Diva's Weekly Challenge#251-"Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day"

This week's challenge is to raise awareness for the Moebius Syndrome. 

Moebius Syndrome is a congenital nerve disorder which affects 1-2 in 1,000,000 people. 

Yes! Even I did not know about it till today! Diva's younger son Artoo was diagnosed with Moebius Syndrome when he was born.

This Sunday, January 24, is Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day.

So the Diva asked us to use the Moebius Syndrome Foundation's logo as our string, or create a Moebius strip out of paper and tangle that...

I chose to use the logo. I have tangled around the logo rather than use it as a string. 

My obvious choice of tangle pattern was Diva Dance. The Diva's strength as a mother is just so amazing!! I wanted to do this tile as a tribute to her.

The colour for MSAD is Purple. I  have used my Staedtler purple fine liner

Here's my tile.

Diva's Weekly Challenge#250 - Bringing it Back to the Old School

This week's challenge is for us to go back to the roots of Zentangle®.

We had to create a piece on a WHITE 3.5" square tile, with a Black pen and pencil for shading, the way the Zentangle® method initially started.

So I started with a very simple String. I decided to use the first 2 official Zentangle original tangles I could think of. Cubine, Pokeroot!!

It was very relaxing not to have to think about which color to choose, about how I wanted it to turn out.. Just simply putting the pen to the paper and drawing each line.
Like Laura said, its all about THE PROCESS not the product!

Here is my string and my completed tile

"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!

The tiles entered for this challenge are published on following Monday on Adele Bruno's blog

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!
