Diva Challenge #208

Using cubine and poke root. And a little poke leaf. This was a fun and  fast one. Thanks Diva! I used a micron  05 for almost all of this tile.

I'm really getting psyched for CZT#18 now. The practice over the past couple of months has boosted my confidence. I have learned a lot about my self, my surroundings, my limits, ... a lot of surprising insights through the process of this thing called Zentangle. It definitely deserves to have copyright status for the process. I can't wait to start sharing this with others.

Unbatz Challenge

The Diva Challenge #207, Unbatz by Sandy Hunter! This was a fun one.  I wasn't thrilled with my overall Zentangle but it was fun to play with a new tangle!  Thanks, Sandy!

Year of the Sheep!

This is the Diva Zentangle challenge for this week, the Chinese New Year symbol which is "goat" or "sheep". I tried out 2 new-to-me tangles, curl by Lu-Marie Laker and Cruffle by Sandy Hunter.

#203 Diva Challenge

In the summer of 2011, I took my first (and only) Zentangle class. At the beach shortly thereafter,  I explored beachy tangles in their natural setting.  After working Athitzi by idiloewenherz for awhile,  I was reminded of the mollusks and corals of the sea,  so the edges took that image for me.

This tangle was simple but NOT easy.  The perfectionist had a hard time letting go. The little lines are not even... much of this was my hand, eyes, etc. Some of this had to do with my notebook.

I bought an adorable Global Arts Materials hand book 3.5" X 8". The watercolor paper appears to be good quality. It feels "okay". When you take you pen to it though, it is NOT great. It's okay,  but it sorta 'catches'my pen. It's not a Moleskin.

Love

This is a Valentine Zentangle I am  sending to my granddaughter. One of the special things about doing a Zentangle specifically for someone is that you are thinking of that person while you tangle and lots of love goes into the paper. I want to help others  find that Zen when I start teaching.

202 Diva Challenge

I have to say this was fun,  but I used a new notebook and between the help of my cats and the quality of the paper - not my best effort...  but I am okay with it... that's the nature of Zentangle!

Moebius Syndrome

I am the Diva  Zentangle challenge this week is in support of Moebius Syndrome.  Go to her blog to read about it and see the sweet photos of her son who has MSAD. I decided to do the challenges this year as consistently as possible in preparation of CZT#18!
