Zentangle® 'NZeppel, Flux, Tagh, and an Inchie
The challenge, #290, from I am the Diva, is to use just 'NZeppel and Flux. I though it might be nice to use Flux as the string and fill with the 'NZeppel. I used a Renaissance tile, Polychromos pencils, and charcoal in white and brown.
The focus tangle for Square One on Facebook this week is Tagh.
And the prompt word for Every Inchie Monday is Pirates. This was a fun one to research. I found that there were several famous women pirates. I was most intrigued by a pair that became good friends, Anne Bonny and Mary Reed. The interesting thing was that both of these women were brought up as boys.

Amazing artwork and such a jolly inchie
ReplyDeleteLove Chrissie xx
Thanks Chrissie. Good thing I'm not a boat builder LOL!
DeleteAwesome your Diva, great idea to integrate Nzepple in Flux. Beautiful. I like your tagh too.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy putting tangles inside of tangles, Carmela. Thanks!
DeleteI do like your pirate ship! Hope they don't make too many people walk the plank though lol.

HaHa, Sally. I should have added one!
DeleteWonderful idea to integrate 'Nzeppl in Flux and nice colours :-) Gudrun S.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gudrun!
DeleteLove your N'zepple in Flux!
ReplyDeleteHi, Cheryl! Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment!
DeleteA beautiful and original Diva's tile with cheerful colors and an interesting story to read, thanks Jean for sharing and I do like your INchie of the Pirateship!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved brown and blue together, Ria. Thanks for your sweet comments.
Deletelove your inchie research Jean, I knew about Anne Bonny (from the movies, I'm a classic movie addict) but not the other and not about them being raised as boys. Great ship
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about a movie, Kia. I really just want all pirates to look like Johnny Depp LOL!
DeleteAlways an interesting post along with talented work - your Diva work is great and I love your pirate ship.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment, Jenny!
DeleteI love your Inchie square-sail pirate ship. Those women pirates must have been some tough cookies. And your Tagh is great - I like the part that's going off on its own direction. And then there's the Diva Challenge tile - It turned out beautiful. It all looks so rounded and the colors are great. I thought about doing the 'Nzeppel inside the Flux, but when I got going something else happened. LOL Again, so much fun to see what you've done.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine how tough those women must have been,Melena. But, at that time, I think life was tough for all women. Don't you just love when you think your tangles should do a certain thing and you wind up with something else? My favorite LOL!
DeleteWow Jean, that NZeppel inside Flux is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Annemarie :)
DeleteGreat pirate ship. Yo ho ho and a bottle of ... The Diva Challenge is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love a old rum and coke, Melissa. But, I have developed an allergy to alcohol! Have you ever heard of something so very silly? Sigh......
DeleteGood idea to mix the two patterns ! Pretty tile
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chantal!
DeleteLove the tangles, the colour on the first one makes it special, the second one looks a bit like wonky gravestones, and very effective. The pirate ship made me smile, and yes I agree with you about you not being a ship builder, both those masts would fall over before it set sail. Very brave of you to put a whole ship on an inch. xx
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet, Wendy, but you are the one who is a master of filling an inch! Your inchies always amaze me. Yes, I can hardly scotch tape anything together securely. My boys always laugh and say there is no need for me to put my name on gifts as they can tell by the way it is wrapped...poorly HaHa! No ship building for either of us I guess :)
DeleteLovely challenge tile, and I love the color! Aye Matey! Great inchie!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kate!
DeleteLOVE your Diva challenge! The random blue Nzeppel is awesome inside the flux string! Your Tagh is pretty neat too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue. I knew Rick and Maria had different styles for Mooka, but had forgotten that it was so for Flux. It was nice to be reminded of that. This was a fun challenge!
DeleteMy favorite is your amazing diva tile! I love the composition and the beautiful color!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Anja!
DeleteSuch a big boat on such a small inchie. Love your pirate inchie and the research you did.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Trillian. I am not happy when I am not learning something new, so these inchies are good for me :)
DeleteLike them both, Jean.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat!
DeleteWow, your Flux-Nzeppel is just gorgeous! Wonderful the touch of blue!
ReplyDeleteYour diva challenge tile has such a pretty glow to it. And the tagh piece is Halloweeny, looking like a graveyard. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteLOL, HeidiSue! You're right. Must be on my mind :)
DeleteLove how you put your n zeppel Inside the flux! And that hint of blue on each, like a pretty flower garden. Clever and lovely!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was original, Beck, but I have actually seen a lot of people who did the same thing. Each one does look different though. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteThese are all fun but the Diva tile is fabulous. I wanted to put the Nzeppel inside Flux but couldn't make it work somehow. Yours is excellent.
ReplyDeleteMaria showed how to use 'NZeppel in a "wonky" way too, Magrat. Do try it again. It's fun to be able to squeeze it into unusual spaces.
DeleteBeautiful! I especially like the combination of brown and blue, plus the white highlights add so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Donna :)
DeleteI love your use of Flux as the string for 'Nzeppel! All of your tiles are so nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sidney!
Deletebrilliant idea for a duotangle. Wonderful tiles! And I love that little Pirateboot, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Simone!
DeleteI love your `Nzeppel in Flux and the colours are great!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Simone :)
DeleteI LOVE your Diva tile with your Flux being filled with 'NZeppel. What a neat idea! Love the bit of color you used in it too. Tagh looks great and I agree with Heidi...it really does look like headstones. As always, I love your inchie and your research each week. It is always interesting and I really like your little pirate ship!
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet, Lezli, to read everything, even the comments. Thank you!
DeleteI love both of them!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lily!
