June 26


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 think your tiny Bijou tile is excellent, it's not easy fitting this tangle onto a small tile!
    Thanks for sharing your challenge,

    Doll,

    What's not to love about the current tile?

    The level of detail, the amount of shading, and, frankly, the love all show through.

    Cheers!

      You are always saying the nicest things about my tiles and my jewelry... not that you might be a little prejudiced towards my work... LOL

    Nabu looks stunning on your watercolour background! Great tiles, and thanks for joining in the challenge and using one of my 'N' patterns. Good luck in the draw!

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...
