Zentangle Challenge #228 - Guest Blogger, Cari Sultanik: Organic Tile

This week's Zentangle Challenge is by guest blogger Cari Sultanik, and it is to do a tile using organic or natural tangles. This is what I came up with. Summer is always busy, but it's been super busy and spectacular this year! I got back from CanTangle in Regina just over a week ago, and am still buzzing from adrenalin because of meeting wonderful CZT's, the amazing workshops, and learning so much! So HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!

Zentangle Challenge #103 - Moebius String

The Diva Zentangle Challenge this week is to use the Moebius string. I had an idea to make it into a pathway - good idea, right? Hummm, but things got out of hand and two days (and nights) later I was adding more, and more.... It's fussy, but I got to try some tangles I hadn't used before, and the concept of a journey, meditative gardens, and Zentangle just seemed to flow. Don't love it, but it's the thought that counts. My thoughts go out to Laura and Artoo and family, and everyone else else dealing with Moebius Syndrome.

Zentangle Weekly Challenge #63 - Fengle

This week's I am the Diva Zentangle is to use the new tangle Fengle. I first saw this tangle about a week ago and fell in love with it. Thank you for adding it to the official zentangles and giving such great instructions and so many examples of how it can be used! In fact, after seeing all the variations that Rick and Maria had done, I wondered if we could come up with any new ideas! My first attempt was originally going to be overlapping Fengles, with variations.... but it just grew into a seascape, then called for color! It's not what I had in mind, but I enjoy playing with watercolor pencils which I've only used a couple of times.

My second try was much more to my liking. Simple, bold, and hopefully a bit different. I do love white spaces....

Zentangle Weekly Challenge #57 - "Sanibelle"

This week's Zentangle Challenge is to use the tangle "Sanibelle". I've been on a short trip to Vancouver for the past 5 days, and worked on this tangle while visiting with family. Sanibelle is a beautiful tangle, somehow it always seems to me to be an underwater plant. I chose not to look at any one else's pieces until I posted this as I didn't want to be influenced by others perceptions and interpretations. Now I can't wait to see what others have done!
