This week, Caroline Broady is the guest challenger for the Diva Challenge. I met Caroline and her mom at my CZT training last year in June. It's fun to see someone start out so young with this amazing thing called Zentangle. I can only imagine what she will be doing when she is an adult. Caroline came up with a new tangle called Truffle. She used it beautifully. However, she did say we should feel free to do a tangleation and to have fun, so I did both :)For this week's Every Inchie Monday, the prompt was "Odd"! Well, I started thinking of the odds of winning the lottery and I actually looked it up. Sigh, I guess I will never win!
And, finally, I was asked to share some of my newest art interest, quilling. I have really just started and don't have much exciting to share, but you can see what I am up to by visiting my Copics and Paper Fun tab above, or click HERE to go directly to that page.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, that is one cute quilling piece! Well done, welcome! And may the odds be in all of our favour and soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Zoe. I would have posted your comment and those below earlier except that all comments went into my spam file this week!!!! I kept checking and wondered where everyone went. I think it is because I am getting spam to this site from "anonymous" that I always put in spam. Now, Google has decided that everyone who writes to TangleStreet is spam.
DeleteWOW you made it wild girl... love it... GREAT TIA... Love, Light and Peace..Bonnie
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bonnie. That's exactly where I was going with it. Fun!
Deletelove your odds of winning the lottery - it truly is astronomical! You've done some interesting things with Truffle - I'm still working it out in my head. And your quilling is cute - it is an awesome talent to have.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kia. Sometimes it's best to just let it go where it wants instead of thinking about it too much. Anyway, that's the way I like to roll with it.
Deleteawesome to hear about a young person exploring their artistic side. Glad you got to meet her and be inspired by her. I love the Odd inchie, a theme i wouldnt have thought about for sure. The quilling is also really exciting. I love how you put it on a doily. Great and creative week for you for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I did have a fun week doing a lot of different things. I'm enjoying quilling but I just am battling with the glue HAHA! There's got to be a better glue.
DeleteWow, Jean, your truffle has a great perspective look. I like it... Simple, just enough shading, and very flowy.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am a real believer of shading. I love how you don't have to worry about a light source in Zentangle shading. All you have to think about is the depth to achieve perspective.
DeleteYou truffle looks like a whirly gig blowing in the wind!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen. I was seeing roller coasters but a whirly gig is even better!
DeleteI like "truffles in flight"
ReplyDeleteThanks. I guess it really does look like that! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment :)
DeleteOh my word! your tangle tile looks like something Leonardo DaVinci would dream up! A swirly twirly flying machine. What fun!
ReplyDeleteWow! Wouldn't it be something to have his thought process? Thanks, Heidi Sue!
DeleteThe way you did the theme for the inche would be something I would never think of; nicely done ;also, I love your Diva challenge picture. Have a good week Jean!!
ReplyDeleteHi Lexey! Thanks for the nice words and for stopping by. You have a great week too!
DeleteLove your 'Truffle'. I have to agree, I was thinking whirly gig too!! And superb idea for 'odd'!! (that's why I don't play the Lottery). Wow, I am so excited to see your quilling,........beautiful job!! I think I have a post on my blog about glueing. I'll have to check. But, you are just starting too. It'll get to where you won't have that. Have fun and quill away!!! :0) Share Humanity
ReplyDeleteOh, Annette, I have soooo much to learn. I am typing right now with gluey fingers from working on next week's inchie with quilling! I guess I have to remember that I AM a beginner.
DeletePs. By the way, your link to your Copic and paper fun tab, leads us to Every Inchie Monday cover page. Just thought I'd let you know! :0)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annette, for pointing that out. I have fixed the link :)
DeleteI love the tangleations of truffle. I've tried quilling too, getting the glue on the paper in small enough quantities without sticking my fingers together is definitely a challenge. Linda x
ReplyDeleteHAHA, thanks for the encouragement, Linda!
DeleteWonderful work as always and I just love the idea for the inchie-what amazing odds:(
ReplyDeleteLove Chrissie x
Thanks Chrissie. I guess everyone, except me, should stop playing. That would fix the odds!
DeleteJean, your Truffle is very creative!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annemarie. You know I love to "mess" with tangles :)
DeleteWonderful tile! I like your Truffle very much. There is a great movement in it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lonetta :)
DeleteJean, everything you do communicates an "I am having fun" vibe. It's infectious. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear you say that, Jennifer. I do have fun, and I hope everyone else is too!
DeleteFun! You made Truffle a helicopter.
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh, Donald :)
DeleteBeautiful Tangleation of Truffle, Jean. They do look like they are flying. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI am always inspired by your work and actually, by your entire blog! Love your tile and also your quilling. Wish I could do it, but too tedious for my arthritis!
ReplyDeleteBe Happy,
Jacque

You are so kind, Jacque. Your comment made my day :) I'm sorry you have arthritis that keeps you from doing what you want to do. I just finished doctoring for trigger finger that kept me from knitting for over half a year. I now can do so a little now. A little is better than nothing though.
DeleteNice inchie. Who knows perhaps one day you will win. I keep my fingers crossed for.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I guess I should start buying tickets then?
DeleteWhat a lovely way of using Truffle. It sure is flowy. I like what you quilled. I did it once but it was not for me. Hope to see more soon. Thanks for commenting on my blog, I had to Google to see who Paul Klee was....I learned something today. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kay, and I enjoyed your different take on Truffle. I used to be an art teacher and Klee was one of the artists that my children enjoyed learning about. He did some interesting things, as did you!
DeleteLove how you have interepreted odd and your quilling is amazing,, gorgeous colours too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisette. I so enjoy learning new things. I'm having fun with the quilling.
DeleteLove your tangleation of truffle and your quilling is so neat too! I used to do that way back in the day, but haven't done it for years. Fun to see it again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate. I was finding that the embellishments for my card making were just too expensive, so I thought this might be more cost effective. And, it is :)
DeleteI can't help it - I see here a Flamenco dancer up-side-down :)
ReplyDeleteLot's of flow and movement in this tile
So funny, Omer, how we do see things in some tangles. I guess I just must have posted it upside-down HAHA :)
DeleteLove what you've done with Caroline's new tangle, Truffle - it has such brilliant movement here! Axxx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Annie :)
DeleteThank you, Diane. I felt like it was a roller coaster too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful - so beschwingt!
