I combined the Diva Challenge with my 3Z class this morning. We had so much fun! Wish you all could have been there!
First my Frunky challenge. I had extra time this morning before class, so I thought I would tangle. That may not have been the best choice. I got so caught up in it that I completely lost track of time. And almost had to teach in my pajamas.
Before shading
After shading
I enjoyed this tangle so much that I decided to teach it for the second tile. But, first things first.
Didn’t they do a great job?
So here is the second tile, where we got frunky.
And, we had so much fun that we did a third. Here is our giant mosaic (with a few of my samples thrown in.)
Have you tried 3Zs yet? They may be my favorite tile, even more than Renaissance! What do you think?
I was looking over your most recent challenge post with Frunky and I liked how you can see a lot of depth in it. I like that. Nice work.

I think your students did an excellent job and they clearly got a lot out of it – you can’t do Zentangle by halves, can you? I can’t agree with you about the triangle tiles though. I don’t particularly like them. I suspect it’s partly because I make my own – can’t bear to pay mother ship prices + postage but my geometry gets a bit confused and I get some interesting shapes! But, funnuly enough, I did use one for the Challenge this week and found it suited Frunky – or Frunky suited it – very well. I like your tiles both with and without shade but your photos really do demonstrate how essential shading can be.

Thanks. Bummer that the cost is so high for overseas. I am so spoiled by Most of the companies I deal with that will waive shipping wish a large enough order that it really bugs me to pay for shipping on anything.

Oh Cris, I can totally relate to losing myself in a tile. Teaching in your pyjamas would have been a great real life example of how tangling creates a relaxed state of mind. 😉
Love your tiles!

That would have been funny. My students would have gotten a laugh out of it, but the people at the post office and grocery store might not have seen the humor 🙂 with my luck, I would have gotten a traffic ticket. That Would be a story for the policeman!

I’ve also become very fond of Frunky. It’s not hard to master and it has lots of possibilities. I haven’t tried the 3Z’s yet. They seem to make for interesting mosaics, so I can see why they are great for classes. (P.S.: On Laura’s Frunky post, you put the link for your Noom post. I went back to your blog and found this, but I just thought I’d let you know.)
