Rediscovering patterns

After a long time of doing other things, I finally have time to rediscover all those pretty zentangle patterns. Glad to be back! :-)

Stacked tangles

I felt like stacking tangles, so here’s my pile ;-)

You see Chard, Baton, Shattuck, Hollibaugh and Cockels ‘n Mussels. 

Diva's challenge #271

Beads of Courage is an arts in medicine program in Canada that helps kids with chronic or life threatening illnesses tell the story of their medical journey.

I really support this initiative!

So, I was pleased to see Laura's challenge: BEad INSPIRED by Beads of Courage. Although I also love colours, and support the Colour Run too (read more about this at Laura's blog), I decided to keep my challenge tile in black and white. Somehow, that's my favorite zentangle modus ;-)

Thank you for visiting my blog! You're comments always brighten up my day :-)

Joey's challenge #115

We've arrived at the last Roman Numeral String, number XV. Joey likes us to fill it with Seedings, Black Eyed Peas, Chard, Corn Rowes and/ or Garlic Gloves. I decided to use them all.

What will next week bring us at Joey's blog? I'm very curious! :-)

Diva Challenge #225: Color

This week, the first guest post appeared on The Diva's page, while Laura is having a well deserved holiday break. Jen Crutzfield challenges us to make a tile using colour and as she suggested, I limited myself to use only two colours. 

Like Jen, I'm more of a 'black-and-white' type of person, but this doesn't mean I won't take the challenge. 

To make things even worse :-) I chose to use two colours that easily hurt your eyes when being put together: pink and red. 

For the shading I used pink and red colour pencils. 

So, you're looking at string #104 and the patterns 2-N-5, Chard, Bales and Zin. 

It's not my favorite tile, but I like the brightness of the result :-)

Stacked and Tangled #2

Today, I fancied to stack and tangle :-) to send in an entry in the Facebook-group with the same name (Stacked and Tangled). I like stacking, that's clear to me ;-)

Joey's challenge #45

This week, Joey would like us to try our hand at tangling: "place your hand on your paper, trace around it, now fill it with tangles!"

As you can guess from the drawing, I'm right handed, so I put my non-dominant hand on the paper and tangled away with Hurry, Xav, Chard, Beelight, Yew-Dee and Onamato. Fun challenge!
