I Am The Diva - Weekly ZenTangle Challenge - #27

This week's I Am The Diva Zentangle Weekly Challenge is Number 27 and is titled "Duo-Tangle". It was a real challenge for me because both of the patterns you are supposed to use are ones I have never used. But, I did my best with my first try and I will tell you, it looked better in my head than it came out on paper! So, I decided to give it a try one more time.

Miss Diva?? I have one request - for your awesome slide-show, please use just the two close-ups - Thank You!!

Thank You, Diva, for giving me challenges that are fun and functional :-)  I've enjoyed all I've learned just by taking part in your weekly challenges.

I Am The Diva - Weekly ZenTangle Challenge - #11

The next random Zentangle Challenge I picked from I Am The Diva was Challenge #11 - "Monotangle". We'd just gotten a 4 month old male kitten (his name is Smokey) and he was my inspiration for this particular challenge. I selected Carole Ohl's "Daggerly" for the single tangle to use and no, the irony of daggers with a kitten's claws was not lost on me. For this entry you have the pics of my tangle and a bonus pic of Smokey - enjoy! :-)

Smokey - isn't he handsome?



I Am The Diva - Weekly ZenTangle Challenge - #6

I was having fun just skipping around picking random Zentangle Challenges from I Am The Diva when for my third contribution I decided to pick something a little more difficult - at least to a Tangle-newbie who hasn't had any official training. I picked Challenge #6 - "Ixorus" - and first did a test run on how to do it "correctly" (because really there is no wrong way to do a tangle) and had fun colouring it in before I did the actual tangle to fulfill the challenge. Enjoy!

I Am The Diva - Weekly ZenTangle Challenge - #24

So I've decided that trying to write more in my life wasn't quite enough. I miss the way I used to draw and sketch just for the fun of it so I have chosen to take up the Zentangle weekly challenges from I Am The Diva.
The first Challenge I chose to try was Challenge #24 - String Theory V.II - Stripes - here is my contribution:
