It's been quite a while since I've been able to post a challenge, but now I've managed to break the inertia and get something done. I love the tangle "Socc" and love to put a little color with it.<br />
<br />
It feels so good to be back tangling and doing challenges. Thank you Laura and Erin for this great challenge. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This week we had a "use my tangle" challenge, and the tangle pattern to use was "Bridgen" by David. I chose to make it a mono-tangle and added bits of color for interest. It was a fun tangle to use, and is now added to my list of favorites. Embellishments added were inspired by Carole Ohl's examples of this tangle. </span></span>Jonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14252283206152196280noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256415459367933260.post-83403106348863438492012-05-29T06:43:00.000-07:002012-05-29T06:43:05.063-07:00Challenge 72 - Tanglelation Nation<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This week for our weekly challenge the Diva has asked us to do a monotangle entry using the infamous "Crescent Moon" tangle. We were supposed to create a "tangleation" expanding our horizons with this tile. I chose to use a pre-strung Zendala tile for my tile, and although I like the results, I'm afraid I didn't do much tangelating. It was a challenge to do a mono-tangle in a prestrung zendala.</span></span>Jonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14252283206152196280noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256415459367933260.post-86774213726030537522012-05-27T11:31:00.000-07:002012-05-27T11:35:47.574-07:00Zendala Dare No. 7<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This</span> week we were to use the new tangle "Pea-nuckle" by Molly Hollibaugh. Adding a little more challenge for myself I tried to combine the Diva's Challenge with Erin's Dare #6. What a difficult task for me. Pea-nuckle definitely has a learning curve involved and although I like it as the background, I think it would have looked better at a larger scale. It was fun having Hollibaugh and Floatfest join forces for the center of this Zendala. I hope you like it.Jonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14252283206152196280noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256415459367933260.post-37572888155578175592012-05-17T05:09:00.001-07:002012-05-17T05:10:53.503-07:00Challenge 70 - Sepia<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It's hard to believe we are already up to week 5 with the zendala dare. I'm having a lot of fun doing these, and it is so nice to have the round zendala tiles to work on. It's time to order some more from Zentangle.com <br />
<br />
I got a bit carried away with adding color to this one. Thanks, Erin for your wonderful templates!

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I'm combining two challenges this week, The Diva's weekly Challenge asked that we use the tangle "groovy" by Eden Hunt, and I'm using the string from Erin's Weekly Zendala Dare. This is done on one of the blank zendalas I received from Zentangle. Groovy is the tangle in red. I also used "Gloven" and just winged it in other areas. It was fun making it all work for both challenges. This is the first time I've tangled in color, I used a sharpie ultra fine point, but I think next time I'll use a Sakura pigma 01 in color - the sharpie is still too fat. </span></span><br />Jonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14252283206152196280noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256415459367933260.post-10028647562585063312012-05-02T10:12:00.000-07:002012-05-02T10:12:03.351-07:00Challenge 68 - Stircle & Hybrid<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I grabbed a couple glasses from the cupboard to make a round string, using the smaller glass to make the three overlapping circles. It was fun to work in the round. Thank you Laura for another Duo-tangle Challenge.</span></span><br />Jonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14252283206152196280noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256415459367933260.post-7036368655777872382012-05-01T09:23:00.000-07:002012-05-01T09:24:57.751-07:00Zendala Dare #3<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This week we are celebrating Earth Day (or Amanda Day as it is called in Mesa diva), so we are creating zentangles or ZIA that honor mother Earth. Thinking that a Zendala is a good way to feel connected with the earth and with each other I dove into my Zendala tin that came from zentangle and created this tile. Remembering the red-thread challenge as a few weeks back, I added a red thread to represent how we are all connected in this world, and what we do effects others. Thanks for a great challenge!<br />

Also of note: Michelin has come out with a Mandala of their own in the form of a revolutionary tire. I know it's a tire (guy thing), but what a wonderful Mandala it is. Who knew that engineers could have such a great sense of style too! By the way this tire will never go flat.<br />

Today I finished week 4, and I enjoyed some wonderful "zen" time as I lost myself in this mandala.

We just have to add the color purple to our zentangle or ZIA. I chose to do two challenges at the same time, combining this with my Journal week #3 in my 2012 "Tangle Journal". This is a tangleation of Puff, by Carole Ohl.</span></span><br />

She has a different tangle starter for each week of the year, and hopefully I'll be able to keep up and do each one in 2012. It is a neat way to get started tangling each week. Hopefully others that are doing this will post their results as well.</span></span><br />
