Weekly Challenge #111: "More-Mooka-Madness Monotangle-Mania" 


That's a mouthful!  It just goes along with the weekend I just came off of.  I spent my weekend in Northampton MA at Tangle U!  Hopefully the first of many.  The group was a manageable a size and I was able to connect with most of the attendees which adds to the fun and friends on facebook!  There were many wonderful courses from color to mandala strings to meditation.  All fabulous and extremely informative.

Mooka is such a fast tangle it was easy to complete two.  I found that meditatively breathing before each tile slowed me down, relaxed my hand and helped me find my strokes more smoothly.  I thank Meredith L. Yuhas, Ph.D., LPC, NCC, Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Zentangle Teacher, for the wonderful reminder to meditate and the exercises she guided us through this weekend.

  6. I think your mooka is great, and now I see what I did wrong in my mookas, I love the way you made the stems thin, and the endings bold. Thats how I like mooka.

    1. Nothing is *wrong* in Zentangle. There are so many different Mookas it is always fun to see the differences.

    1. Helen, thanks for your kind comment. I wish I was as comfortable as you are with color. It is something I will probably always be striving for.

  8. This is how I love to see Mooka, so very subtle! (I'll give it a second try....) "Mooka in red" is super gorgeous!

  9. Beautiful mookas!, and I really love the way you've used circles and egg shapes to "fill" and shade. My favorite is the red on - it's awesome!
