I am running a bit behind this week. We were gone for a few days for a friend's wedding. I'm up and running again and have completed the Challenge, Dare, and TOW.
The Diva challenged us to do a tangle called Cruze, by Caren Mlot. This is a fun tangle which I did on a water colored ATC. Trying to kill two birds with one stone, this ATC will go with my deck of cards CZT (Certified Zentangle Teacher) swap.
The Zendala Dare #79 for the week was to do something to thank the founders of Zentangle, Rick and Maria, by doing something that makes us think of them. I am ever so grateful for having Zentangle in my life and I count my CZT training as a highlight of my life as well. I always think of Maria when I attempt Mooka (you must watch this video if you have never seen Maria do Mooka). I say attempt, because once you watch this, you will know why LOL! Then, Paradox is just Rick to me. Probably because his name is on it :)
And, finally, the TOW from my Yahoo group was to use Zinbolic by Patty Meijer. I also used some Antidots and a variant of Crescent Moon:
Really nice set of work for running behind this week! I know the feeling! :)
ReplyDeleteLife does seem to be rushing for all of us these days. Thank goodness for Zentangle to calm us down!
Deletethese are all very nice
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cecile :)
DeleteWonderful all three! Especially I like your zendala. Mooka is great here!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lonetta. I wasn't sure Mooka would fit in those shapes, but with just a bit of tweaking I got it to :)
DeleteGreat job, watercolor background on your first is beautiful, love your Mooka Zendala, it just sings. Beautiful flow and movement.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Daniele. I love playing with watercolors, markers, water crayons, spritzes, sprays, well, just about anything that makes color!
DeleteYour Diva Challenge tile is great! I'm still working on mine... I just can't figure out how I want to use Cruze!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE your zendala! You did a fantastic job of transforming the template using Mooka - LOVE IT!
Thank you, Kathryn. I really need to go back myself and stretch out Cruze to see what it can really do. Mooka has always been difficult for me. I'm just not graceful myself and I don't think I draw that way either. But, practice practice practice :)
DeleteI love the watercolor with Cruze on it and I also like your zendala a lot!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annemarie. Yesterday a did a big sheet of watercolor, added salt while wet and cut into ATC sized pieces (after rubbing the salt off). These will be so much fun to tangle. I like playing with color.
