My name is Ninna, I am a woman, 50 years old, single, and have a daughter 26 yrs old. I live in Sweden. I have 2 dogs, one cat and one bird.I have discovered Art again, I am so happy :) I have created drawings on and off in my life, mostly with graphite pencils and aquarelle colors. I have only a minor education in aquarelle painting at the Swedish Art School, and I have also been teaching aquarelle painting earlier at ABF School, courses for adults and children. When I was much younger I finished a Swedish course called "Lär Dig Teckna" with the Swedish artist Åke Skiöld http://seriewikin.serieframjandet.se/index.php/%C3%85ke_Ski%C3%B6ld. When I was in my thirties some of my paintings were displayed at an exhibition at Länsarbetsnämnden in Stockholm.That is what I have done in brief.I discovered Zentangle by an event, and I fell for it. I love the art form! And I also love doodling, mandalas, zendalas, zia's and a lot more. I work as an accountants assistant with lot of figures all day, and Zentangle is quite similar to mathematics. You have to think a lot about how you should do the zentangle; which patterns, pens, paper you should use, you have to count lines and divide strings etc.You can learn more about zentangle at www.zentangle.com and http://tanglepatterns.com.

Monotangle #1 - Nightsbridge

Here is my challenge for week 1. A monotangle!
I have decided that I would try and do a mono- or duotangle every week this year.
Feel free to join me if you like.
In this first challenge I have created a zentangle only with one pattern: Nightsbridge, which I love.
I have used string # 001 at http://tanglepatterns.com and the pattern you can also find there.
 

And here is my attempt.
 
I usually draw most ZIA's and Celtic Freestyle Doodles, so I think this is a good excersize for me to draw real zentangles in the format 89mmx89mm.
Below you can share your drawings with us at Mister Linky.
Have fun!
 Down below you can post all of the challenges, that Mr Linky will always be open, so you can share your drawings with us at any time :)

      I saw it on facebook.
      If you will post your contribution, I dont think you can use facebook as URL. You can save your drawings at www.flickr.com, and then use the URL from flickr and publish here in my blog. I always use flickr when I save my drawings. By the way, your drawing was very nice. Nightsbridge is a favourite-pattern.
