May 29


The week the Diva challenged us to use ONLY straight lines. As fun as it was, this is my third attempt. It is more difficult to create a tile using nothing but straight lines.  I finally created one, so here is my entry to The Diva's Weekly Challenge #219


This next tile actually started out as 2 separate tiles, but due to the way things worked out, I combined them into one tile that I can actually use for three challenges! 

It started out with the letter R for Suzy Mosh's "That's New To Me" Weekly Challenge. But I was never able to get a tile that I liked enough to post for the challenge. Then the next challenge was the letter A.  In the meantime, the focus for the Square One: Purely Zentangle was RAIN (an Original Zentangle). So, RAIN covers last week's "R" challenge, then I found ALLIUM, by JJ LaBarbera as my new to me "A" tangle, and this is what I came up with.


Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know you were here.

    I still don't get how you can do all of that without a straight edge or a ruler ... makes it that much more impressive ... just saying.

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
