Diva Challenge #244

 Diva Challenge #244

 

The challenge this week was to use Tripoli.  I didn't intend it to be but it turned out to be a monotangle.  I love this tangle - there are so many variations that present themselves.  Thanks Diva for your time and talent.  You are an inspiration to us all.  Happy Wednesday!

 

 

 

Zendala Dare #116

Zendala Dare #116

 

Having a sinus infection that leaves us dizzy gives you much time for getting in some much needed tangling .  It must be a "two fer" day.  Did the Diva Challenge earlier, not 1 but 2 tiles.  Then still feeling generally unwilling to move around, decided to do the Zendala dare for this week.  Again, not one but two.  I have to confess I did two because I wasn't crazy about the results first time around.  I used just 3 tangles on both Zendalas - Oke and Paradox on the first, Orbz and Paradox on the second.  After spending all that zen energy, I do feel a little better.  Happy Thursday!

Diva Challenge #243

Leaving lots of white space is not an easy challenge.  My pen, so wants to fill the space.  Not one but two - think I like the 2nd one better.  For today, less may be better.  Thank you Diva for posting this challenge.  Sending you and your family many hugs!!

It's a String Thing #117

 

Many thanks to Adele for her challenges every week.  The string was fun to use and I love her zentangle, Sand. 

 

Zendala Dare #115

 Zendala Dare  #115 at the Bright Owl

 

My second attempt at a Zendala and the first time I'm posting it to the challenge at the Bright Owl.

I have to admit a Zendala seemed like a huge challenge - I looked at the template for 2 days.

My thoughts - how can I possibly fill this template and have it not look incredibly busy.  Slept on it and took a new look and had an Ah-hah moment.  Sand cried out to me for the pointy spots.

The rest flowed from there.  Fun, challenging and found an incredible Zen space of time while I was letting the tangles flow onto the paper.  This challenge called for tangles starting with the letters T-H-A-N-K-S.  I used Sand, Sand Swirl, Tipple. Tearce and Taghpolz.  Thanks for putting this challenge out there.

 

 

Diva Challenge #242

This was a fun challenging tangle.  Thinking I want to work with this one a bit more - not real satisfied with the way my gourd's ended.  But since there are no mistakes in tangling,  I thought I would offer this one up for the challenge.  My thanks to you, Diva, for posting this challenge.  I especially love  that you share your family with us.  Enjoy every moment of your life - every one of them goes by in the blink of an eye - not to return again.  Happy Thursday!
