Zentangle® Some Gems, Yuma, and an Inchie

If you are here for The Diva Challenge, Laura will post tomorrow, so do check back. Instead, I thought I'd share a "gem" tile. I used colored pencils for this. The tangles are Hollibaugh and C-Scape.

Square One, Facebook, focus tangle is Yuma by Tina Hunzirer.

And. Every Inchie Monday has a prompt word of Spaceship. When I was young my brother always made us watch Buck Rogers. Did you know that a rocket, which is what Buck traveled in, should have been called a spaceship? A rocket does not carry people. But, Buck nor I knew that. So, in my backyard was an old peach tree that was being propped up with an old broken limb. Perfect for a small child to sit on. In the crook, I kept a black and square smooth stone. This was my communicator. Many happy hours were spent traveling the universe in my rocketship, or more properly "spaceship". 


Thank you for stopping by. I hope to see you again tomorrow for the Diva's Challenge as well. I do enjoy reading your comments, and appreciate all of you who continue to encourage my efforts!

Zentangle® Yuma and Fengle, and Inchie, and an Apology (of sorts)

The Diva Challenge for this week was a UMT (Use My Tangle) from Tina (AKUA), called YUMA.  I went with a tan tile and added sepia and white chalk.

The Facebook challenge this week was to use Fengle. I stayed traditional with the first and let the second one grow out of itself and added a few black pearlz.
  
 For Every Inchie Monday, the prompt was "Ungual", meaning claws. This time of the year, this is what I saw. Can you tell what it is?
 

Carpet Pattern from The Orleans Hotel

 And, finally, a bit of an apology. My hubby and I have been out of town for a bit. We took a trip up to Las Vegas to visit our friends. We had a lovely time and I came home three pounds heavier and I found all kinds of wonderful tangles in the wild, like this one which is the carpet in The Orleans Hotel! I apologize because I am way behind in all my normal daily activities, one of which is to try to leave comments on all of your lovely blogs. Probably isn't going to happen for last week and maybe not even for this week as much as I LOVE to see what you all do. I sure will try though :)

My friend took me to a lot of fun places. This is part of a wonderful display at the Bellagio. There were tons of beautiful flowers, but this is the guy who stole my heart.

I'll be back on track after this week..... I hope :)
