Diva Challenge and more

Hello together,

this week we should tangle stripes for the Diva Challenge #265. I used Crescent Moon, Cubine, Natti, Flaura, Tipple, Shattuck and Msst.

The last few weeks  I didn't find the time for posting.  So now I want to show you the tiles that I tangled during this time.

For It's a String Thing #140

For It's a String Thing #141

And for It's a String Thing #142

I also find the wonderful little tangle project by Sabrina Stein, CZT.  

I asked if I could participate and she sent me the "unfinished" zendala that is the template and that you can find here on her blog.

It was very relaxing to tangle around the gems and this is what I did with it.

For highlighting the beautyful gems I edited the photo a bit.

Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments.

Diva & Mosaic

Hello together,

this week we should use the tangle "Fassett" by Lynn Mean for the Diva Challenge #262. I created a monotangle with two tanglations of the pattern and string 007.

Also the Tangle-Mosaic-Project #2 is finished now. I told about it before here on the blog. Annette was again so creative and created two wonderful mosaics of my tiles that I absolutely want to show you.

Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments.

(Tw)Inchies

Hello together,

I missed again two weeks of EIM. Nevertheless I wanted to draw the challenges. So here are my Inchies for week 12 "Door" and week 13 "Peanuts".

EIM "Door"

EIM "Peanuts"

The theme for this week's Every Inchie Monday - challenge is "Grandmother". In my life there is always a grandfather with the grandmother.  So I drew grandma and grandpa sitting in the garden for tea.

For the Two by Two by Tuesday twinchie challenge the theme this week was "Orange".

I wanted to draw something special but nothing came to my mind. So I just started drawing and this is the result.

Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments.

My weekly tiles

Hello together,

This week the Diva Challenge #261 "Stacked Bijou Challenge" is presented by guest blogger Jane Reiter, CZT. It tooks a lot of time to draw the six tiles but the result is so great. I played a bit with the tiles and tried different variations of stacking them.
These are the tiles I drawed:

Here are some stacking versions:

But this is my favorite version:

This was a really interesting challenge. Thank you, Jane.

For It's a String Thing #138 we should use Adele's new tangle Citrus. I decided to draw two tanglations of Citrus in the corners of my tile and use it as the string for Tipple, Crescent Moon and Tripoli in the centre.
Citrus is a wonderful pattern and there are so many possibilities to use it.

And last but not least a tile just for fun. I used a black tile and my Gelly Roll Moonlight pens to draw a monotangle of my new pattern Loopy Blossom. 

Here you can see it under blacklight

Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments.

Happy Easter & IAST

Hello together,

Because it's the Easter weekend Adele gave us a string that looks like a egg for It's a String Thing #137. I love this string and had immediately an idea how to fill it. Because it's Easter and the egg should be a real Easter egg I added a bit of colour to my tile. The patterns we should use are Mel Mel by Adele Bruno, Zenith and Warped Eggs.

I wish you all a great and happy Easter weekend.

Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments.

Tangle-Mosaik-Projekt by Lonetta

Hello together,

Annette started a great project at her blog: the Tangle-Mosaic-Project. She created a string that everyone who wants to take part can tangle with patterns he likes and Annette created a mosaic with this tiles.
The results from the first project you can see here.
My tiles for this project are these:

Annette made two great variations of a mosaic with my tiles. 

The Tangle-Mosaic-Project #2 is now to find here and you can still submit your tile by 30th March 2016.

I created two tiles. With the first I was not satisfied so I started a second with the patterns Tipple, Fescu, Shattuck, Henna Drums and Crescent Moon.

After finishing this I decided to give the first tile a second try and also finished it. It's not so good like the other one I find but I used my new patterns Flaura and Loopy Blossom for it. I also used Knightsbridge and Flux.

Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments.

mail from USA & IAST

Hello together,

last week I got mail from the USA two times. I am from Germany so this is a great thing for me. The first was an envelope I was still waiting for for 8 weeks.  It was from Adele Bruno. In January I tangled the "tile of honors" for It's a String Thing #127 (see my post here). For this she send me a "certificate" I am very proud of.

The second envelope was the new book by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, the "Zentangle PRIMER Vol.  1". I was sooooo happy when I had this book in my hands. 

And there was another great moment when I read the new challenge for this week's It's a String Thing . March, 14th was Pi-Day and Adele based the challenge on this. You must know I am a great fan of Pi. It's my so called favorite number so I absolutely had to do this challenge. 

When I learned about Pi in class 8 at school I was immediately fascinated by it and learned 200 digits after the comma by heart. That could sound a bit crazy to some people but I found it great. Meantime I don't know 200 but still 35 digits by heart. That's why I really wanted to do this challenge and tried to do well. 

After taking this photo I further had an idea. I wrote the digits of Pi as a frame around the tile. I didn't know all this digits by heart but I always have a sheet of paper with about 2500 digits in my purse (another crazy thing of mine).

Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments.
