A week in color...

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #218: "White on Black"

 I really enjoy drawing white on black so this challenge was right up my alley...

joey's weekly tangle challenge #61: Tangle a flower shaped string
Zendala Dare #3

 

Inside my sketchbook

My son sat down next to me while I was tangling and asked if he could make a tiny drawing too!

He only wanted to color in though so I drew him a string and this is as far as he got before something else caught his attention...

Watching him I just got an urge to color in, it's so relaxing. So I made one for myself too...

Every inchie monday #21: "Envelope"

 This weeks inchie I made on a piece of an actual envelope...

For the love of zendalas...

I've really been missing Erin's Zendala Dare...

It's a month now since the last one...

So I decided to just go ahead and start at the beginning! That leaves me with lots and lots of zendala templates as I only just got started doing them at #95...

Here's my take on the very first Zendala Dare...

Zendala Dare #1

Arukas, knight's bridge, inaura, tipple, fescu, zescen, ovolution

Inside my journal...

These are my journal pages from week 16..

Under the zentangle tiles is notes about a book I read that week, a movie and a new tv-show I started watching...

On this page I wrote a little about what we did this week...

Under the picture of my Sofie's Universe is a picture of a birthday card I made for my nephew and under that I wrote about his birthday party and his present...

Every Inchie Monday #17: "Shell"

My favorite challenge of the very many available has to be this little one!

If you, like me, cannot get enough of the inchies, you should check out the twinchie challenge too!

One hundred days of creativity!

 Hang on, I've got an entire week's work in pictures for you here!

Are you hanging? Good, let's go then...

Page 3 in my tangle sampler book is now done... Looking back I see that I posted about finishing page 2 on February 11th and this page contains about 65 tangles... It's roughly a new tangle a day...

That's pretty awesome! Go me! ;)

 

joey's weekly tangle challenge #55: Use Cat-kin

Cat-kin is a great tangle! It's simple and repetitive to draw and looks cool, I love it!

B'twined is one of many tangles I learned and only actually used once. But it's also a great tangle to draw, I will have to use it more.

(I wish I had made it bigger upwards, but that's for next time!)

Tackle it Tuesday: use string #3 and a new to me tangle

I decided cat-kin was new enough to pass for a new to me tangle...

String #3

New tangle: Cat-kin

Inapod, eca-lin, lockar curls, ovolution, courant, enyshou, lilypads

It seems most of the participants in this challenge didn't care for the new theme... Only two submissions this week and not many last week either...

Go check it out, it's so much more fun when more people take part... :)

Joey's inside my sketchbook friday link up

Owls, owls, owls...

I adopted Joey's cut-and-paste idea for my sketchbook...

My favorite things to draw is cats, owls doodle flowers... And I love to color in after, that is if I get the chance before the kids steals my drawings!

This time I got there in time... Perfect for a rainy Saturday afternoon...

That's New To Me Challenge #14: Q

String: I drew one..

Quib and Quabog

I've seen some really cool tiles using Quib. It looks so fun to draw, so I had to try.

And it was a great tangle to draw. But I didn't really know what to do with it once I had the quib down...

There was no step-out to be found on Quabog, maybe it's one of the top-secret tangles!

Good thing it's so simple even I can figure it out...

When I had drawn Quabog it looked so messy... Then I filled it with black and it took the focus away from the Quib...

Colored pencils to the rescue!!

Now it looks sort of outer-spacey... And I like it!

We have now passed one hundred days of creativity over at Whimsy by Kelly's where we're going for 300 creative days in 2015...

Yay for us!

The magic of zen...

Zendala Dare #100

Usually these zendalas just practically draw themselves... But not this one... I gave up on it twice...

But I still had a template among the papers laying around my end of the table... And today those ovals in the center were suddenly telling what they wanted and... voila!

It happened again. It's like magic!

Uncorked by Adele Bruno

Ovolution, Kozy, Nymph

Lawn Yawn by Molossus

That's new to me #13: "L"

Laced by Mary Elizabeth Martin

Lotuspods and Lilypads by Margaret Bremner

Lawn Yawn by Molossus

Lockar Curls by Ninna

Laced I have used a few times before, the rest were all firsttimers...

I really love lilypads and lawn yawn. Both aren't much to look at until surrounded by black, but then they look so great!

I wish I had skipped the lotuspods, I just can't get them to look as I want...

The lockar curls are right up my ally, I just love those swirls.

 #whimsybykelly2015 day 94

Easter holidays have begun!

Hang in there... It's a long one... Covering 3 days...

So it's monday... And it's easter... Aka HOLIDAY! Aka YAY!

 

 Every Inchie Monday #13: Oak

Oh, no! Someone took an axe to my oak tree!

Or maybe just a butterknife... As it's only an inch...

Today I brought out the scratch tiles and made two "happy easter" cards for some easter eggs that I am giving away for the "gækkebrev" I sent out a couple of weeks ago. (It's a Danish tradition, you can read about it in this post...)

God påske = Happy easter...

 I think maybe I made a new border tangle on the colored tile. I quite like it! And I love how it came about all on it's own!

I added some new scratch tiles too with the easter eggs. Spreading a little creativeness along with the chocolate! :D

Sunday...

It's been a very long time since I last picked up a crochet hook... More than a year... Maybe even two... How time flies...

At least it was long enough that I had to look up the stitches! (It can be a bit confusing with the difference in UK vs US stitches with the same name...)

I was stopping by www.heatherpearson.com looking for the tangled thursday challenge but instead I found the most amazing thing on Heather's needlework tuesday post...

The reason I suddenly just HAD to dust of the crochet case was this crazy amazing CAL (crochet along) called Sofie's Universe ...

So many different stitches and colors it looks so fun to make!

Just look at this amazing piece... It's up to part 12 of 20 so the ones who got started in time is about halfway done...

What it should look like about halfway done... Amazing!

I DID NOT MAKE THIS! Follow the link to see the other 2 versions/sizes of this beauty...

I only just got started!

No, this tiny little doily is what I made most of on saturday and a little today...

I love these colors!

 This is actually just a trial run... I just wanted to make sure I was up for this pretty intense challenge before investing in new yarn (Nooo, I do not have yarn in my stash that will work for this! Well, I don't have enough of that yarn anyways! So really, I have to by new yarn... I do!)...

This is cheap cotton which I have a pretty big stash of and thus a nice range of colors... But a larger piece is going to be pretty heavy if made in cotton, so I prefer wool...

But I'm very sure there's a teddy in the house who would be a happy taker of this test run...

 

 Saturday...

"Triple B" Bible Book Biweekly Challenge 

Finally got around to finishing the second drawing for the "Triple B" Bible Book Biweekly Challenge.

The terms for the challenge have now changed. So you do not need to draw an entire page to participate, now any size goes!

I went for half a page as I have been pretty low on tangle-time this week...

 

This weeks book is "Exodus"...

E - Enyshou by Zentangle

X - X by Poppie_60

O - Ovolution by Sandra Chatelain and Ogel by Margaret Bremner (Oops... a second O tangle sneaked it's way in...)

D - Diva Dance Foxtrot by Zentangle

U - Undling by Susie Achter

S - Shing by Margaret Bremner

 Of these 7 tangles only 2 were known to me. I really love all these new tangles I learned, but especially Ovolution and Ogel.
