Arukas galore...

#whimsybykelly2015 day 32
muster mixer #2
tangled thursday

So we break in to the second month of Kelly's 300 creative days challenge. I for one is very proud that I did not skip a single day!
A little creative time every day is no longer something I have to remember to do. It's more like I have to remember to stop... You know, I do have to sleep too....
It is now a habit... And one I hope to keep longer than those 300 days...

I'm so happy I stumbled over Kelly's challenge!

I absolutely love sunday... Especially sundays where I have 3 whole hours alone (I love my family but oh how good it is to have silence for a little while... And no interuptions...)

It went by so fast it felt like less than half an hour... I actually did not move out of the chair... (Well, I did... A girl needs her coke...) 3 hours of pure Arukas-tangle-pleasure...

Yesterday I had my troubles with Arukas... I was trying to combine it with Balloya for the Muster Mixer #2 challenge over at Freude mit Zentangle and coming out short due to my eyes... They kept closing... Makes it kinda difficult...

No such trouble today...

I really love Arukas!

Diane Clancy commented (Thank you!) one of my posts and I found another challenge by following her link...
Tangled Thursday... You can find it here...
This week's topic is winter and Arukas is just perfect for snowflakes!

Now you might think I had had enough of Arukas by now...
But no, I really needed to play more with it. So I flipped a few pages in my tangle sampler pad and dedicated an entire page to this wonderfully diverse tangle pattern...


Some were quite successful, some not so much...

My favorite is the spiderweb version...
These three are nice too...

And so the weekend comes to an end... Incredible how fast it flies by...

Thanks to everyone for commenting - you are all so sweet!

  5. these are wonderful. I'm glad you showed your sketch book page. It's helpful to me to play with a tangle without the pressure of turning it into a tile or zia.

    Thanks for linking up with Tangled Thursday.
