Stripes

The diva challenged us to do a tile using stripes.  I decided to work off a zigzag string.  We're in full on spring  and the garden is being planted this weekend.  I believe winter is finally over even tho the mountain tops are still snow covered.  Happy Spring everyone!

Frunky

This week's challenge is to use the tangle called Frunky by Katharina Königsbauer-Kolb.  Spring is cool and wet around here, a good time to stay inside and do art.  I enjoyed this one because it has movement.

Zingo

Zingo is a tangle created by Indy and Mazzy, two Grandaughters of Maria, one of the creator's of Zentangle.  These two girls are confident artists and patient teachers and I encourage you to watch them create their tangle at the Diva Challenge.  The Challenge this week is to use Zingo.  By chance, last night, I completed a border in my journal using Batumber and was waiting for inspiration for the center.  When I saw this morning's challenge, I knew Zingo would work.  I used pencil crayons for the colour.

Amphora

Challenge #306 is to use the tangle...Amphora by ZenLilyMoon.  I just love the name of the tangle and that of the artist!  So I mixed it with Rainking and used a tomboy marker for the shading.
Winter is still hanging on around here!  The wind is fierce, the temperatures cool and the snow hasn't melted so I
guess March is in like a lion.  However there is a glimmer of hope, the spring birds are all around...I hear geese down on the marsh.

Duotangle

Diva challenge #305...a duotangle using only two tangles...Molygon and Marasue.  It's still winter around here and I'm finding it a challenge to get up off the couch.  Happy to have these art projects to get me going.  Spring must be right around the corner!

Valentangle

Challenge #303 is to do a valentangle and give it to someone.  This isn't what I was planning.  After reading Rick and Maria's Zentangle newsletter, I decided to give Waybop a try and ended up making a valentangle mandala.  Hope you like it, my sweetheart did.

Hamadox

Diva Challenge #302...Hamadox.


This week we've had an unusual amount of snow, around 36" in just a few days.  As a result, we have been snowbound, unable to leave for days until we found help to dig ourselves out.
