Zentangle Quest Challenge

This week's Diva challenge was to create a tile using Maria Thomas' Zentangle Quest as she explained in her blog. Okay, that will be fun but I also have to get started on my 9 piece curvy string ensemble for next weekend's Tangle U 2013. Here's the ensemble (which will be mixed around and shared with others) using the effect of the Zentangle Quest:

Some tangles are: Whyz, Knightsbridge, Leaflet, Echoism, Henna Drum, Tipple, Shattuck, Ammon, Purk (I can't remember them all)

Sorry that its not a great picture, but I couldn't scan it due to the size. Try clicking on it to enlarge it.

I taught a Zentangle Workshop to a group of educators yesterday at the Southern Vermont Educators Symposium at Maple Street School in Manchester. I had a wonderful time and here's the group tile picture:




A couple of weeks ago I taught a newcomer to our town. She did a super job with her tangling. Great job, Lola!



I sure do love teaching and I sure do love Zentangle. Lucky me that I get to combine the two!

A Zinger

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, for those of you living in the US of A. I was very happy to cook Thanksgiving dinner for my family (husband, both sons, sister and brother-in-law) and I'm very thankful for the gathering and the help in the kitchen. I'm also thankful for my extended family, friends, my job, our art gallery (even though we have so many floods, including two this week), and Zentangle!!!

This week's challenge was to use Maria's Zinger. I've always enjoyed throwing in a zinger now and again. This time I also used Waft by Bessamy Snoderly, Purk by Rick & Maria, a version of Lotus Pods by Margaret Bremner, and a design I found on an African dress in a giving catalog. I do like it a lot and shall call the pattern Giveagoat. Watch the blog for step outs later on.

Last week I taught a class at Black River High School to some teachers. It was a great group and they did an awesome job! Here's their work: Nice job, ladies!

Have a great week. Hope you come back next week.

Challenge #85

The Diva Challenge #85 is to create a tile trying out Copada designed by Margaret Bremner, CZT.  I also used Camelia, Zedbra, Purk, Flux and Hazen.

I kind of got lost in my Camelia pattern and didn't quite get it, but close. Actually, I kind of like it the way it is. I'll give it another try later.

Have a great rest of the week!
