Zendala Dare #48

A second entry for today - this is my submission for The Bright Owl's Zendala Dare #48.  I loved this template, but was totally at a loss for what to do in some of the spaces!

Verve, Shattuck, Rain

Diva Challenge #89 & Celtic Challenge #7

Hm.  I started the Diva challenge, and I liked what I was seeing (rain - one of my new faves).... then I realized I'd coloured the whole tangle in sepia!  Of course, then I had to finish it in sepia.... and I have to admit that I don't love it.  That, and I found the tangle this week really tough, so I ended up cutting it off before I mucked up the bottom part of my tile. Erg!  I still ended up with a tile that I like, I just wish it had been in black ink!

Flux, Rain, Sankegg, Printemps, Hollibaugh

And, I did the Celtic Challenge on the weekend, and have been contemplating how to colour it for a few days.... and then I did colour it and remembered why I like Zentangle... black and white is my friend :) It's not that I don't like it with colour, but I just don't have the flair for the colours.... and choosing colours is tough! 

Paradox, Bales

Zendala Dare #25

Another Zendala Dare!  I loved this template - the varying sizes of the pie slices gave it endless possibilities.  I used some favourites, and as I was completing this zendala, I realized that I really need to branch out!  My goal for next week is to use at least 2 patterns I haven't used in the last few months.  It's not like I don't know any other ones :)

Auraknot, Striping, Dragonair, Rain, Tipple

I also played a little with the "tornado" pattern that has been making its way around.  A great activity - here's a link showing how to do it: Tornado Line Design
