Day 19

Today the Diva announced the winners of the contest that was part of the 200th challenge celebration. I was in shock when I got an email from her yesterday that I was one of the winners!!!  I am so excited.  I rarely win anything, and to win a contest with a Diva challenge... a Zentangle challenge... well I just can't believe it.  You can see more of the challenge (over 200 participants!) please visit her website at I am the Diva blog

Challenge 201, this weeks challenge is to design a tile using the Moebius Syndrome Foundation's logo as our string in honor of Moebius Syndrome awareness. This is mine:


And this is Day 19 from my tangle*a*day calendar, using the patterns Beeline, Cubine, and Rain.


Thank you to all who stop by, and to those who leave comments. The comments are very encouraging and help keep me motivated.

    Your logo sort of jumps out of the tile, that's great!

      Thank you, Ilse. I'm really trying to work on my shading. I even bought a book to help me. It just arrived yesterday.

    What a beautiful, 3D, purple background you provided for the moebius symbol. Very nice.

      Thank you, Suzanne. I'm really trying to work on my shading, to get that 3D effect! I'm having fun with it and can't wait to see what thing will look like once I start learning from the new shading book that I got yesterday

    Congratulations on winning one of the prize packages. I have been fortunate recently to win on Genevieve Crabbe's blog on the Weekly Roundup. Nice touch to put the tangles around the logo and have it as the negative space. Really does make it stand out.

    Love the white, but I am in love with your background of blue and white. Definitely looks like a pieces of fabric the way you drew it to look draped. Truly beautiful!

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...
