Diva Challenge 223

This week the lovely Diva asked us to use the newly released step out for UMBLE.  It is a cool tangle with many possibilities.  I struggle a little with keeping the border lines consistent.  So, after a few tries, I used umble as my string and filled in the spaces with other tangles.  I bought my first Sakura Pigma Graphic 1 pen and I am still getting used to using it for the larger dark spaces. Since it lays a heavier line of ink, I need to learn to use a lighter hand. 

Umble with Narwal, yew-dee, dragonaire, rain, star map, garlic gloves, fescu, 'nzeppel, and buttercup

Diva Challenge 222

It's been a busy week here...not much time for tangling.  I missed the Beads challenge, but really enjoyed all the fabulous entries.  We took the boys to their first Major League Baseball game, the rain seems to come everyday (good for garden and grass) and we are looking forward to sunny days..to end the week, we went a saw a minor movie release...JURASSIC WORLD... No spoilers here, but it was FANTASTIC

Here is my submission for colors...I am getting more comfortable with coloring my creations and have added a few new tools to the mix.  I have been practicing Narwal...so many ways and shapes it can be used. Thanks for visiting :)

I don't always get to post to Joey's challenge, but this week time was on my side. Tried out a few new markers, but couldn't decide what color I wanted to background my Japan Diamonds...

Diva Challenge 220

This week's challenge was a call out to use Alice Hendon's (co-star of Facebook group Zentangle: Stacked and Tangled) All Boxed Up.  Simple tangle that becomes more complex if you are trying to keep those darn lines straight.  I had fun and look forward to the amazing tiles that will be on display this week.
