Zentangle® Hamadox, Neuron, and Crescent Moon
The first Monday of the month, so it is a UMT (use my tangle) over at I am the Diva. This week's tangle comes rom CZT Diana Schruer and is called Hamadox. It is backed with Florz. I use a Renaissance tile with a pink Copic Multiliner and Prismacolor pencils.
The focus tangle from Facebook's Square One is Beth Snoderly’s Neuron. Very simple tangle, so it was fun to come up with something different using a "star" based one instead of the circles.
Beginning to work through the basic beginner tangles with variations in my journal, starting of course with Crescent Moon.
Great tiles, Jean.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pat.
DeleteLove the way you've done Hamadox. I think it's a fun tangle.
ReplyDeleteI also loved the way you dressed up Neuron with the stars, and did the variations of Crescent Moon. Looks like you have been having fun with tangles this week!!

I always try to have fun with my art, Joyce. I don't think I would do it at all if that were not so :) Pushing tangles is the most fun, for me anyway.
DeleteBeautiful work Jean, as always! I really love your Hamadox :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Ilse!
DeleteStunning artwork and I love the use of colour
ReplyDeleteLove Chrissie xx
Thank you Chrissie :)
DeleteGreat tiles Jean, and I love what you did with Hamadox. The tan tile with the pink is an awesome combo. Thanks for playing with hamadox,
ReplyDeleteIt must be soooo much fun to see what other people do with your own creation. I enjoyed working with this one. I was fascinated to see how it morphs right into the Paradox. Great tangle!
DeleteI really love your Diva Challenge Hamadox tile. It looks great in those colors with the pink on the tan tile. And your Florz looks like the diamond shapes are popping right off the page. I've never seen that before. What a great idea. I actually had to look up Neuron. I haven't used it in awhile and couldn't remember the little circles. Ahhh, yes. I love the stars in there. Another great idea. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing your journal and what you're doing with it. I was saying last week that I couldn't keep up a journal and now I have to take that back. I try out all the tangles in a sketch book before I try them on a tile. I've been doing this since I started tangling, with every page dated and sometimes I'll even put comments about the tangles and my ability or inability to do them. Of course I miss lots of days, but I've got about 4 different sketch books full of things I've tried out. Sooooooo, I guess I have been keeping a journal. LOL
Thanks for all your inspiration.
It is interesting how a journal can be so many things for different people and for different uses, Melena. Yes, you can definitely say you have been keeping a journal. They're not necessarily for sharing with others. The only reason I'm sharing is to force me to continue to do it, LOL!
DeleteHamadox is soooo beautiful on this tile and with those colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annemarie!
DeleteVery pretty Diva tile. I also like your journal tiles - gotta love Crescent Moon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Miss L. Crescent Moon certainly does have a lot of different ways to incorporate it into a tile for sure!
DeleteReally loving the pink Hamadox, Jean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue!
DeleteWonderful Hamadox tile wirh marvelous color - I love it :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gudrun!
DeleteHamadox looks beautiful in that colour on Florz, very nice Jean and so is also your use of the stars together with Neuron.
ReplyDeleteHaving a scetchbook to variate and play with tangles can be very usefull and nice too, I like your Crescent Moon "exercices" very much.
Thank you, Ria. I thought it was about time I did something a bit more "professional" than all the scraps of paper floating about, LOL!
DeleteJean, Nice tile with Hamadox and florz. Like a lot have been saying about it that it pops right out from the paper is so true. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI think, Duane, that adding that tiny bit of white to the upper corner helped a lot in making Florz pop. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteLovely tiles! I love the pink with Hamadox and Florz. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Dragonfly!
DeleteJean, Love! Love! The diva tile. Awesome colors too! I learned a new tangle, hadn't seen Neuron before, so off to check that out. Your journal entry is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kate. You will find that the "real" Neuron is quite different from mine but probably a bit easier too!
DeleteEverything..wauwwwwww
ReplyDeleteThanks for your enthusiastic comment, Carmela!
DeleteI just love that pink Hamadox! I do enjoy getting back to basics. Thanks for sharing your journal page.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michele. Yes, we all need to go back once in a while to review the basics and see how much more they can do than we originally thought when we first learned them.
DeleteYour diva tile is so beautiful, I love the pink on tan. And your journal page is very helpful to see possible variations to a pattern. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy seeing color on the tan tiles, Heike. It always seems to be a surprise. Thank you!
DeleteLove the color in your challenge tile. The white highlights really add to the overall look. I went with a simple background as well. I thought about Florz and decided to go a different direction.
ReplyDeleteI think that many of us thought this tangle was just too pretty to add much more than a simple background, Donald. I thought your tile was wonderful. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI love your pink Hamadox Jean! Very cute! Terrific other tiles too!
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much, Deanne!
DeleteI like your tile with Hamadox! Simple but pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour tiles are always so lovely, Jean! This week is definitely not an exception! It's nice to see your exploration in your journal as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Holly!
DeleteLovely tiles!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan :)
DeleteThese are all lovely, but I really appreciate the Diva tile. Sooooo soft and swirly. The colored pencil background, the highlights all make it feel as light as dust!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful descriptive way to say something, Jennifer. It brought back memories of watching dust twinkle in a sun ray!
