Zenuari 2019 day 1: Party

Like previous years, in January I’ll be participating in the daily challenge Zenuari 2019. You can find the prompts in the Facebook group ‘Zenuari 2019’.

The first day, our theme is Party. The patterns I’ve used are Waybop and Ahh - and I wish you all a happy and healthy 2019!

Back after 6 (!) weeks

This Summer tangling break wasn’t planned at all, it just happened. We went on a lovely holiday to France and somehow (maybe because of the heat), I never felt like picking up my tangling materials.

Once we were back home, we met our new little kitten. She’s called Zoë and she’s adorable! And of course this little girl demands a lot of attention :-)

Luckily zentangle never really left my mind, so I’m very happy to start ‘again’. Shattuck, Patience and Ahh we’re the patterns I chose to draw first. 

Square One: Tangleflake

Square One makes us focus on Tangleflake, to cool us down a bit. Ahh! (Is the name of the pattern I’ve added ;-)

Diva challenge #323

A difficult challenge by Laura this week: create a tile that reflects your home. I can think of a million ideas reflecting my country - the Netherlands. The people around me make me feel at home, but I rather tangle a typical Dutch setting: a windmill and some tulips ;-)

Thank you for visiting my blog! I always love your comments :-)

Saturday tile

I started this one with African Artist (top right), but what to put next to it? Lo's, Merryweather and Ahh flew out of my pen ;-)

Joey's challenge #129

This week's finish my tile challenge has the tangle Sprigs on it. A nice pattern, but I wasn't sure what to finish it with. I ended up using a couple of sort of 'solitaire' tangles: Ahh, Flux, Tipple and 133.

Take a look here to see what other people combined Sprigs with!

It's a String Thing #151

We're playing with Floatfest and Ahh for the challenge Adele gives us this week, and it's fun :-)

Diva's challenge #248

In this last challenge of 2015, Laura asks us to give the gift of zentangle. I'd love to give this tile to all fellow zentanglers I met through this loving community. You are Zentangle Stars who inspire me every week. Thank you!!

Joey's challenge #90

No more Alphabet Monotangle challenges by Joey... Luckily she has creative other ideas :-) so this week we're tangling a Holiday themed ZIA. Joey drew us a special string and... off I went ;-)

The tangles I used are Lealap, Twilight Zone and Ahh. 

It's a String Thing #114

14 is the theme Adele Bruno gives her challenge. We're using string #114 and three patterns that have some connection with the number 14: Ahh, Ta-Da and Teenos. You can take a look at her blog to read the whole story.

I used all three patterns, Teenos was new to me. The result of that tangle is much nicer than I would have thought :-)

K-A-T challenge

Diane and Carolien challenge us to make a tile with tangles starting with K, A and T. I fancied doing Krli-Qs again and added Ahh and Tootle. I kept the tile light and airy, with lots of white space. That's nice to do every now and then ;-)

It's a String Thing #100

First of all, I would like to congratulate Adele Bruno with this milestone she reached: 100 challenges! Thanks Adele, for all the work you do for us tanglers :-))

For this special happening, Adele created a string and a new pattern. Both are in the '100' theme, as you can see below. I just added some Ahh as well to give the tile a festive feeling :-)

Diva's challenge #218

Laura challenges us to make a 'white on black' tile. I always love the effect this kind of work gives!

I chose not to use a string, so I drew Octonet in the middle and put some fancy decorations around it. Very nice to do, thanks Laura!

Thanks to you as well, for visiting my blog and leaving such lovely messages as you have been doing. Brightens up my day! 

D and C challenge #1

Diane and Carolien have started a new weekly challenge. This week we're to use tangles starting with the letters A, B and C. I like challenges, so I'm in :-)

For A I chose Ahh, Betweed for B and Crescent Moon for C. 

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Diva's #201: Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day 2015

Friday, January 24, it's Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day. Since her youngest son Artoo has this rare syndrome (5.000 people on the planet live with it), the Diva asked us to use the Moebius Syndrome Foundation's logo as a string.
This way, she wants to raise awareness for the fact that this is a disorder affecting nerves, not a disease.

Such a great way to get more attention for this disorder - I'm glad to help this little bit I can. So, I tangled the logo and chose Ahh for the background: 

'Ahh, it's hard to live with a chronic disorder (or disease as well, by the way...)' 

and

'Ahh, life is full of nice surprises, even with a chronic disorder (or disease ;-) )'

I wish Laura and her family all the best!

P.S. I used Ahh and Copada, and another tangle I don't know the name of. Anybody? It looks like this: 

My tile: 

Square One: Ahh!

Square One (on Facebook) challenged us to tangle the Ahh-pattern. It reminds me of fireworks, which we will see soon at the beginning of 2015. So I decided to create an 'Ahh, look at these beautiful fireworks'- tile :-)
