Diva Challenge #87

Haven't done a Diva Challenge in a while!  I was away at camp this week with 115 Grade 7 & 8 students, so when I needed a little downtime, tangling was the answer!  I did a basic pinwheel design, and I'm also posting one of the other tiles that I did while I was there.

Zendala Dare #23 & Paper

This week, Erin told us in her blog, The Bright Owl, that the Friday Dares will be moved to Saturdays.  I'm quite happy about that - I have time on the weekends to do these, and am usually zonked by Friday night! I really liked this week's template and found it to be a lot of fun!

Meer, Onamato, Paradox, Tipple

I also wanted to share a piece that I did last night, using an app on my iPad (Paper) - it's actually just the string that was done on the iPad, then I transferred the jpg of the string to my laptop & printed it. From there, I tangled it & voila!  Neat use of an app - thanks to my boyfriend for suggesting it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Zendala Dare #20

I loved this week's zendala dare!  The template was layered, so I tried to give a layered look to my final product - I think it worked out alright :)  Thanks to Erin for all of her efforts in providing us with awesome templates, week after week!

Paradox, Hibred, Cadent, Hi-C, Tipple, Puf, Angel Fish

Zendala Dare #19

Not too chatty today - had a brutal sleep last night (in that I didn't sleep at all), so now I have a crushing headache :(  Nonetheless, I had to complete my zendala today because I'm away this weekend and I had too many ideas swirling through my head for it!  I liked the boxy shape of this week's dare. I didn't venture out of the box much (no pun intended!), but I still like my zendala - I got to use a lot of my favourite tangles :)

Nipa, Holibaugh, Flux, Paradox, 'Nzeppel, Crescent Moon, Shattuck, Cadent, and Hurry

Diva Challenge #75 - Cadent

Has it really been 5 weeks since my last post?!  It's hard to believe, but this is my first Zentangle tile in weeks.  School's winding down, and being a Grade 8 teacher, this is when things really start to wind up!  Still have a busy 7 days with the kids to go.  I made time to do this tile tonight because I LOVE Cadent - it's one of my favourite tangles, and I haven't used it in a while, so it was nice to reunite myself with it!  I couldn't resist when Laura presented it as this week's "Tanglation Nation" challenge :)

I have to admit, I love the bottom right corner - it reminds me of dragon scales.

I've added another "new" tangle submission - with any luck, this one is ACTUALLY new!!  Check it out!!  Flourish
