Out with the green, in with the rose...

Joey's weekly tangle challenge #52: "Rose in a Sphere"

Rose in a sphere...

This was a though one!

I'm not ecstatic... If you read yesterdays post, you know that I messed up the Rose pattern and pretty much gave up on the whole thing...

But after sleeping on it... No, I'm not giving up on more than half an hour work!

Grabbed a sharp blade and cut out the square that I messed up! Then taped a little piece of paper on the back of my sphere, voilá (well, that's what we say in Denmark when we think we have been really smart!) Now you can hardly even see it...

It does look round, but the edges looks flat. Maybe it's the black... I studied Margaret Bremner's sphere (which by the way is amazing!) and thought I did what she did, but no...

This was no walk in the park... But I still had fun doing it...

Can't wait to see what Joey thinks up for next week...

Tangled Thursday: Use the tangle "Zopfe"

Zopfe is a really lovely tangle that I have never used before, so I am very happy to take part in this challenge and fall in love with yet another tangle...

I kept it simple to get well acquainted with Zopfe and only added Beadlines...

The string I did by making a loop on each side of the border...

Now, this tile, I am very happy with!

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!
