Zendala Dare #17

You will create (1) Zendala on 6" x 7" size for (1) partner. 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.

I had to resize the template for this swap to meet a standard book size requirement. The template I created is available here.

Print this page at 100% size so that this square border is 6" x 6".

DO NOT USE THIS PRINTED TEMPLATE; instead, transfer the pattern to a 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 or on a light box and trace.

IMPORTANT - Create your Zendala on a 6" tall x 7" 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 (or after a certain number of pages).

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

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

This series of swaps is inspired by the Zendala Dare Challenge. We will be going through the Dares in order.
