Diva's Weekly Challenge #246: "Monotangle Trees"

This week's challenge is a Guest post on Laura's blog by CZT® Dilip Patel.

He is from Bangalore,India and I am so privileged to be one of his students.

He wanted us to choose any tangle pattern of our liking and create a tree using only the chosen tangle over strings representing a tree.

Here are my tiles.

First tile with CZT® Sandy Bartholomew's pattern Mumsy

Second attempt with Zentangle®-original tangle: Pokeleaf

Let's keep tangling!

Diva's Weekly Challenge #245 - "Back to Basics - Hollibaugh"

This week, Laura wanted us to use the Zentangle®original tangle pattern Hollibaugh.

I have been wanting to try out this new tutorial on creating Jems-kind of look using watercolors.This tutorial was shared on the Zentangle® group by Kae Yoshino.

It did not come out as shown in tutorial as I used watercolor paints instead of color pencils as required by the tutorial. But I am happy that I tried something new!
Here's my tile.

"It's A String Thing!" # 119

In this week's "It's a String Thing" #119, Adele wanted to mark the 100th anniversary of the iconic bottle design of the Coca-Cola Company.

She selected TanglePatterns String 011 (by Yamit Fridman) whose lines suggest a bottle shape.
Patterns  are
100 by CZT® Adele Bruno
Bublz by Lori Byerly
Ripples by Helen Williams

I decided to use 100 along my string line. 100 was easy to draw. That is a stepout that is so simple to remember and so many variations.
I had a tough time deciding whether I wanted to put Bublz inside the bottle shape or Ripples to look like the glass. Then I decided that since Adele selected Ripples because it reminded her of the feel of the bottle, Ripples it would be.. I could not stop with the Ripples so left with very less space for Bublz..

Here's my tile.

Diva's Weekly Challenge #244 - "Tripoli Triptastic"

This week, Laura wanted us to use the Zentangle®original tangle pattern TRIPOLI.
Frankly, I have not used this tangle much. But the step-out page suggests that a lot of different variations are possible. Both variations in my tile come from there.

Here's my tile.

"It's A String Thing!" #118

In this week's "It's a String Thing" #118, Adele wanted us mark the oddity in the calendar year (pun intended).
Friday was 11/13/15.It was also ODD DAY, the sixth and final time this century that the date is a continuous sequence of odd numbers.

We had to use Joyce Burns' String 017 (odd number again!!)
along with the 11th, 13th, and 15th tangles listed on TanglePatterns.com:

Acrosstick  by Ed Gucker, CZT
Afterglo  by Carole Ohl, CZT
Ahh by Maria Thomas, Zentangle® co-founder

Here's my tile. If you count the no.of times I used each pattern, you will find I used odd numbers. I used 9 squares in Acrosstick, 5 of Afterglo and 15 of Ahh.
How's that for celebrating Odd numbers!!

Let's keep tangling!

Diva's Weekly Challenge#243 : "Just a tiny taste"

Diva says "The challenge is to INTENTIONALLY LEAVE THE MAJORITY OF YOUR TILE EMPTY.... giving the tile just a tiny taste of tangle.
For this challenge, I'd say try to leave over have of the tile blank... like 60-70%"

I have used Diva Dance and here is my tile.
