Diva Challenge #365

Yeah, Laura is back after a well deserved Summer break! I’m happy, because her challenges are always inspiring. Her Back to Basics challenge is just the right thing to re-start. Thank you, Laura! Also for making me reconnect with my zentangle-colleagues, who I’ve missed too the last months. Looking forward seeing their work as well!

Back to Basics means tangling good old patterns: Hollibaugh, Crescent Moon, Keeko and Printemps. 

Y-ful Power as a string

In this tile I’ve used the tangle Y-ful Power as a string and I filled it with plenty different tangles. Look at the tags of this post to see which ones ;-)

Joey's challenge 187

Unfortunately ;-) we're finished with drawing our 9 tiles-mosaic. Luckily Joey gives us new inspiration :-) We will be tangling 3D shaped strings. This first one has to contain Betweed - and whatever tangle we like.

As you can see I added Zonked, Diva Dance and Hollibaugh. It was fun!

Sundoo as a string

Sundoo: a happy tangle! I used it as a string and filled it with Tagh, Hollibaugh, Papermint, Crescent Moon and Static.

Golden oldies part 2

They're always nice and relaxing to do: tangles that we're there from the beginning. This time I drew Crescent Moon, Huggins, Beelight, Ennies and Hollibaugh.

Joey's challenge #153

Joey's Finish my tile Alphabet challenge is all about the H of Hollibaugh! I finished the tile with Hurray and Hibred:

Well as a string

I like to use tangles as a string and today I chose the pattern Well. It serves very 'well' as a string! :-)

The other tangles you see are Hollibaugh, Tipple, Fandance, Borb, Baton and one I forgot the name of (the one that covers the biggest surface). 

Joey's challenge #134

Joey has drawn a 'torn tile' and likes us to finish it any way we like. Nice, it's an effect I don't use very often. My tile is filled with Hexastar, Hollibaugh and Gottago.

Hollibaugh as a frame

Hollibaugh is a great pattern that can also be used as a frame. I filled the tile with Scallops, Quiltz, Petal Pusher, Tearce and Sand:

It's a String Thing #162

Adele Bruno was inspired by two tangles of Molly Hollibaugh when she drew this week's string. The tangles include Ing and Hollibaugh, and Bubbles by Suzanne McNeill. They filled up my tile pretty well :-)

String #128

Just tangling quietly, using some favorite patterns: Msst, Crescent Moon, 'N'Zeppel, Hollibaugh, Nipa and Cadent.

Diva's challenge #272

'Add red and have fun with this,' says Laura. Being obedient as always ;-)) I did so!

The tangles I used are ING (with red pearls in it), Ennies, Hollibaugh, Shons and Kaleido. 

Thank you for stopping by! Your comments are always read and much appreciated :-)

It's a String Thing #140

Another nice challenge by Adele Bruno! We're using string #140 and the patterns Hollibaugh, Copada and Pokeleaf.

Drupe as a string

Today, I've used Drupe as a string and I filled it with several patterns. Starting top left and going clockwise, you can see Quiltz, Zedbra, Yew-dee, Striping, Keeko, Jonqual, Hibred and Hollibaugh. Which one of these is your favorite tangle?

Diva's challenge #252

Laura is challenging us to tangle within a tangle. Nice idea! I chose N'Zeppel as my string and filled it with Hollibaugh, Hurry, Bales and Keeko.

Thanks for visiting my blog! Your comments brighten my day :-)

Zenuari day 2: Back to Basics

Since yesterday, I'm participating in the Zenuari prompts of Akseona (at Instagram). There are prompts for every day in January. After yesterday's 'Fireworks', today we go Back to Basics.

The tangles I used in string 185 are Crescent Moon, Printemps, Shattuck, Knightsbridge, Hollibaugh, Nipa and Fescu. 

Diva challenge #245

Laura likes us to go back to basics and tangle Hollibaugh, a pattern that uses the drawing behind method. It's really quite simple to draw, and I decided to honour it's simpleness :-)

Thanks for visiting my blog! You're comments are always read and much appreciated.

It's a String Thing #113

Adele Bruno wants to celebrate the National Doodle Day. So, she invites String 113, Hollibaugh, 2-n-5 and Pots-n-Pans to create a delicious meal for us :-)

I liked the string better upsidedown, so here's my plate:

It's a String Thing #111

This week's challenge by Adele Bruno is a DIY-challenge :-) She gives us the pattern Hamail (new to me) and lets us choose ourselves both the string and a pattern we love to draw to add to the tile.

I really liked this kind of challenge. I drew a simple line as a string after I had drawn Hamail and chose to add Hollibaugh and Fife. These are both patterns of Molly Hollibaugh that are amongst my favorites.

And: I had a lot of relaxing fun :-)

Joey's challenge #71

Joey's Monotangle Challenge arrived at the letter H of Hollibaugh. I recently did a Hollibaugh 'focus' for the Facebook group Square One. You can see it here.

Since this was not a Monotangle, and it was already on my blog, I wanted to make another one. My idea was to use string #044, tangle Hollibaugh over it and let the string decide which parts have a black background, and which parts a white. As you can see when you know pattern #044, I made a little 'mistake' ;-)

I don't mind: the result still looks nice and my husband (who doesn't know these strings) didn't notice :-)
