May 21


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 with more. In the meantime, won't you please let me know you were here?  Your comments mean a lot, and I will reply.
Thank you.  =^;^=

    Your white on black tile is really effective---very crisp with a lovely combination of well executed tangles. What type of white pen did you use?

      Thank you Suzanne. I used a while Gelly Roll by Sakura. I'm trying to get more comfortable using gel pens and black tiles.

    This is a great combo for a black tile. Those Zingers are so nice and bold and the Mooka compliments it nicely!

      Thank you Indira! I was nervous about making this. Your kind words encourage me to use white on black again in the future.

      Thank you Lynell. I've not done much white on black, so opted for simple. I appreciate the feedback that simple works!

      Thank you Annette. You are SO RIGHT! It's not easy working with gel pen or black tiles! This is only about the 3rd time I've tried. I hope you have a great weekend also. And thanks for noticing my little sig CT.

    Your Zinger looks absolutely stunning! I know how hard it is to draw with a white gel pen on black, so: great job!

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...

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...
