I know you are used to me posting early in the week; however, I have been on a bit of a holiday and just returned yesterday. So, making up for lost time, I did the challenge of "use my tangle" from the Diva. This week's challenge was to try Erin Olson's tangle: Charlie. I think I got just a tiny bit carried away LOL:
Every Inchie Monday asked us to use the prompt "Explode". This is my brain when I am thinking!A trade going on in my Zentangle Inspired Art group on Yahoo is for ATC Dangles. I did one on white, one on cream and one using gel pens. I think I prefer the "traditional" one on white best.
Yet another stunning display! That Charlie monotangle itself looks like an explosion. Your exploding head is hilarious - you speak for all of us :)
ReplyDeleteLove your dangles and coasters. And very interested to learn about Qiviut - I like to work with yarn and thread too. What will you be doing with yours?
Wow, Zoe, thank you for the very kind words. I have been a knitter for a long time and have made tons of stuff. Unfortunately, I developed trigger finger in my thumb when I retired and was knitting and drawing all day with a very tight grip. I haven't been able to knit for months and am hoping that I will again soon. The Qiviut is a very fine fiber so it would be suitable for a shawl or scarf. I think I have enough to make both. I am in the process of hunting down patterns using larger needles (I love making socks with size one needles) because I think they will be less stress on my hands. I hope so anyway :)
DeleteJean, you did so very well. I love Charlie, it's really an axplosion -:)
ReplyDeleteThe tangles look like big fun and the coasters are lovely.
Thanks, Annemarie. I do enjoy those dangles because they are colorful and different than traditional Zentangles.
DeleteAn absolute Sunday morning pleasure for me, Jean. Sitting with my coffee looking at your lovely art work this morning. SO much fun - I love the exploding brain and Charlie is sort of a Zentangle version of the same thing!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Zendangle things - I haven't really tried this style much but it's lovely. I think I like your middle one the best. And the coasters are stunning! Do tell how you did them...
Axxx
I think all of the things that I worked on were easy to do because they all were such fun, Annie. The coasters are sold where they have cross stitch. They come with the fabric and a design and are less than $5.00 each. I just took out what it came with and used the backing paper that was already cut to the correct size to tangle on. A great gift.
DeleteGreat fun inchie Jean, and some great tangles.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Wendy!
DeleteJean, your diva challenge looks like a lighting strike! Love it! Very striking lines :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kailey. I think I really like "Charlie."
DeleteOh my gosh! YOU WIN! Your inchie is AWESOME and I totally resemble that! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenn. It made me laugh out loud myself :)
Deletelove the explode. It is great also love those zentangles they are just so busy and interesting. I do not know how you ladies all do what you do. I am always blown away. great job
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm not sure I can keep up this week though. Some weeks are just like that.
DeleteWonderful! Your tile with charlie looks like fireworks! I like your colourful Dangles-ATC´s very much especially the first one. Beautifull pieces this week again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lonetta. I thought the things I had to do for my swaps were fun. I need to do more "fun" things.
