Step 4: Repeat step 3 until you have a 5-point star shape.
Step 5: Fill the arms of the starfish with lines. I used curved lines to run parallel with the original pentagon shape, but the finished example shows other options. Anything goes!

I met Sue in 2010 at the Certified Zentangle® Teacher seminar in Massachusetts. This is one of my favorite tangles, and I am so pleased that Sue has allowed me to share it with you.

Step 1: Create your pencil border on your Zentangle tile.
Step 2: Create a grid of dots on your tile. I have 6 across and 5 down.
Step 3: Draw lines across the tile, halfway between the dots, but leave a small gap between each line. These will look like the division sign in mathematics.
Step 4: Starting at the top dot, draw increasingly longer lines until you meet the middle line. The result will look like a cone. Do this to all of your dots.
Step 5: Turn your tile 180 degrees and repeat step 4.

I think this is the easiest tangle ever designed, and almost one of the most fun! Maybe it’s the Yankees fan in me, but I just love a Bronx cheer! It’s called
Bronx Cheer
because it is designed to look like a raspberry.

Tip
Bronx Cheer
is fantastic for covering up big mistakes because the berries are rough and colored in.
Step 1: Create a long, fine stem.
Step 2: Create your first berry at the base of the stem. Berries should be rough-looking. Go over your circular lines several times so only a little bit of white shows through the center of the berry.
Step 3: Create more berries until you feel the raspberry is complete.
