The Diva's Weekly Zentangle Challenge #299

This week's tile for the Diva's challenge took me quite a while which partly explains the late posting. The challenge for this week is to use the new official tangle, Drawings.
I have tried drawing Drawings a few times. It's certainly one that takes a bit of practice. It's also a lot of fun. After a couple of starts and stops, I kept going with this tile.

The Diva's Weekly Zentangle Challenge #298

I'm glad to be back for another of the Diva's weekly challenges. This week is a UMT (Use my tangle) challenge where a tangle submitted is chosen by Laura as the feature tangle for the week. The chosen one for the first challenge of 2017 is Orbs-la-Dee by Anneke van Dam. What fun to discover this one! I'll be using it more I'm sure.

And a note to myself - make sure to make time for these challenges during the year! Remember you enjoy the creativity and focus and find it a great way to relax.

The Diva's Weekly Zentangle challenge #295

I'm posting last week's and this week's responses to the Diva's challenge. I was quite late doing last week's so decided to combine with this weeks. I didn't follow this week's instructions exactly. I designed a fragment and then randomly put it in each square so it wasn't exactly alternated. It was a lot of fun and a technique I'll be sure to use again.

Last night I enjoyed doing some tangling while half watching Zootopia on the television . Here's my Keeko:

Keeko was the pattern for this week's challenge from The Diva. You can see other people's responses to the challenge at www.iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com.

The Diva's Weekly Zentangle Challenge #287

Wow, it doesn't feel like 3 weeks since I last participated in the Diva's challenge. But here I am, better late than never. Just in time for the next one!

I just had a quick look at the challenge again while preparing for this post and was surprised to see how similar my tile was to the one posted by Laura. Before I did the tile I had a quick look and then went to Daniel's step outs. The similarity was quite unintentional! I'm pleased with how my tile turned out.

Shadow Shot Sunday - September 18th, 2016

I notice these shadows almost every Sunday at the moment. Glad I managed to get a photo and post on here.
The basil and chilli I planted a few weeks ago are growing well and look great in my kitchen window.

This is a Shadow Shot Sunday post. See more great shadows here.

The Diva's Weekly Zentangle Challenge #284

Back again for the Diva's weekly challenge. I was pleased when I saw this week's challenge was a monotangle, Tripoli. I really like Tripoli!

With life being particularly busy of late it was nice to sit down and tangle for a while.

The Diva's Weekly Zentangle Challenge #282

It's been ages since I've participated in the Diva's challenge. I took a peak during the week at this week's challenge and it looked like a lot of fun. The challenge was to spill something (beetroot juice, coffee, tea etc..) and then tangle.

I chose some green food colouring and impatiently waited for it to dry.

Tangle with D-C-A

Back again after an unintended break. I've been busy, making choices to do things other than tangling. Glad to do this one yesterday evening while watching some TV. This week's challenge from Diane and Carolien is to use tangles beginning with the letters D, C and A.
I chose D'rua by Mei Hua Teng (Damy), Capell by Anita Roby-Lavery and Aloha by Suzanne Fluhr.

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #269

Finally I had a chance to tangle this week. It's been a busy one!

It was my first meeting with the new official tangle, Ellish and it went well.
