Zentangle Challenge #105 - UMT - Dansk

T

This week's Zentangle Challenge #105 from Laura at www.iamthedivaczt.blogspot.ca, is to use the tangle Dansk. I've never used this tangle before so am glad for the challenge to try it. I like this tangle a lot and am very fond of teardrop shapes. So... I decided to add in some other tangles that had or could be adapted to include teardrops, and auras. The Dansk evolved into a sort of rocky waterfall under the rain, which called for a river, and "rainbow" of Paizel, and then needed pop-clouds in the sky. I almost didn't do the challenge this week because I have a craft show this upcoming Sunday and am madly sewing my owls. However, I found myself getting stressed and decided that I needed some "Zen" to get me over the hump. I'm glad I did because this was fun! Thanks again Laura for a wonderful challenge, and to anyone who views, and/or comments. (In Toronto we're hunkering down for a major snowstorm, predicted to be the worst we've had in a few years. Last winter we didn't have much snow at all, so I'm sort of looking forward to it.)

Zendala Dare #30 - PIE

This week's Zendala Dare from Erin at www.thebrightowl.blogspot.ca reminded her of Thanksgiving, and therefore PIE! So, the challenge is to use tangles starting with the letters P, I, E, and at least one tangle "new to you". I chose two "new to me" tangles, Pais and Escalator, and one of my favorites, Inapod.
