The Divas Challenge ths week is all about squares. A square with in a square with in a square. The string is the square.
So mine has a slight Japanese theme to it - notice I say slight. I'm missing Japan these days. Spring is slowly creeping in and the cherry blossoms are emerging. Spring has to be my favorite season in Japan, and I'm kind of wishing I was there now.
So my string is the square bamboo frame, a rope frame and a basic plain frame. For the backgrounds I used sand swirl which will represent the sea and twile to represent the tatami mats and of course the flower stamp for cherry blossoms.

Beautifully themed, great choice of tangles, and wonderfully drawn!
This is so beautiful! Delicate and bold at the same time.
Your tile is lovely and the tangle selections work so well.
You did a great job with this very romantic Zentangle, it's lovely! And believe me: I do'nt say that because of my Japanese pen pal ;-))
