TRIPOLI is the new tangle introduced by Rick & Maria at Zentangle this week. I had the feeling that this would be the challenge for the week from Laura, the one and only CZT diva, so I started playing with it a little last night. I love this tangle because it has so much potential and variety, but I will need to play with it more because I am having some trouble getting all my little triangles the same size, turned the right way, and the same distance apart. Normally, I would wait and work with this more, but I have a full week planned and I am not sure I will have the time to get back to this again. So, I am posting my 1st attempts, one on a tile and the other on a small piece of Stonehenge paper that I had left over from another project. I applied a color pencil wash to it first and then tangled. I had fun experimenting with color, trying a new tangle, and really enjoyed the process of creating. So after reading the post on the Zentangle blog today, I am not waiting for time to try something "better" to post! Thanks, Rick and Maria for that great post! Thanks, Laura for another great challenge.
Love all the variations you have in your Tripoli! Good to see the possibility!
