Tangle within a tangle

The Diva's  Weekly Challenge #252: "String Theory: Tangle within a tangle... it's like inception... but with tangles"

Arukas was the 1st tangle I thought of for tangling within a tangle plus I could slip in a little gem!

Beate's New Book

This week I have been happily playing with some nifty tangles from Beate Winkler's new book.
It's her third book "Zentangle - Inspired and relaxed drawing" You can find it here at Bea Bea Designs. Beate has gathered her friends from all over the world to share their tangles and thoughts.
Wishing that I could understand German though and enjoy reading the thoughts and tips but the step outs are easy to follow and with 160 pages the book is chock a block full of splendid tangles and tutorials.

Thank you Beate for your inspiring book!

2016

What is in the stars for 2016?

This year if I feel as though I'm running around in circles, I'm going to stop and remind myself how sparkly my life is. I will find a gem in everyday to be grateful for. There will be star moments to treasure, festivities to celebrate and seeds of joy to gather and sow. Yes, there will be times of dark and shade to cope with, that's life. My wish is to be able to adjust the shading so life becomes lighter and brighter at dullish times.

No doubt there will be days suited for plain beads, days for snazzy beads, days for shiny gems, there will be dark nights and sparkly starry nights!

May your year be light and bright and wear your beads with style and a smile.
