It certainly was fun and a real challenge for me because I didn't find many tangle patterns I could figure how to fit into a zendala and that also begin with the letters requested. This being a Thanksgiving challenge and pie (I think of pumpkin when you say pie) being a big part of Thanksgiving meal, we were asked to use only tangles beginning with the letters P, I and E. I settled on Ixorus, Paradox, a wee bit of Puff in the center, and Efflys in the larger center...well, one Effly to be exact. While drawing all those parallel lines I began to feel drowsy, just as I do after the Thanksgiving meal! Shading the zendala helped reduce the hypnotic effect. Parts of the template began to disappear as I worked. I am not sure of zendala rules; maybe that is ok.

Well, this will teach me to read the instructions twice! I read them once and it was a while before I did my zendala so, naturally, I forgot I had to use tangles beginning with the letters P, I and E. Paradox works but the other two, Hilly and Crescent Moon don't belong with this challenge; I need an I and an E. Back to the drawing board! I will post again tomorrow. :-)I am familiar with Zentangle, tangling and ZIA but zendalas are new to me and I am enjoying them very much!

Both are beautiful, but the one with Ixorus is my favorite. This tangle works great here.
