Zentangle® Tripoli, Crezendo, Marguerite, and an Inchie

The challenge from Laura at I am the Diva is to do a monotangle of Tripoli. I did mine on a Renaissance tile and used some Stabilo CarbOthello pastel pencils.

The focus tangle for Square One, Facebook is Crezendo by Pam Hurtz Miller, CZT. I added Marguerite by Sharon Paz.

And the prompt word for Every Inchie Monday is "Sky". Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Comes from the song.... First one that knows the answer is the first one!

Zentangle® Tripoli, Paradox, and an Inchie

The Diva Challenge this week was to use Tripoli. I thought I would play with more of the Sharpie pens and added some colored pencils and Stabilo Carbothello soft pencils.

Square One on Facebook had a focus tangle of Paradox to which I added Lichen by Jennifer Hohensteiner.

And, over at Every Inchie Monday, the prompt word was Exotic. Exotic means not native or out of the ordinary. My research led me to find out more about how dangerous it is to the environment when non-native species of plants or animals are added where they don't belong. They can truly disrupt the systems, like the invasion of garlic mustard!

Thank you for stopping by. I always enjoy reading your comments!

Zentangle® some Star Wars, and Can a Leopard Change His Spots?

The Diva Challenge, #216 was a UMT (Use my Tangle), by Bunny Wright called Brella. This was a fun tangle and it uses a grid. Why R2D2 you may ask? Well, because it is "May the 4th, be with you always", of course :) I love that my four boys and Laura's two share this same love. Star Wars came out in 1977. My two older boys were 9 and 5. I can still remember how we sat in awe as that ship came toward us! I did buy my oldest son a copy of the very first Star Wars comic book and carefully wrapped it up so that he could save it and pass it on to his grandchildren so they could be independently wealthy. Does anyone know where it is now? LOL

I used Brella, Bertweed, Hibred, Crescent Moon, and one lonely Printemps.

Facebook's, Square One, asked us to use Tripoli. I added Crescent Moon, Betweed, Paradox, Tipple, and Hollibaugh.

Every Inchie Monday had a prompt word of "leopard". Well, maybe a leopard can't change his spots, but I don't think I really believe that a person can't change who they are. A lot of the negative things we attribute to people has been created from fear. Take that away and I do believe that a leopard might just be able to change his spots.
