Joey's challenge # 29

Joey's challenge suggested us to use String 010 and our favorite "O"-Tanglepatterns. I chose

- O by Damy
- Opus with an aura by Zentangle

and some simple stripes. "O" was really challenging for me, I couldn't tangle it symmetrically. I have to practice it I guess :-)

Tangle on!

Diva-challenge # 188: National Coming Out Day

This week the Diva has a special challenge for us. On October 11th the US celebrates the National Coming Out Day and in honour to a 12-years-old boy who wants to support his gay friend we are supposed to tangle something about the LGBT-theme (Lesbians, Gays, Bi-sexual and Transgender) in rainbow-colors or with LGBT as a string. I chose the string-variation and the following patterns:

- Agua by Christina Vandervlist
- Angel Fish by Marizaan van Beek
- Baton by Carola Ohl
- Ing by Molly Hollybaugh

and a rainbow-banner around the letters.

Tangle on!

Tackle it Tuesday: Septem B E R

Cheryl from Artful Creations (with the Tackle it Tuesday-challenge) wrote in her actual challenge:

"...you know there are no mistakes in zentangle. It is supposed to be and R."

This is exactly what I have to learn about tangling. I tried some new elements for the corners and I didn't like it. I wanted to erase it (even though I know I couldn't because I used a permanent pen ;-) ), but then I decided to try something different and I painted the background whole black. I never did this before and I think, I like it better than the abortive thingys before :-)

I used the patterns:
- Brayd by Michele Beauch
- Exis by Jennifer Hohensteiner
- Roscoe by Vicki Bassett

Tangle on!

String Thing # 60

Here's my tile for the "String Thing" #60 with String 061 and the following patterns:

Xav - my own tangle. (located on the pink tabs at the top of this page)
X by Lila Popcheff
Xplode by Margaret McKerihan
Xeni by Jacqueline Janssen

All patterns are new to me and I fell in love with Xplode ♥

Have nice time an tangle on!

Diva-Challenge # 187:Blind String / Square One: Pendrills

Because I had not so much time I cimbined two challenges in one tile. I made a blind string (with a eyes closed) for the Diva-challenge #187:

 And I added the wekly pattern for the "String One"-group on Facebook: Pendrills.

These are the patterns I used:
- Pendrills by Zentangle
- Sand Swirl by Karry Heun
- Striping by Zentangle with sparkle
- Bilt by Lisa Skeen
- Paradox by Zentangle
- Cockles 'n Mussels by Margaret Bremner
- Hurray! by Agneta Landegren
- Mac Dee by Anneke van Dam

I don't like the black pearls with Pendrills, but I love to tangle with Sand Swirl and Mac Dee ♥

Have agreat weekend!

Joey's challenge # 28: Knyt

Here's my tile for Joey's challenge #28. I used the patterns "Knyt" by Helen Williams and "Featherfall" by Carola Ohl. I never used these patterns and I'm noct very satsfied with both. I added some color to make Knyt brighter. Perhaps I have to get a bit more free in using them, I followed the instructions very straight. The next time I use them I will try some new directions :-)

Have a nice weekend!
