The zentangle was done with various pens. I found that some of the smaller pens seemed to quickly refuse to work. I wonder if the the wax in the crayons was the reason? This tangle is a bit "tight" when it should have shown more joy as my grandson was released from the hospital on the sixth day. A new alertness has come to the family with the diagnosis of asthma.
After a break, I did add to my zentangle moleskin. This is done with ink and colored pencils.
Well, I see that blogger has decided to place my pictures to the left. I'll have to figure out how to center them----later.

Sandra it's great news that your grandson is out of hospital and that the diagnosis means everyone knows what they are working with. And I love both these zentangles! especially the effect of the heart over the strong colours. Lovely.
Beautiful tangles, I especially love the heart. Indeed the wax in these crayons can kill most pens. You can use a dipping pen or a regular pen with a brush tip. Another thing I do is to use medium instead of water for the wetting of the crayons. Then pretty much any pen will work. Mixing the crayons with gesso gives beautiful chalky colours. Can you tell I love watersoluble crayons?
These are gorgeous! I love the designs and how everything come together to the center =)
Thanks to all your your comments. Caatje, you have given me another technique to try! I'll get on it.
