Five Fun and Easy Zentangle Ribbon Patterns

One of my favorite Facebook groups is “Today’s Tangles: Keeping it Classic” by Sandy Kelley-Jones, and I was inspired by one of her recent challenges to use the simple rows for ribbons on this tile. All of these ribbons are fun and easy to use, either as a ribbon or a border. The first pattern I show is Ada by Adele Bruno. Please see the links below for her blog posts about the pattern, but I also encourage you to look at the tiles from five years of challenges. You can find so many great ideas!!
Patterns used:
Ada by Adele Bruno, CZT (see below for links to her blog)
Wrapped by Gale Sherman, CZT
123 O’Leary by Antonine Koval, CZT
Plait by Abigail Lalonde

This was great. I went back through my sketchbook and added borders wherever things didn't look quite finished. I found 123 O'Leary to be the most challenging AND the most satisfying. It definitely made my drawing look more elegant. I had to do it in pencil and then go over in ink adjusting it as I went.

[@notperfectzen]

Thank you - I'm really happy that you enjoyed it. I agree that 123 O'Leary can be a challenge, but it turns out pretty. Thanks for watching!

These were fun to do! You are such a great calming teacher. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you! P.S. Kinda disappointed you didn't sing 123 O'Leary. I would have sung with you! Smile*

[@notperfectzen]

Oh thank you so much, Nicki! I really appreciate your comments. As for the song, I honestly don't know it, but it was fun to listen to my friend sing it! :-)

[@sherryturner2959]

Barbara, Kelli B mentioned a star you did last year with boofant (sp?) as one of the tangles. I can’t seem to locate it on your videos. Could you help?
