Zentangle Challenge #266 - UMT - Crux

This is my tile for this week's Diva Challenge (www.iamthedivaczt.blogspot.ca) to use the tangle Crux. I love this tangle and use it a fair amount. It's a tangle that takes a lot of concentration. I chose to not shade Crux because though it is the focus tangle, I wanted Ruutz to jump out on top. This was done on a white tile - the camera seems to have added some yellow tinge to one side….

Zentangle Challenge #225 - Color (Guest Post - Jen Crutchfield)

Wow, I managed 4 tiles for this week's Diva Challenge presented by guest Jen Crutchfield, CZT. We were asked to introduce colour… something I'm not comfortable with, but LOVE! I started with a grey tile and used blue and sepia ink and chalk pencils. I actually drew out this tile last week for the Square One Challenge to use Meer, but didn't like the tile so set it aside. I love it with colour!) My two pinkish tiles were background dyed using watered down Tombow markers and have been sitting around for a while - this was the perfect chance to play with them. I used Tombow markers to colour and shade the two more colourful tiles. What fun I've had using colour, and also trying a few new to me tangles! Great challenge!
