October: 3-Pattern Challenge

A few weeks ago I attended a Zentangle class. We all did a very basic beginner's zentangle along with the instructor. This was fun, but the magic came when we all put our tiles together in a big block afterwards. Because we'd used the same patterns, the whole came together in such a wonderful way.

I was thinking that a similar monthly challenge would work well here, and after each swap, people would have 4 tiles to mount together. I'm pretty sure that will look beautiful!

So this is it: 4 tiles, 4 partners, one tile to each partner. Use as many patterns as you want in your tangle, but be sure to include these three: BALES, BATEEK, and AHH. AHH is pictured above, and the others are listed alphabetically at TanglePatterns.com. Also, color is allowed, and please make your tile a sturdy 3 1/2" X 3 1/2" -- the usual zentangle dimensions.

Happy tangling!
