Diva challenge #286

This week, we're only using straight lines for Laura's challenge. Next to straight line tangles, I tried to keep Footlites straight. It looks OK, but this tangle normally has curvy lines in the base, and I agree it should stay that way ;-)

The other patterns I've used are Flukes, Pinwheels, Zin and Zedbra. 

Thank you for stopping by, you're comments brighten my day :-)

That's new to me: Z

The random letter of Suzy Mosh's challenge is Z, so I chose Zuan Shi as the New to Me pattern, and added to other Z's: Zin and Zewm. Many lines on 1 tile, but I love that ;-)

PPP-time

It's 'Playing and Practising Patterns-time' :-) so I combined a lot of them in this tile: Ha-naku in the middle and around it 63Y, 4 Mom, Fife, Keeko, Zin, Telis, Ixorus and All Boxed Up.

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.

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 :-)

Diva's Challenge #219: Lines

Let me start by saying: Thank you, Laura, for challenging us every week with in such a nice and diverse way. You're doing a great job!

This week, we're challenged to only use straight lines. I quite like straight lines, so this pleased me ;-)

I partly used string 108 and filled it with Crusade, Zin and Arabel. For the last pattern, I paid extra attention to draw little squares - straight lines, no circles! - in the middle. That made me focus 100%  :-)

Thank your for visiting my blog, your comments always are much appreciated. 

Joey's challenge #61: Flower

Yeah, Joey asks us to tangle a Flower shaped string. I love flowers!

I decided to draw my own string of a flowery flower ;-) and fill it with fife patterns. In the middle, you see Ha-naku and around it Navaho, Scallops, Twile and Zin. 

Stacked and Tangled #1

This week, I joined the Facebook-group 'Zentangle: Stacked and Tangled'. They ask us, well, to stack and tangle :-) and so I did. Nice to learn I love stacking!
