The
Diva has come up with another wonderful tangle, yet to be named, that we got to play with for this week's UMT (Use my Tangle) #166. It is simple, yet it has so many possibilities. Hop over to her blog and give it a try. I think you will like it.
The
Inchie gave me a bit more difficulty as I really enjoy searching for something no one else will think of. Often I am surprised at how many think like I :) Anyway, the prompt for this week was Indigo. Well, it certainly is a lovely color, but I was looking further and found that there is such a thing as "
Indigo Children". I wound up down a rabbit hole (which happens to me way too often) and by the time I looked up, hours had passed and I had learned about something new. This isn't for everyone, I suppose, but I found it interesting.
And a couple of tangles I did while I was giving a demo at Hobby Lobby last Friday:

| Camelia in grid. |
Tan tile that I cut of my own paper done with Sepia pen, white gel pen, white charcoal, and the reddish is a Pitt Pastel pencil. As you may know, last week I played with Camelia without the grid but I decided I should play nice and give the grid a chance. I actually like it this way and I am surprised. What a versatile tangle it is.

| Mooka, Jetties, Fescu, Zinger |
Another on my own tan paper with the same shading.
 |
| Quib, Squid, Footlights, Dex, Rain, Tipple |
Back to our roots on this one. I actually used a string (Hollibaugh) and I don't usually use a string as I find them a bit choppy looking sometimes. (At least when I do them LOL!)
Thanks for stopping by. Please take a peek at my

Both have tabs, as does this blog, to make it easy for you to hop back and forth. I love all the comments you leave. It makes me so happy, and thank you all :)
Well, as they say, you could have knocked me over with a feather! I won
the Diva birthday giveaway for The Book of Zentangle® by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. What a great surprise! Thank you, Laura!
I had an extra tile that I had already traced the letter "J" on for a previous swap and I decided to play with it. I happened to have one of Suzanne McNeil's tangle books with me and used some of her fun tangles. Unfortunately, I forgot to write them down :( So, here it is anyway:
And my poor Inchie goes last this week as I just couldn't get a good picture of the poor little thing. This week's word was "Jet". First thought, jet airplane = dismissed. Second thought was Jet Black. I liked that one. Once I started thinking more about it, I decided that Jet Black = Black Jet. I actually embossed this little plane with black embossing powder, and in person it looks so shiny and pretty. Not so in the photo. I scanned and took a picture but here is the best I could do. Use your imagination:
