It's the first Monday of the month, and so the Diva Challenge was to use Unbatz, by CZT Sandy Hunter. This was a fun pattern that allows for many variations, if you're willing to look for them, as you know I always am. I added some Meer, Chartz and Tipple.The tangle chosen for this week at Square One on Facebook was Sez that I paired with Rain.
And, finally, for Every Inchie Monday, the prompt was Love. Even I didn't want to mess with love LOL! Just a tiny quilled heart with a jeweled heart.I appreciate all your comments and try to respond to each one. I apologize to those whose blogs I am unable to visit in return. I seem to run out of time each week. Can anyone else relate?
love your quilled heart with the little jewel (and no visible glue!). Great tangles too.
ReplyDeleteHaHa, Kia. If you go back and see some of my beginning quilling, you will see LOTS of glue!
DeleteWonderful artwork and an amazing inchie
ReplyDeleteLove Chrissie xx
Thanks, Chrissie :)
DeleteNice variation of Unbatz, and a pretty heart!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Ilse!
DeleteYour quilled heart mini breaks my heart!
ReplyDeleteThought I forgot how to quill, didn't you? Next to learn is ribbon flowers!
DeleteJean, I'm impressed with your unbatz. I struggled with it. Yours has depth and movement and, having worked with it myself, I know it wasn't easy---or maybe it was easy and it just wasn't easy for me. Hmm. I need to check out the Inchie challenge (I'm not sure how it works), but I love your "love".
ReplyDeleteInchies are just one inch squares that you do anything with as long as you follow the prompt. So, you could draw, use a stamp, cut out a picture, quill, bead, whatever. Do hop over and see all the different ideas people come up with!
Deleteso much beautiful work this week, love it all!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Freebird :)
DeleteI love the direction you went in your shading. Unbatz has a whole new dimension and I love it!
ReplyDeleteWell, I was having trouble making it "my own", which I know you can relate to. So I kept staring at it and saw these circles.......
DeleteAll are lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lily!
DeleteJean, I like the way you shade unbatz, great depth and circular looking unbatz. Have to try that myself. And you are right no messing with LOVE, your inchie is very cute, with the quilled heart. Sez, Argg I haven't that one just can't get the flow of this tangle. You did a hell of a job!
ReplyDeleteI never use Sez. If it weren't "required" I would skip that one LOL! I did have fun messing with shading and might just see how I can alter the look of other tangles by shading in the future. Thanks Diana :)
DeleteI love these, especially your SeZ. It looks like thunder and lightening!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Antonine :)
DeleteA lovely quilled inchie, love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Wendy!
DeleteI like your diva-tile and I also had fun to use Unbatz that I didn't know before.
ReplyDeleteYour inchie is so cute with this tiny little jeweled heart :-)
It is fun to try new to us tangles. I have my favorites and it's good to have a push to move past using those too much. And, thanks :)
DeleteI like the circles you found in Unbatz! And I agree absolutely with what you say above about Sez, lol!!! But you did it and it looks good - and what a cute Inchie. Axxx
ReplyDeleteI don't usually voice my opinion about a tangle not being my favorite as I am always afraid I will offend someone HAHA! But, as you said, I did it!
DeleteThat unbatz pattern is so versatile...loved what you combined with it! Your inchie is clever too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynell, I really did have to think about how to combine it with other tangles. Sometimes that can be the most difficult thing. I usually just open my collection and point LOL!
DeleteWhat a fascinating variation of Unbatz with this wonderful depth! Great job of shading. Also I love your little quilled heart for the inchie ... fine idea!
ReplyDeleteI love to shade, Lonetta. It's my favorite part of tangling. I love the dramatic change in the tile. Thanks!
DeleteDone very well, Jean. Ik love the quiled inchie too
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Annemarie :)
DeleteI like the way that you played with Unbatz. A pretty tile...and your inchie heart is adorable! Who would think that you could get so much depth and interest using just strips of paper on a one inch square. Great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne. I used to wonder too until I tried it. It is amazing. You should go look at some of the other contributors; they do beautiful work!
DeleteThis is pretty neat, the way you've "circled" your unbatz. The shading makes it seem so tactile. I also think your little quilled heart is adorable. All of these pieces are terrific fun to look at.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Heidi Sue :)
DeleteLots of nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donald.
DeleteLove your quilted circles in unbatz, or maybe they're pillows!
ReplyDeletePillows, what a nice idea. Thanks, Betsy :)
DeleteYour unbatz looks really great with this shading.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bee Watch!
DeleteA quilled heart. Love your love inchie.
ReplyDeleteThought it was time to get back to some quilling. Thanks, Trillian :)
DeleteYou've been busy Jean, I love your quilled heart, would look so beautiful on a card, as usual, great contrast and shading in your tiles too, a real 3D feel to the Diva Challenge this week, well done xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chrissie. I should add more quilling to my cards. It is a lot less expensive than buying all those pretty flowers that other people add.
DeleteJean, great work on making this tangle your own with the shading! Your Sez tile and wee inchie are wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kate!
DeleteWow! Amazing quilling of a heart on such a tiny square. The little jewel heart is just the right touch. I like your Zentangle Art too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather :)
DeleteLove your shading of Unbatz - gives it a great dimension.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan.
