Day Five

Today we learned about "Sparkle", which is a deliberate space that you leave in a stroke, which is a highlight, another way of enhancing your tangles.

The daily tangles today were Isochor and Printemps. We were reminded that we could also use any previously learned patterns when we created our tile. I chose to include Knights Bridge, Nipa and Shattuck.


Thank you for visiting. And a very special thank you to those of you who have been leaving comments. They mean a lot, and help keep me motivated.

Have a good evening. See you tomorrow.

Keto Challenge Catch-up Days

I REALLY need to work harder to get here to update every day, or at least every other day.  It's harder with each passing day to get caught up. Let me start by telling you about Friday, June 2.  My husband met me when I got off work, as did my oldest children's grandmother, my "mom".  We then headed to my youngest grandson's high school graduation.  The only thing I can tell you about Friday is the day at work was hectic and the evening was full of excitement and, of course, tears. I can't remember exactly what I had to eat that day, but I can tell you my husband and I tried to stick with foods that are allowed on my Keto challenge. Saturday lunch I made a Keto pizza.  OH MY!!! It was so surprisingly good! I was blown away.  Seriously, I felt like I was cheating even though this recipe was right of the challenge itself!  I think that is what has surprised me the most. The food is so good that you feel like you are being "naughty"

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.

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

Day Four

The first thing that I completed today was a tile for the new "It''s New to Me" challenge by SuzyMosh Creations . Today's change was to do a TIA with a "new to you" tangle starting with the letter "T".  So I went to Linda's TanglePatterns.com and when I went on the "T" page there was only 1 or 2 that I was at all familiar with. I chose 2 for my tile. The border is done with Trimond by Beth Snoderly, and in the center is Tootle by Jennifer Hohensteiner. The second thing I completed was making a new cabinet for the jewelry I make, but that's a story for a different blog.. LOL.  The next thing that I completed in the way of Zentangle goes what Day Four of the six week course. In keeping with the previous day, I used string #004 and the three daily tangles were Shattuck, Nipa, and Jonqual. Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment.
