Challenge 94

Challenge 94 - SOCC mono-tangle
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.

It feels so good to be back tangling and doing challenges.  Thank you Laura and Erin for this great challenge.

Challenge 73 - Bridgen

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.

Challenge 72 - Tanglelation Nation

 Tangle used Crescent Moon
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.

Zendala Dare No. 7






Having fun with the zendala dare this week.  The first picture is how it really looks, but I thought I would play with my photo editing software and try some special effects...

This is with a Vignette added ... cool, but what if(hmmm)
I made a negative of it?

I'm having way too much fun.  Oh yeah ... there's no such thing.  Thanks Erin for a great challenge once again.

Challenge 71- Pea-nuckle + Dare 6

Tangles: Pea-nuckle, Hollybaugh, Floatfest and some stripes
This 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.

Challenge 70 - Sepia

This week's Diva challenge was to add some sepia tones (or brown) to your tangling.   My photo looks a little on the purple side, but honest I did use a sepia micron for this.

If the string looks familiar that is because I'm doing some catching up on the zendala dare by Erin.  This uses the string for Dare #1.

Zendala Dare No. 5

 Tangles used: Bales, Florez, Flux and Paradox.

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 

I got a bit carried away with adding color to this one.  Thanks, Erin for your wonderful templates!
