Week 34 of #zencolouringcontest starts now! Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place. To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like). ![ZCCfeaturedcolour.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPhFTMReqexVU8eAYoUjzdF7PqR9v9v6G6ULudpbJ9Gfs/ZCCfeaturedcolour.png) The featured colour this week is Purple Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection: _{(with example shades of the colour)} ![W34 Colour choice.PNG](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/magiccleatus/eMz8sMga-W3420Colour20choice.PNG) ![ZCCschedule.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZmqUuko3rCBFES7xk7DzuQGjUp5HLJoqVga1CM7AFXTB/ZCCschedule.png) The contest will run week to week, to provide enough time for entrants to colour in the pattern.

The triangle is a powerful symbol and ties in really well with the tee-shirt I was wearing in my #introduceyourself post! I wanted to make this design a bit simpler than my previous ones to give you people a break from intricacies and more room to play with! Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh! ![ZCcommunityhub.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdutxmTkQN1rKNquWVfUSLQXk1W2bksFrZGnKcta5VG7f/ZCcommunityhub.png)
