Day 12


Today many of us are celebrating the Bi-Zen-tennial, the 200th Weekly Challenge by the DIVA. You can see here website at The Diva.
Here is our challenge:
This week's challenge is to use your Mac'N'Cheese tangle in a Monotangle. Or in other words, create a tile using ONLY your go-to or favourite tangle.

 And let's take advantage of the WHOLE tile! No borders! Let's extend from end to end and fill our tiles BURSTING with Tangly JOY!

 And finally - put the number 200 (big or small) somewhere on your tile.

 I chose 'Nzeppel..not because it's my go-to tangle, but it's a wonderful new tangle that I learned last week, and it just might end up being one of my go-to tangles in the future!


Thanks for stopping by! Check back tomorrow for more.

      Thank you, Anne. This weekend I ordered a book and a set of sketching pencils to help me with my shading. I see some amazing work displayed in groups and on blogs. I strive to keep improving, one stroke at a time. :)

    I love NZeppel. I like to vary the sizes of the grid and to fill it in with bright vivid colors.

      Thank you, Suzy! I'm having fun with the challenges. It's just taking time to work everything in to my schedule. I have some beautiful colors in gel pens, pencils, markers. I just haven't had much time to play with colors. In time....

    Hi. I stopped by to look at your 200th tangle, and then found myself browsing around.
    Your tile has a unique look to it. Strong visual impact. And the 200 is nicely inserted :)

    I also saw your yearly challenge of "one tangle a day" every day, and I would like to send my "bon voyage" wishes to you in this worthy challenge. It seems that you are advancing your technique by the day ...

    Good luck !

      Thank you, Omer. I am trying to learn and grow. And hopefully this time I will actually finish the "One Zentangle a Day" course. I bought it last summer when I first discovered Zentangle. This weekend I ordered another book, about shading, and a nice set of sketching pencils. I'm hoping they will help me continue to grow. Again, thank you. I can't tell you how encouraging and motivating comments are.

    Nice work on 'Nzeppel. You did a great job of shading this to create some depth and perspective.

      Thank you! I just ordered a book this weekend to help me develop my shading skills. I'm so excited! It should be here about the middle of this week.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! I hope your 4th of July was SAFE and filled with FUN. First up is my submission for Joey's Weekly Challenge  alphabet challenge. For the letter "D", Joey presented us with Dugwud by Anita Roby-Lavery. This next one is what I submitted for  Adele Bruno's "It's a String Thing" Challenge . This week was to use String #99 with patterns Tearce by Pan Pincha-Wagener, Tracery by Dianne Krumnow, CZT, and Tripoli by Maria Thomas. And then there was the Square One Focus on Munchin This next tile is for   SuzyMosh "That's New To Me" Weekly Challenge.  The random letter this week was "H", for which I chose Ha-Nuka from Yamit Fridman. "H" was a duplicate so we were also challenged to use a pattern by the featured artist Michelle Beauchamp, CZT. I chose her pattern Bradz. I did this on a tan Renaissance tile using Sakura Pigma Micron pens, Sakura White GellyRoll pen, and graphit...

I'm finally back! Hopefully it won't be another month or so before I come here to update.  There's been a lot going on, including a wonderful vacation in Arizona! Maybe more about that later. In the meantime, here's a new tile I just finished. It's for  Diva's Weekly Challenge #218 , where we were challenged to use a white gel pen (I used Gelly Roll by Sakura) on black tile (I used an official Zentangle tile).  The tangles I used for this are Mooka and Zinger. I thought maybe that was a little too simple, so I've changed it a bit. Which one do you prefer, the original or this one? And here is black on white! Black Pigma Micron on white 3.5 x 3.5 Zentangle tile. Lightly shaded with regular graphite #2 pencil. And here again I used Mooka and Zinger. Also, some of you know that I also make jewelry. I have entered a contest to win a book about making Vintage style Jewelry . Wish me luck! I'll be back in a couple days w...

As we get ready to say goodbye to August and hello to September, I am still struggling with finding enough time for all the different things I enjoy doing. There just are not enough hours in the day, and the fact that I am working 6 days a week right now doesn't help.  But I believe that in time I will be back on track and spending time with more of the things I enjoy: zentangles, watercolour, making jewelry, crotchet, reading.... That being said, I begin this post with another entry in  Joey's Weekly Challenge. This past week was the letter "L", and Joey had us play with the tangle LinQ by Lara Williams, CZT. I've never done this tangle before and I really enjoyed it! I think I'll be using this one more in the future... such fun, with lots of possibilities for variations! This next one is for letter "M", a pattern called Maryhill, by Betsy Wilson, CZT. Off to see if I can squeeze out more creative projects before I head ba...
