Stacking tangles... And tiles...


Meer - Mi2 - Mr. E
Meer was new to me. What a great tangle! I really love how the little sparkles makes such a huge difference in it's appearance... It was a bit of a challenge to draw it spiraling though!
I had to look up Mi2, it's one of the tough ones to remember if you don't use it regularly, but it's such a pretty tangle!


This is always a fun challenge and usually it really is a challenge to get the two patterns mixed!

Stacked!
I've seen these tangled stacks around and it looked like so much fun I just had to try for myself!
And it really is fun. Also very relaxing and zenful.
It's just tangle after tangle after tangle... Just hold the pen and it flows out on it's own...

Tackling Tuesdays again!

Tackle it Tuesday... It's back!
And with a new theme... Alphabet strings. 
This week: A... With A-tangles...
I decided to tangle around an A silhouette.
Arukas, aa's, all boxed up, beadlines, squid, dandi... And some random doodling...


Just two new to me tangles this time, so I went for it...


It took me a while to get Mel Mel flowing... And I found that I like it better in a row than in a circle...
Somehow everything just wanted to be flowers in this tile...
I could not resist the cruffle butterfly...




I had fun with this as a string! I will have to try this in a bigger scale too... And with color...



Another new to me tangle. But this one was easy to learn and fun to draw. Great tangle. Great challenge!

If you like monotangles go check out Suzy Mosh's new Sunday challenge "Tangle Me 3". This week starring Cadent.



Go ahead and take a bite... (Z)enjoy....

Inside my journal
Last week in my journal... As always I layered tiles with notes and other stuff underneath...

Kelly's challenge is almost into it's second half of 2015 and I'm still going strong! Who would have thought that? Not me for sure.
I'm very happy that I still manage to do just a little creative every day. By now it's sure to be a habit hard to get out of.

A week in the zen...

I am going through the old zendala dares while waiting for new ones. I used the #6 template as a string for Diane & Carolien’s alphabet challenge.
This was a great template and the first time I have tangled a star!

Inside my journal
Lately there has come very few tiles from my pens.
But last week I not only tangled a lot of tiles, I also worked in my sketchbook, took part in some challenges and learned some new tangles. What a great feeling!
I layered tiles and below them put notes about what we did last week, a book I read last week, an inchie and a twinchie.


 I went for the tangle 'amoeba' which was new to me. I really liked drawing it.


Arukas is one of my absolute favorite tangles. It has endless possibilities. I made some arukas tiles, but this was the one I liked the best...
I can't wait to see what B-tangle Joey picks for next weeks challenge!


This wasn't my favorite template... But a challenge is a challenge, no cheating!
So I gave it a go... It turned out a bit too busy for my own taste... I tried adding some color to calm it down...
Rick's paradox, all boxed up, cubine, zonked, beadlines, tipple


I will be forever amazed at how much drawing you can fit in a square inch!
I love this challenge!

A week with challenges...


This is a great pattern to draw.




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!




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.

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