Weekly Challenge 69 and Zendala Dare No 4

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.

Challenge 68 - Stircle & Hybrid

This week's challenge from the Diva, is to use the tangles *Stircle* and *Hybrid* in a zentangle!  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.

Zendala Dare #3

After seeing so many beautiful Zendalas on Erin's zendala Dare, I decided to jump in and join the fun.  Do drop by her blog and get in on the fun too!. http://thebrightowl.blogspot.com/

Weekly Challenge No. 67 - Amanda Day

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!

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.

Weekly Challenge 65 : UMT III

 

Using CZT J.J. LaBarber's tangle "Huggy Bear" was our challenge for this week.   It was a challenge for me, as I did not yet feel comfortable with it.  I've seen great things done with this tangle in other people's posts.  It certainly looks a lot different from it's cousin "Huggins".

To supplement my entry this week I thought I would add some zendala's that I had put on note cards lately.  Hope you enjoy them.  

Weekly Challenge: 63 Fengle

 

A little late is better than never, so I'm catching up with this "Fengle" entry.  Love this tangle, and it looks so different with all it's variations.  This is going into my group of favorite tangles for sure.  

Weekly Challenge: 64 - String Theory VIII - Fortune Teller

 

This Weeks Challenge I surprised myself - I actually got it done on Monday!!!  It was good to take some time to sit on the porch, enjoy the spring weather and relax doing a zentangle.  This has been a very busy year so far and I missed some tangle time.  I'm hoping that with this challenge my "fortune" has changed and I'll have more peaceful moments to enjoy Zentangle.   Thank you, Laura for a wonderful challenge this week.
