Description:

This is the second in a series of alphabet zentangles - with a twist. You will be picking zentangle patterns that start with specific alphabet letters.

For example, in this second swap the requirements are that you use (at least) one pattern that starts with an "C" and (at least) one pattern that starts with a "D". The rest of the patterns used in your zentangle are up to you. I don't want to limit creativity -- I want to present a format that might encourage you to try new patterns.There are numerous zentangle websites and most list patterns alphabetically. Zentangle basics are described in detail at Zentangle.com and a nice alphabetical list of patterns is found at TanglePatterns.com

Your zentangle can be black and white or colored. The size can be a standard ATC (2.5" x 3.5") OR a standard zentangle square (3.5" x 3.5") When you sign up for the swap please state which size zentangle you prefer to receive from your partner.

I will be doing this swap monthly, if there is enough interest, and we will be basically doing two letters a month (with a couple groups of three letters if there are few patterns starting with those letter).

Please include a note with your zentangle telling what patterns you picked for the letters. You might say "I used Crowns around the edge" or "I filled in the background with DotnDash". If it isn't easy to describe please do a simple sketch of the pattern in your note. Don't just list the patterns used -- be sure to ID them either descriptively or with a quick sketch. I'm hoping we all learn a new pattern or two in this swap.

Requirements:

1 Zentangle for 1 partner

ATC sized OR 3.5 x 3.5" square

Must include one "C" pattern and one "D" pattern (and a note identifying the required patterns used)

Please use appropriately sturdy paper.

Rating of 4.9+, no 1s or 3s in the last six months (and then with explanation)

Flaking will not be tolerated.

If you have any questions or concerns please email me.

Will we be matched with someone requesting the same size format? Thanks.

dobie256 01/26/2011 #

No, you will be matched randomly. What I did on the first swap was make an ATC using my chosen designs (a "practice zentangle" for me to keep). Once the partner was assigned, I figured I would do a similar design on their preferred size. In the first swap my partner wants a 3.5 x 3.5" square.

Thanks for the clarification. It is also a great suggestion.

dobie256 01/27/2011 #

Well that way you can start right now -- since the design is sender's choice. And I always figure the more practice I get the better I will do. Once your partner is assigned you can either send them the original ATC or easily work up their 3.5 x 3.5 card.
