Zentangle® Dansk, Verve, Showgirl, and Dew Drops
I was so pleased to see CZT Margaret Bremner's Dansk pop up on I am the Diva for this week's challenge. I immediately thought of Verve for the centers and built up from there. Of course, I had to criss-cross rather than go under each one. I used a die cut from Stampin Up to create the shape for filling.
I used Polychromos colored pencils for the darker blues and a pastel pencil for shading.

Thanks for stopping by. I do enjoy your comments.

Again very busy and nice work. I love your Showgirl!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carmela. I enjoyed using Showgirl. It was one of those pretty tangles that I had forgotten about.
DeleteI love all three of your tiles, but the middle one, using Showgirl as bunches of flowers with a Quib hanging basket? Wowzers!! Absolutely stunning, and quite frankly, I am going to try to copy it, lol.
ReplyDeleteJoyceB.
LOL, Joyce! Copy away. That makes me smile :)
DeleteThe tile for Diva's challenge reveals a lot of creativity! Love the bli accents there!💕
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anita. Always on the lookout for a way to change up things!
DeleteSuch gorgeous work! I love all three tiles.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Cathy, and thanks for the visit :)
DeleteGreat Diva tile Jean. I love that shape you used for drawing Dansk and using Verve in the "eye" was a great idea. I like the criss-crossing of the lines too. That worked out really well. I like how you used Quib with Showgirl - it is so pretty. And the Dew Drop is great. It really sets off the whole tile. I love the idea, but it is a hard one for me. I guess it's time to practice it more LOL. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIf I remember right, Melena, there is a tutorial for Dew Drops from Sandra Strait on the TanglePatterns.com site. That's how I learned many years ago. Do try it again.
DeleteSo beautiful! Love Verve as the centerpiece to Dansk! Also really impressed with your dew drops. I haven't been able to master them (yet) - you have me inspired!
ReplyDeleteCari, see the reply above. Sandra makes it fairly easy. It is intimidating at first though.
DeleteKeep at it Jean you are showing promise!/end sarcastic. Dang Jean great work as usual running off to practice more now :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, Trudy! Such a big smile is on my face right now. You are so sweet! Thank you :)
DeleteGreat Diva composition! And I admire how you've managed to combine Showgirl and Quib, Wow!
ReplyDeleteQuib was the new tangle that was introduced when I went for my CZT training four years ago. I really should use it more. Thanks for your kindness, Ilse.
DeleteJean, all your tiles are so different to each other and I love the Dansk idea of a tangle in a tangle. Your Showgirl is brill. I haven't mastered that one yet.
ReplyDeleteChrissie, I didn't get a good flow with Showgirl the first go around either. It's kind of like Mooka was for me. It took a few spins before it began to flow.
DeleteGorgeous work Jean! I love that Diva tile;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Michele!
DeleteYour tiles are wonderful :-))
ReplyDeleteGudrun S.
Thank you for your kind words, Gudrun!
DeleteNice variation of Dansk. I like your Showgirl tile. Looks very floral.
ReplyDeleteI do like tangles that are floral in design, Donald. This is a great one for that.
DeleteQuite a spin on dansk, I almost didn't 'see' it, which is absolutely great. And now quib with the showgirls has finally a purpose: pole dancing. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWell, Susie, maybe it really isn't Dansk? Sometimes I play with tangles to the point that they are not quite recognizable. But, that's my favorite thing to do with tangles. HaHa, pole dancing. Love it!
DeleteJean, all of your tiles are very nicely done. I absolutely LOVE your Diva Challenge tile and the Showgirl with Quib is such a fun idea! The dew drops are beautifully done as well. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much, Lezli. I so enjoy sharing with our caring community!
