Zendala Dare M - #50

Please notice that now we have two partners. Rather than hosting two separate swaps (one in group and one in public), I've decided just to host one swap with two partners.

This series of swaps is inspired by the Zendala Dare web site. We will be going through selected Dares in random order, creating pages for a mini-album.

For this series swap, download and print the template for Zendala Dare #50.

Use the TOP pattern that is on a square border on page 1; print it at 100% so that this square border is 3.5" x 3.5"

DO NOT USE THIS PRINTED TEMPLETE; instead, transfer the pattern to a piece of 3.5" x 4.5" piece of your stock of choice. It is really simple to do this by tracing the back of the printout with a softer graphite pencil. Then, place the graphite side down on your art paper, and trace the printout with a pencil. You can also put both layers up to a sunny window and trace.

IMPORTANT - here is where the BOOK comes in. Create your Zendala on a 3.5" tall x 4.5" wide piece of sturdy cardstock, Bristol board, Illustration board, or other quality, sturdy material. Leave the left-most inch of the board BLANK for your partner to bind the pages together at the end of these swaps.

You will create (2) Zendalas, one for each of (2) partners.

Color or black and white? It's up to you. Just be sure to take your time and create a work of art for your partner.

Use official Zentangle patterns (found easily at TanglePatterns.) Use any Zentangle pattern you like to create your dala. Please shade your dala.

I encourage participants to post their finished work on the dare post.

I really look forward to seeing everyone's work! Please message me with questions or suggestions!

PARTICIPATION: The minimum rating is 4.8 to participate in this swap. I will ban anyone with unexplained recent 1's or 3's, and newbies without well-filled profiles. I will not tolerate flakers and late senders; I will angel flakers if necessary. I will ban questionable swappers at my own discretion the day before assigning partners.
