Diva challenge #317

Laura is giving us a different kind of challenge in the way we're to glue an image onto a tile and use this as a string.

At first I thought: this is not my cup of tea ;-) but as I let the idea whirl through my head, I changed my mind :-)

Luckily there was a pretty lady in a Dutch magazine (Flow) who was standing in water and who caught my tangle attention. Nipa, Feba and Gneiss created an imaginary world around her and her reflexion. 

Thank you for visiting my blog! You know how much I appreciate your comments!

Joey's challenge #159

We've arrived at the letter N for Joey's challenge and she started with a pretty Natti. I put Nipa and Nymph to it and kept it simple. Nice ;-)

Zenuari day#26: White space

Anoeska likes us to leave some white space in our tile. So... here it is ;-)

The tangles around it are Nipa and Ixorus. 

Zenuari day 2: Creative leap

We use a shoe-string today :-)

I filled it with Nipa, Onamato, Slice, Yincut and Pinwheels. 

Just playing :-)

Just playing with some tangles I like: Opus, Scraper, Nipa and Squid.

White hole

I just tangled away the time and left a white hole in the middle ;-)

The tangles I've used are Umble, Squill, W2 and Nipa. 

String #128

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

String #213

Today, I wanted to play with the new string #213, so I filled it with Yincut, Twing, Nipa and Abacus.

Joey's challenge #107

Joey likes us to fill her Roman Numeral 7 string with 4 patterns, if possible. I gave it a try and ended up with this result, thanks to Queen's Crown, Gotcha, Nipa and Zailz. 

It was only once I had finished that I noticed I've shaded Nipa upsidedown...! Oh well, these things happen :-)

String #199

There are almost 200 String patterns at tanglepatterns.com! Today I tried out string #199: I like it!

The tangles I used are Garlic Cloves, Huggins, Hurry, Jonqual, Nipa and a bit of Yoga. 

Diva's challenge #257

Amy Broady is the guest blogger at the Diva's blog and she challenges us to include a metallic feature in our tile.

I don't have metallic pens or paper, but I do have... tinfoil! I also have a hole punch :-) so here we are: I created my own silver 'pearls' and drew a Monotangle of Nipa around it. That was fun!

Thank you for visiting my blog, your comments always make me happy :-)

Zenuari day 21: Bring your own drinks

Spill your drink on a tile and use it as a string: that's today's Zenuari prompt. I chose to put some red port on my tile and doodled around it.

So... this is what red port looks like on paper :-)

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. 

String 156

Today I wanted to try and use string 156. I filled it with Nipa, Msst, Shattuck and da'Deal. Not sure if the pattern I used in the 'divider' (top left and middle to down right and middle) has a specific name as well?

F-I-N challenge

We've arrived at challenge #26 with F, I and N at Diane & Carolien's challenge. Nice! I chose Fengle, Indy-rella and Nipa:

Diva's Challenge #236

This week, Laura challenges us to tangle on something unexpected, something you wouldn't normally tangle on. She used an old map, and had the highways as a string. Nice, I would have liked to use an old map as well, but I didn't want to copy Laura's idea ;-)

So, being Dutch and being used to see cows (black and white!) In the meadows, I chose to tangle on a postcard with a cow on it, after I had cut it in the right size:

When I started tangling, I noticed the card was quite smooth, it had a very tiny plastified layer. This made tangling on it pretty hard, because the ink disappeared sometimes and I couldn't really get grip on the paper. 

But hey: that's what a challenge is all about: challenges! :-)

Golden oldies

Today, I liked to use some 'golden oldies' ;-) Footlites, Nipa, Fife, Meer and Flukes were the lucky ones :-)

U-N-I challenge

Yesterday, I was thinking I should use Inapod again. Today, I saw the challenge of Diane & Carolien and was pleased with the coincidence: they ask us to use patterns starting with U, N and I.

The choice to use Inapod was quickly made, and I decided to put Undling and Nipa on my tile as well. 

Thanks for another nice challenge, Diane and Carolien!

Dyon and friends

I saw the pattern Dyon (bottom left) in somebody else's zentangle tile and wanted to try it myself. Love it!

Around Dyon, you see Rain, Nipa and Tipple. 

Thanks for visiting my blog!

It's a String Thing #96

Adele Bruno likes us to use String 092 and four patterns starting with N: Neuron, Nuwave, Nvelope and Nipa. I used all four, Nuwave was new to me.
