Hibred, Snail, Amber, BB, Onamato, Zander and Vega.  The patterns on this tile were used to teach a class on borders.

Here is a tile with Zen Gems, Andante, Hollabaugh, sandswirls and orbs.

Here is another tile that I watercolored and then added some Zentangle patterns.  I am really liking Lily Moon's new tangle, Andante.  It is the pattern in the middle.

Zen Gem Mandela

This is a sample Mandela I made to show the different color gems that can be drawn and added to a Mandela design.  The gems can be different shapes and different colors drawn on tiles of various colors and sizes.  The Mandela is drawn in black pen ink and the gems are colored with prismacolor pencils.  The Zen Gems are all the rage right now with many of the Zentangle artists.
