A week of challenges...

Joey's Weekly Tangle Challenge #65: Bunzo monotangle

Bunzo is new to me and I have to say I really like this pattern.

That's New to Me #24: "R"

Artist Focus - Lily Popcheff

Rixty is an old favorite...

Riki-Tiki and Chechain by Lily Popcheff are both new to me and the latter is now a new favorite.

That's New to Me #25: "F"

Flora by Sandy Steen Bartholomew
Facets by Nancy Pinke
Both of these great tangles were new to me. I'm already a fan of Facets, it looks amazing when shaded...

Be sure to check out Suzy's new monotangle challenge "Tangle me 3". It airs today!

Diva's Weekly Tangle Challenge #222: "Colors of the Rainbow"

Riki Tiki by Renee King

Dust Bunny by Margaret Bremner

I do so enjoy tangling with color...

Inside my journal...

My journal has some extra pages, so I added some zendala dares...

Of course afterwards it occoured to me it would be wiser to remove extra pages as my journal is already mad thick and we're only half through the year...

I have been searching the net for a journal with a bigger spiral so it wont be as bulgy, but so far I'm coming up short...

A week with challenges...

The Diva's weekly challenge #220: UMT All boxed up

This is a great pattern to draw.

Muster mixer #7: Jax & Cat-kin

It's been a while since I participated in this challenge. I find it very... Challenging... Which means it takes time.

This time I am familiar with both tangles so I gave it a shot...

Hopefully I cracked the code this time!

Joey's weekly tangle challenge #63

String #6, Jax, Jetties

Inside my sketchbook

I saw this on pinterest and had to try it... Lots of straight lines and no thinking, it's so relaxing...

When I was a kid, I loved playing fold-man. I still do. And so do my kids. We use small pieces of paper, move them around to see which combinations looks funny.

Every Inchie Monday #23: Wave

That's new to me #22: "A"

Ann, Allium, Alicat

Two new tangles under my belt this week as I already knew Ann.

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...

Down to earth...

Tackle It Tuesday

The Diva Challenge #214: Earth Day

While drawing this for Tackle it Tuesday, it occurred to me that it would fit pretty neatly for the Diva challenge too...

So I brought out the watercolors to emphasize the earthly theme...

String #5

One new to me tangle: Riverstones

Also Kozy and Betweed

joey's weekly tangle challenge #57

"Find a string in the photo."

Another great challenge from Joey...

Msst, wavy border, sez, roxi, pokeleaf, ripple, fescu, waves, rain dotty

This tile contains only water/beach related tangles.

Once again I added some color to bring forth the earth/beach theme...

Two Times Two by Two by Tuesday: "Royal"

Please check out this new challenge!

If you enjoy the Every Inchie Monday, you will love the Tuesday Twinchies too!

The more entries, the more fun for every one!

Two ideas popped in my head with this 4th 2x2 challenge, so I kept with the theme and made two twinchies...

Royal is Royal Copenhagen's mega mussel pattern...

Royal is the tangles King's Crown, Queen's Crown and Knights Bridge with royal blue, gold and glitter...

Crazy for cubine...

Weekly Challenge #208: "Duotangle - Cubine vs Pokeroot"

Cubine is one of those tangles that just looks kind of boring. Of course that's just because I never took the time to play with it...

I'm so very happy Laura picked it for this week challenge, forcing me to use it...

A whole new cubine world opened up to me when I followed the link to Margaret Bremners tutorial!

Truly amazing and so very inspiring tutorial... Margaret is my favorite tangler, she does such amazing work!

Here is my cubine/pokeroot tile...

I have really fallen for cubine. I love the depth it can create. I will be using it again for sure!

Scratch that...

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #206: "Tools/Trade"

"This week's challenge is to try using tools or materials you've never used before for tangling."

How perfect that I today received a package from Amazon containing black tiles and some scratch tiles too...

The scratch tiles I saw someone use on a blog, do not remember who or where, but I really wanted to try this. Also it was something I knew would drag the kids away from their ipads and do something creative for a while...

Black tiles I haven't tried tangling before. Only some scraps of black paper last week when I bought some white gelly rolls.

So my submission for this weeks diva challenge is these two...

Wavy border, Locar, Maryhill, Poke-leaf, Tipple

Inaura, Inapod, Poke-leaf, Eke

Drawing white on black was very enjoyable. Luckily the pack I bought contains 75 tiles, so I'll be playing more with that.

The scratch tile was really fun to do. I remember loving thise as a child.

For the next one I'll dig out a knitting needle and see if the lines can be cleaner with that. The nib on the little stick that came with the pack is rather thick and makes very uneven lines when drawing round...

My daugther did some flowers and hearts on hers. My son scratched his name and then proceeded to scratch off all of the black... That's my boy, so thorough...

Kiss the goat...

Diva's Weekly Challenge #205: "Year of the (kissing) Goat"

String: The kissing goat...

Tangles: Sooflowers, Ahh

In China they celebrate new years by jumping of a bamboo chair and kissing a goat. If they don't own a goat them selves they borrow from a neighbor or relative...

(Nooo, of course I did not come up with this story just because I accidentally drew a kissing mouth. Seriously!!)

Love is in the air...

In Denmark we call December the feast of the hearts... It seems in the states that would be febuary...

Valentangle for the Diva #204...

I was trying to make a heart with my new favorite tangle; Ixorus... Checked with my daugther and though she did see a heart I just wasn't feeling it - so I decided to go all in on the watercolor pencils...

Not really all that happy about it... Maybe all this hearty stuff is getting a bit too much for my taste...

Joey's weekly tangle challenge #47 is also a valentangle...

Again, I'm not that happy... I might just redo that one... Love the string...

String #39

Luv-A, Hugs N Kisses

Every Inchie Monday #6: Night

(No hearts!!!)

Going Diva style...

I just love this weekend... So much time and nothing at all that I have to do...

The cleaning is out of the way - the laundry is done...

We're having leftovers for dinner today... Easy peasy...

I am so feeling the zen...

So much I decided to do the Diva challenges all the way from #1...

Well maybe not all today...

But the first 6 then... Great challenges!

I also decided to use only tangles that I already know - a little practice is good...
All though Ixorus is new - I really love that one... It's a keeper!
