Description:

This is the eleventh (and next to last) 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 eleventh swap the requirements are that you use (at least) one pattern that starts with an "V" and (at least) one pattern that starts with a "W". All of the patterns you choose go on one card.

Try to create a design using only patterns that start with V and W - but if you need to use other patterns for the beauty of the design that is fine. 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 in the comment section below which size zentangle you prefer to receive from your partner.

Please include a note with your zentangle telling what patterns you picked for the letters. You might say "I used Venn for the main string" or "I used Warped Eggs to fill in the lower right corner". 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 at least one "V" pattern and at least one "W" pattern -- all on the same card (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)

If you have any questions or concerns please email me.

Thanks everyone who made this swap series such a success! Please let me know if is an interest in a make-up swap at the end (for those of you that missed letters)

I use Bristol for my ATCs - is this acceptable for a 3.5 tile as well?

I use Bristol for all of my zentangles (sorry I missed your question for a few days). Any good quality heavy weight drawing paper will be fine.
