July 4th thru July 10th


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 graphite pencil for shading.


This next one I was able to use for 2 separate challenges. Joey's Weekly Challenge #68 this week is for the letter "E", and the tangle we were given is Entwine by Molossus.


And guest blogger Jen Crutchfield CZT challenged us to use color for Diva's Weekly Challenge. Because I added green to this tile, I was also able to use it for this challenge.

I'm so glad you stopped by.  Won't you let me know you were here?  I really appreciate the comments.  Please stop by again soon!

    neat dugwud tile. I've been wanting to work that pattern so the circular/curved part isn't the main attraction, and you've done it!

      Thank you, HeidiSue. This was my first attempt at Dugwud and found it to be quite fun! Thanks for your visit, and for taking the time to leave a comment.

      Thanks so much, Joey. I am really enjoying your weekly challenge. Thru your alphabet challenge I will be building quite a collection of Bijou tiles.

    You've been very busy this week....that last tangle on the diva's challenge looks very difficult. The "it's a string thing" challenge is my favorite ...such beautiful shading.

    All of your work here his lovely! Kudos to you for your "Entwine" tile. I struggled with that one several time s this week and sadly gave up in frustration. Well done!

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...
