Day Ten, Nine and Eight

Today I was able to combine several challenges at once... SuzyMosh challenge to learn a new tangle with the letter "C", Square One to create a tile using 'Nzeppel, and the new Sting #139 from TanglePatterns.com.  I used 2 new tangles that begin with "C", Chard and Cockles 'N Mussels.


 Here is another combination tile. Day 9 in the "One Zentangle a Day" course was to make a black Zentangle tile. Well, I didn't have a black tile, but I had some black construction paper so it will have to do. I'm not happy with this, but here is my puzzle. I do like the concept, so I think I will redo it on white. I do want to save up for some black tiles though.. to see what they are like. And I need some tortillions.... I tried to make some. That did not go well at all...LOL

This was day nine that I put in my tangle a day calendar. It was also a tile for one of the weekly challenges I do... It's a String Thing.  The string we were assigned was #74, and the tangles to use for this challenge were: 

 Kiss by Katie Booth
Lealad by Lily Moon
Twizted by CZT Terri Brown


Day 8 of the 6 week course how tonal ranges, lights and shadows, can turn a flat line drawing into a dimensional shape.  Our tangles for the day were Vega and Purk. Unfortunately I ran out of time and did not get this tile shaded. I am in desperate need of some tortillions for shading. I've been using q-tips and twisted pieces of paper. They just aren't working. 


So there you have it..days 8, 9, and 10.  However, as I am typing this it is now January 11th, so I'd better get busy on day 11's tangles!!

 Thanks so much for stopping by. You keep me motivated.  Please leave a comment and let me know you were here.  Stop by again and check my progress on my tangled journey through 2015!

    Way to combine challenges! I know sometimes the amount of challenges you're in can become overwhelming. That's why I started mine to start on Sunday when most people have time to draw. Thanks for taking part in Week 2!

    Thanks SuzyMosh! I'm starting to learn that combining challenges on to one tile can be a time saver when I am trying to juggle things around.

      Thank you, Sandra. I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I've been a little overwhelmed this week. I do appreciate the comments. They definitely help keep me motivated.

    Oh! You're going thru the One Zentangle a Day course! Isn't it informative and interesting? I have been enjoying that book for a LOT longer than six weeks at this point. Each new concept, and every new pattern, I explore for several days, and sometimes take a break from it to work on other things.

    I like how you've used carp in your New To Me tile. It's got that 3D thing going, with the shading, and it combines well with the n'zeppel. And truly, your black tile with the colored puzzle on it is really cool. Fun to look at and interesting.

      Thank you HeidiSue! Your comments are very encouraging and motivating. I hope I finish the book this time around. And I just ordered a new book this weekend, one about shading. I also ordered a nice set of sketching pencils, some tortillions, erasers, etc. I'm excited! They should be here about the middle of this week.

    All these tiles are very pretty - and the C's are great choices :)

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

One of the first things I did this week, creatively speaking, was this tiny Bijou tile that I did for Joey's  Alphabet Weekly Challenge . This week was the letter "C" and the tangle that was chosen was Cornerz by Didier Gerry.  I'm not really happy with the way it turned out, so I may end up redoing it this weekend.  But I'll post it for now in case you drop by. And on Sunday I finished this one for SuzyMosh's  "That's New to Me" weekly challenge.  This week's random letter was "N" which was a duplicate, so we also had a featured artist, Neil Burley.  For my tile I chose to use Nabu by Neil Burley on a watercolour background. I did this one for a group focus on an original Zentangle called Meer. Thanks for stopping by.  Please let me know you were here.

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

Well, I didn't do a good job of keeping up this week, did I!  Let's hope that I can do a better job in the future.  Having never done a blog before, I didn't have a clue what to do. And because it is so new, it's not something that used to be part of my daily routine, so I'm still at the point where I need to find/make time to update it. I did have something very exciting happen.  I got an email today from The DIVA!  I won a surprise for participating in her 200th weekly challenge! It is rare that I win anything. In fact I'd be hard pressed to tell you what I've ever won, or when. I'm very excited!! I'll let you know what the surprise is once I know. In the meantime, here are a few of the things I've been working on this week Day 13 This was for Day 13 in my calendar, and also my entry into the Tickled to Tangle "It's a String Thing" #75.  The patterns we were given for this week were Bales, Echoism, Ennies, and Poke
