Zentangle® a Diva Challenge, an Inchie, and ANOTHER New Blog!

The Diva has come up with another wonderful tangle, yet to be named, that we got to play with for this week's UMT (Use my Tangle) #166. It is simple, yet it has so many possibilities. Hop over to her blog and give it a try. I think you will like it.








The Inchie gave me a bit more difficulty as I really enjoy searching for something no one else will think of. Often I am surprised at how many think like I :) Anyway, the prompt for this week was Indigo. Well, it certainly is a lovely color, but I was looking further and found that there is such a thing as "Indigo Children". I wound up down a rabbit hole (which happens to me way too often) and by the time I looked up, hours had passed and I had learned about something new. This isn't for everyone, I suppose, but I found it interesting.

And a couple of tangles I did while I was giving a demo at Hobby Lobby last Friday:
Camelia in grid.

Tan tile that I cut of my own paper done with Sepia pen, white gel pen, white charcoal, and the reddish is a Pitt Pastel pencil. As you may know, last week I played with Camelia without the grid but I decided I should play nice and give the grid a chance. I actually like it this way and I am surprised. What a versatile tangle it is.
Mooka, Jetties, Fescu, Zinger









 Another on my own tan paper with the same shading.
Quib, Squid, Footlights, Dex, Rain, Tipple









Back to our roots on this one. I actually used a string (Hollibaugh) and I don't usually use a string as I find them a bit choppy looking sometimes. (At least when I do them LOL!)












Thanks for stopping by. Please take a peek at my two new blogs. One for my Copics and color work: http://tanglestreetcolorway.blogspot.com/
and one for my Art Journaling: http://tanglestreetjournals.blogspot.com/

Both have tabs, as does this blog, to make it easy for you to hop back and forth. I love all the comments you leave. It makes me so happy, and thank you all :)

Zentangle® Challenge, Inchie, New Blog Announcement

I have found blogging a challenge when I try to use the pages. They just don't work the way I like; therefore, I have set up a second blog so that those of you who are interested in my Copic marker work and other colorful journeys may do so. Right now, I only have one more blog but intend to make it three so that I will have one for art journaling also. You will always find the links on the top bar of this blog and you can always come back from the tabs on the top of the new blog. My new blog is called TangleStreetColorway. Please take a look and let me know what you think. (This blog is not leaving. I LOVE my Zentangles!)

Back to what you stopped by for! This week, the Diva challenged us to use Anne Mark's tangle pattern, Camelia. It was to be used in a grid, but grids kind of aren't my style, so I set it free. I really liked it in the same way I like Henna Drum. I can't wait to see some of these done by people who can really make things flow. They will be beautiful. (I wait to look until I am posted.)



Every Inchie Monday's prompt was the word "implausible". Now, that's really going to be fun to see what people came up with!
