Basic patterns...

... are always nice to tangle! :-)

Here you see Yew-Dee as a string, W2, Static, Flukes and Flux:

Joey's challenge #170

We're tangling Y-tangles for this week's challenge by Joey. She started with Yuma, which I love, and I just added Yew-Dee. Only two patterns, but it looks like a busy zentangle 'yungle' to me :-)

Square One: Yew-Dee

Facebook's group Square One asks us to focus on Yew-Dee and so I did :-)

Diva's challenge #297

(PS don't click on my next entry at the Diva's blog: it takes you to my entry from last week. Don't know how that happened... :-( )

(PS 2 I misread the challenge... So I just went for a repeat of any previous challenge instead of one of the six Laura mentioned. Apparently, it's not my week... ;-) )

A big Thank you for Laura, who has been challenging us for 6 years! My first entry was 'only' 2,5 years ago, in July 2014, and I've always liked the way I get inspired to participate and create.

For this week's challenge, Laura asks us to revisit one of the previous challenges she gave us. I chose to redo challenge #235: draw stripes and use them as a string. I haven't done that in a while, so off I went :-)

Thank you for visiting my blog! Your comments are very much appreciated.

More Twinchie fun :-)

Another Twinchie with four tangles: Double Florz, Tour, Dentri and Yew-Dee. 

Alphabet challenge #56: V-E-Y

Diane and Carolien challenge us to use patterns starting with V, E and Y. The tangles I used are Villers #2, Eyehook and Yew-Dee.

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?

Zenuari day 20: Just grid tangles

Today, we're just using grid tangles. I decided to mix them up to create some sort of 'zentangle quilt'.

The patterns I used, are: Nvelope, Yincut, Quiltz, Ilana, Lacy, Navaho, Yew-dee and Weave. 

Diva Challenge #235

This week, Laura the Diva challenges us to draw stripes on our tile and use them as a string. I like :-)

The patterns I used are Riverstones, Twile, 100, Hibred, Marasu, Keeko, Yew-Dee, Onamato and Meer. That was fun!

Thanks for your lovely comments last week: they really brightened up my days :-)

Practising patterns

Sometimes, it's nice to just tangle away. This is what I did today in String #120 and the following patterns: Yew-Dee, Zin, DL Sunray and Fife.

Y-H-A challenge

The challenge Diane and Carolien put out this week, is to tangle with Y, H and A. I always like this kind of challenge, but... it's so very hot in The Netherlands right now.

No problem when it comes to quietly practising zentangle, you would say. However, apparently my head was a bit distracted, because when I had almost finished my tile, I realised I had been using H (Hibred) and two times Y (Yoga and Yew-dee) - and no A!!

Luckily the tile wasn't fully finished: I managed to put Arabel in the bottom left corner. Phew, just in time :-)

Up N Down

Just playing around with 3 lovely tangles!

Diva's challenge #205

This week Thursday is Chinese New Year, which means the start of the Year of the Goat. So, Laura asked us to incorporate the Chinese New Year in our tile.

I drew a goat-string and filled it with Yew-Dee, Lacy and Crux. Because of the Chinese theme, I wanted to add some red. Well, it became quite dominant ;-) but I hope it gives this Goat Year a bright and shiny feeling!

Thank you for visiting my blog, I'm allways happy reading your comments!

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!

Joey's challenge #39

Joey challenged us to tangle a word that describes what the Holiday means to us. 'Joy' was the first thing that came to my mind, so off I went :-)
