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 #29

This is my contribution to this week's Zendala Dare by Erin at www.thebrightowl.blogspot.ca. Great template with the opportunity to do curvy, grid and linear tangles... I found that my finished tile was a bit fussy... but then, there is lots to look at! This was particularly fun to color and shade, and I wish I had thought to copy a "before" because it really made a huge difference.
