Zendala

This challenge was to do a tangle using a mandala string. 

Tangled used: printemps, crescent moon, Fengle 

Stripes

Another string challenge. I wanted to use my gel pens again so here I am. 

Tangles used: flux, Cruze, trumpits, role, linq

String theory

I had to skip the 22nd challenge because I don't have anyone else in the house and I keep forgetting to get the help in school so I moved on to the next. This challenge was to use the same strong as everyone else. So because everyone was to use the same string I thought it would be appropriate to use original Zentangle tangles. 

Tangled used: 'Nzeppel, sprinkle, pendrills, ibex, xircus, locar, pokeleaf

"New" tangle

Using the new tangle the week this post was originally posted, oof. 

Tangled used: oof, glacé, pippin, isochor, w2

Royal inspiration

The challenge was to be inspired by the royal wedding (the original challenge was from 2011 when William and Catherine were married in West Minster Abbey). I framed it with one of my new favorite tangles aura-Leah cause it reminded me of all the foliage around the church. I used rose because of all the scroll work throughout the abbey. I found it interesting that there was a shamrock on william's collar and I thought it should be included in this. There were feathers on many of the hats that the ladies wore as well.  I wasn't sure what to do for the last part and then I was reading Laura's post about what all she saw as inspiration and she mentioned pokeroot on the lapel of Catherine's brother and thought that might complete the tangle nicely. 

Light in the darkness

The challenge to be inspired by the technique of light over dark. I used an initial string using Andrews initials because he has been the light in the crazy darkness I have going through lately. Talking to him at the end of my days is my bright spot till I can get back to all my friends and family. So here is my "Light in the Darkness."

Tangles used: fleuri, chakra, cootie, flux

Timely

Diva challenge 17 to do a full tangle start to finish in 15 minutes. I was not able to complete mine in 15 minutes. Mine took about 20. 

This was how far I got in 15 minutes:

Tangles used: buttercup, aura-Leah, bales, drupe

Eggstravagance

I continue tangling this evening. Using an egg as the inspiration was this challenge. 

Tangles used: zusafurn; lustrade; fleur-ish; tideberry, bellaposa

Mooka

Diva challenge 16 to use the tangle mooka. I decided to do a Monotangle.  As I was drawing the mookas I felt like I was being drawn into an aurora so I named this "Auroral Dance"

It's been a few days...

I haven't had a lot of extra time lately to tangle but I started one during inservice today. We were talking about setting goals and goes into a goal. This was the list that the teachers came up with and I just put it into a word tangle. 

Tangles used: Yewdee, Buttercup, Hurakan, Betweed, Aura-Leah, Fengle, Luv-A, Coroline, ix, Revel, Shattuck, Cat-Kin, Afterglo, Trimond.

All about the curves

After the previous challenge this felt much more relaxing. I have always been told that curves are the natural drawing structure of the brain and this kind of made me feel like it myself.  

Tangles used: paisley, paushalov, mumsy, cruffle, furr balls

Straight to the point

Diva challenge 14 to use only straight lines, no curves. As a result tanglations ensue 😊 

Tangles used: tortuca, diva dance rock & roll, poke leaf, up and across

 

Nondominatrix

The challenge for 13 to do an entire tangle with my Non-dominate hand.  It is actually much more difficult to do than I thought.  

Tangles used: keeko, Knightsbridge, drupe

Inspiration blue

Diva challenge #12 blue is the inspiration.  I'm calling it "Rainy Day."

Tangles used: aura-Leah, nebel, flux, fishnet, pop cloud, co2

Monotangle

Only use one tangle for the entire tile. That was challenge 11. So here it is. I only used bunzo in this tangle. 

A little white space

The challenge: to leave the white space. Not as easy as it sounds. 

Tangles used: brayd, pomx2, 4corners

Another before bed...

Diva challenge #9 using the diva's tangle Artoo.

Tangles used: Artoo, Flores, Indy-rella

Diva challenge 7 & 8

2/6/15

Challenge 7: "Breathe" just breathe relax and smile.  

Tangles: ibex, never, steem

2/7/15

Diva challenge 8: Hearts for Artoo. I am calling mine "love simplicity"

Tangles used: luv-a, ixorus

Long day of work

It was a day to say the least. This was how I managed to not run screaming from the school. This was diva challenge 6 to use ixorus.

Tangles used: ixorus, double d's, ansu, Ozzie, well

Orbs in the night sky

Diva challenge 5 the inspiration is orbs. The first thing that came to my mind was the moon, so that's the focal of the tangle. The rest were tangles that seemed to just flow with it. 

Tangled used: betweed, aura-Leah, bunzo, diva dance rock n roll, ibex

Wishing on a star

The forth diva challenge complete.  Starry is the inspiration. I thought about "wishing on a star." As I started the drawing something told me to draw a butterfly. I guess I was thinking of dad tonight.  

Tangles used: starfish, agua, printemps, aura-Leah, cyme, aa's, angelfish, zenplosion folds 

Challenge 3

The challenge to close my eyes and draw the base string blind.  It turned out a lot better than I thought it would 😊

Tangles used: bumps; ennies; spin rose; hollibaugh; tortuca; la bel

Second diva challenge

This challenge was to make a string with two pencils. 

Tangles used: Btl Joos, Bandola, Hurry, Sandswirl
