembered there are no mistakes and to keep going and leave the judgement at the door.  Ultimately I enjoyed the experience, but it took some inner work to get there.

  1. Oh how I agree about this one. I got confused. I got angry. I got through. Just. I think your version actually looks pretty good as it is, so you are right to accept that it works just like that.

  5. I love it!! It's all about the process anyway. ;-) I saw some things that were different in there, but if you hadn't said anything I wouldn't have known it was a "mistake". You did good on keeping on keeping on! :-D

  9. If you think you're 2 million miles "off pattern", then you've made a new pattern. Yours looks like smaller "petals" are sprouting up behind the longer ones. It's quite lovely.
