Watercolor paper class!

I took a watercolor paper class yesterday with Karen Sandoval, CZT.  Had so much fun learning how to color my world. Learned a couple new tangles too. Inapod, Opus & Meringue. And I reignited my muse. Thanks Karen!

Diva challenge #235

Diva Challenge # 235
 
The Diva challenge was to use straight lines as a string.  I'm not the biggest fan of straight lines - not sure why, they just aren't my usual go to for strings or for tangles.  Since I haven't had very much time to tangle lately,  I accepted the challenge.  Here's my results.  As my own best (or worst) critic,  I debated on whether I'd post this.  And  then I thought about it - there's no mistakes and a tile should be unplanned, unexpected pleasant surprise.  This one sure is!  And happily, for a bit, while I was consumed with this process,  the funk I've been in lifted.  Reminder to me that the Universe is unfolding exactly as it should - best to let go and let it unfold!

Diva Challenge #233

The Diva Challenge #233
Welcome back, Diva and yes, you were missed.  Thanks for scheduling such wonderful guests during your summer.  I'm so glad the time was great for you.  Love seeing the photos of your family and hope all is as well as it appears.  For this week's challenge, I had a 6 by 6 tile floating around from some weeks back, already had a string on it and it jumped out to me when I was contemplating the Zenith challenge - Pick me, Pick me. So I did and lo and behold a monotangle emerged from that tile.  Wishing you and all of yours a happy return to the school year!  As is usual, in Wisconsin, the first day of school for kids in our neighborhood was uncommonly hot.    Cheers to a happy Autumn!
