Welcome back! I'm so glad to see that you've stopped by again. This first tile is for SuzyMosh's  "That's New to Me" Weekly Challenge . Our random letter this week was the letter "O" and I chose the original Zentangle tangle "Opus" with and aura.  The background for this one is called Spawn by Shoshi. There will be more this week... hopefully... so please stop by again toward the end of the week.  See you then!

This first one was done for  I Am The Diva Weekly Challenge #209 The challenge was simply to add some green to our tile, in honour of St. Patty's Day.. I chose a special new-to-me tangle for this, Boo*Kee, which was developed by the Diva herself, Laura Harms CZT.  The other tangle you've seen me use before, Neuron by Beth Snoderly.   I also used this for my submission to  SuzyMosh That's New To Me Weekly Challenge .  Our random letter this week was the letter B, and I have never used Boo*Kee before this tile. This next tile was for the Square One Focus. This week our focus was the tangle MOOKA. The background I used here is Florz. As always THANKS for stopping by, and for the wonderful comments that you leave. I truly appreciate you!

This first tile has a border of XYP (pronounced zip) which is an Zentangle-Original tangle which was introduced by Maria Thomas.  Inside the border is Unbatz, a tangle by Sandy Hunter CZT. This tile was done for  The DIVA'S Weekly Challenge #207 Taking center stage in this tile is a New-To-Me tangle called Acrosstick by CZT Ed Gucker. It is my entry to  SuzyMosh's Thats New-To-Me-weekly-challenge . This weeks random letter is "A". And one more.  This one for  The Diva's Weekly Challenge #208 Please stop by again next week to see what I come up with! Thanks for checking out my blog, and for the wonderful comments you leave.

This week has given me very little Zentangle time, but I have manage to create a couple tiles. This first one was my submission to the Square One focus this week, which was the tangle "SeZ".  Along with SeZ, I used Neuron and Knights Bridge. I like the way this one came out, so I have submitted the string to Linda to add to the collection of strings on  TanglePatterns.com This second tile is for SuzyMosh Creations  "Thats-new-to-me-weekly-challenge" This week were were given the random letter H, and for my new-to-me pattern I chose Half Onions, which makes a nice border for this tile! Inside of the Half Onions border is the pattern Diva Dance, which is for the challenge in the "Wacky Zentangle Weekly Challenge" Facebook group. Again, thanks so much for stopping by! I appreciate the visit and the kind comments that you leave.

The Diva changed things up this week, and instead of giving us a pattern to use, she gave us a challenge to use materials that we had not used. For the 200th Challenge, I was the lucky winner of official Zentangles, not just in white, but also in Renaissance and Black. And although I have played around on tan and black paper, I've never had or used real Zentangle tiles other than the original white. So this this week's  Weekly Challenge by The Diva  was the purrfect opportunity for me to use one of my new tiles, along with a Gelly Roll Gel Pen by Sakura.  I kept it pretty simple, since this was my first go at using a gel pen on a black tile. I like the results! I think you'll be seeing more black tiles from me in the future.  And I might even get up the courage one day soon to try the Renaissance color too! Thanks for stopping by, and for your wonderful comments! I hope to hear from you again soon.

This first tile is one that I did for this weeks  "Its A String Thing"  weekly challenge. We were given string #80 to use, and the patterns Kozy and Inaura. This second tile is one that I did for the Square One: Purely Zentangle focus for the week, which was Strircles.  I not only have never used this pattern, I had never heard of it.  Officially, Strircles is an enhancer, so I used it with multiple patterns that include C-Scape, Wisket, Tipple, Wud and others. This third tile was created for SuzyMosh Creations'  "Thats-new-to-me"  weekly challenge.  This week's random letter was "N", and I chose the pattern Neuron (by Bessamy Snoderly), with again a variation of C-Scape (by CZT Sue Olsen) as the border. Thanks for stopping by. And to those of you who leave comments, THANK YOU! You comment are truly appreciated and motivating.

This tile was inspired by a Joey's Weekly Challenge. The challenge this week is to draw circles, either in a pattern or random, with none overlapping, and each one filled with a different tangle. This tile is for SuzyMosh's  That's New to Me  weekly challenge. This week's random letter was "S". The New-To-Me pattern I selected was Scrumble by Jane Monk CZT.  The second pattern on here is for the group Square One:Purely Zentangle weekly focus. This week's One is Huggins, which is a Zentangle-original tangle pattern from Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas.
