"It's A String Thing!"#123

For "It's a String Thing" #123, Adele selected TanglePatterns String #123 by Kim English

This week's tangles include:

Daviso by CZT® Katie Crommett - I had never done 'Daviso' before. 

I used Linda Farmer's tip of using a diamond grid to draw Daviso. Very helpful I must say

Holiday Ornaments by CZT® Suzanne McNeill  - this is one of my favorites!!

I was down with Flu from Monday so I had lots of tries with this combination. My husband was so sweet to do all the cooking!! :)

Here are my tiles. 

First tile I did , the circles in the String looked perfect to be the holiday ornaments.

On the second attempt, I wanted to use Daviso in the circles.

Third attempt, I just did Holiday ornaments along the string line.

What fun it was!! Not the Flu but the tangling!!

Let's keep tangling!

Diva's Weekly Challenge #248: "Give the Gift of Zentangle"

This year's final Diva Challenge will be to give the gift of Zentangle! 

I created one for my 2 year old son's play-and-stay group's coordinator Sophia. We moved to UK in Aug 2015. The move was more difficult for my son. She has been helping him a lot to adjust in the new environment.

I was also planning on giving tangled Christmas cards to all the other mums in the group. I have been working on these over the weekend. I hope they like them.

Let's keep tangling!

"It's A String Thing!"#122

"It's a String Thing" #122, Adele provided a String of her creation TanglePatterns String #122 and tangles selected are

Verdigogh, a Zentangle® original tangle by Zentangle® co-founder Maria Thomas

Kuke by CZT® Katy Abbott

63Y by CZT® Hsin-Ya Hsu  

I decided to do Verdigogh along the String line, 63Y in the circle and Kuke all over.

I have used Staedtler fine color liners keeping in with the festive mood. I also used gold glitter gel pen to do some CO2.( I just love this tangle!!)

Here's my tile. You can not see the sparkle of the glitter pen though.

I tried taking one more in this angle to see if the glitter will show up, but this too is not clear enough.

Let's keep tangling!

Diva's Weekly Challenge #247: "UMT: African Artist"

Today is the first Monday of the month so that means it's Use My Tangle (UMT).

Laura has selected a beautiful tangle 'African Artist' created by CZT® Tina-Akua Hunziker. 

The tangle is very easy as its just composed of free flowing lines. This is my first attempt with this tangle, but definitely not my last! I added some 'Diva Dance' as a border.

Here is my tile.

Let's keep tangling!

It's A String Thing # 121 - Aquafleur Monotangle Christmas Tree

In this week's "It's a String Thing" #121, Adele wanted to mark the beginning of the Christmas season with a tree theme this week.

What co-incidence!! This week has been all about trees on the Diva's challenge too(you can see my Diva challenge response here).

She provided a String in shape of a Christmas tree and she wanted us to monotangle it using Aquafleur - an Zentangle® original tangle by Maria Thomas

  

I started off and drew the Aquafleur. But felt like using some color. And then before I knew it, my whole tree was colored.. And its not a monotangle tile either.. I ended up adding some Ahh, CO2 , Diva dance to make it more festive.. Also a letter 'S' border..

I got carried away and you can't blame me!!

Here are the pictures of my tile along the way..

Let's keep tangling!
