White Space

This week, the Diva's challenge is to leave some white space in our creations.  Lately, big white fluffy snowflakes have frequently filled the air leaving the trees and branches covered in a sound absorbing cocoon.  Later in the day the white mass turns to dripping water as it melts away.  These pictures remind me more of spring which is just around the corner around here. I had a difficult time knowing when to quit and just had to add some colour.

Valentangle

I love the name of this week's Diva Challenge...Valentangle.  The name speaks for itself and I created a Zentangle valentine for my dear partner.

Here it is again with some more shading.

 This was the first one I completed which I think is a bit confusing but decided to include anyway.

Jailed Johnny

This week's Diva Challenge is to use the tangle called Jailed Johnny by Sadelle Wiltshire, CZT.  The step outs for this tangle are here.
I didn't think I was going to like this tangle but as I worked on it I realized the possibilities for bugs and butterflies and the organic possibilities became apparent as it progressed.  So...here is today's zentangle.

Henna Drum

Happy Summer!  It's been a long time between posts and a long time between zentangles.  The garden is finally giving me some breathing room and I can get back to the other things I love.  The Diva Challenge this week is to use the tangle Henna Drum.  My hands are a little wobbly after a long time not holding the pen.

Stars

Good morning dear friends...The sky is blue and the sun is just about to peak over the mountain.  It's supposed to be spring around here but the weather isn't cooperating.  The peas went into the garden 2 weeks ago and there is no sign of them popping out of the ground yet.  This day shows promise with not a cloud in sight and we're hoping for a warm sunny day.
The theme of the Diva challenge this week is stars.  Here is my first attempt combining stars and the tangle pattern mooka.

Too Square

A square within a square, within a square, within a square.....you get the idea!  The Diva Challenge this week was so much fun!!!

Tuxedo

The Diva challenge this week is to work with a tangle called Tuxedo.  This one was tricky to learn and took a bit of work.
