What great timing! I had being playing around with this Opus tile and wondering which tangle to do next when up pops The Diva's challenge with Daniel's delightful dreamcatcher.

Straight to It

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #286: "Straight to It"

Actually I don't get excited about straight lines but I like the tangle IX and thought it was fun the way a circle popped into it with shading.

Relax

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #285: "Relax, bro."

The Diva asks us to tangle like no-one is watching, relax, no plans. I had actually just finished fife for our Facebook group Square One: Purely Zentangle, felt relaxed and with thoughts of just playing with more fife. The house was quiet so I could hear the magpies out in the garden and with spring sunshine beaming through my window fife grew and grew, blossomed and flourished.

Purky Purk

A couple of weeks ago I enjoyed 2 days in Hobart at the Annual Rotary Art Show demonstrating Zentangle. I chose purk to feature on each tile and just see where they ended up and to show the easiness of a nice loopy string.
Here are five of my favourite tiles from the weekend.

purk and drupe


purk with twing, printemps and crescent moon

purk, twing,marasu, mooka and quabog

Tripoli

The Diva's   Weekly Challenge #284: "Monotangle to Tripoli"

Tripoli is one of my favourite tangles and I wanted to experiment with stripes but to get all the stripes to fit in and stay vertical in the triangle just doesn't work but I like the way parts float off and then merge back together. 


 
Once my monotangle was finished I decided to add some betweed and turn it into a duotangle.

Art Yoga Retreat

 
 
 
Something to think about for Tanglers in Tasmania.
11th -13th November
Maria Island in springtime....that's a treat. Fresh air. Sunshine.
Suzie's nourishing food and the peaceful setting is the best way to relax and be inspired to create something special.
I am really looking forward to this weekend.
