DC 294

The challenge is to use the Zentangle folks' Reticula & Fragment tangling elements.  Unfortunately, I have not seen their book, so I used the Diva's example as a starting place.  Here's mine:

The fun part about this was that at every step I thought it might make a good stopping place.  From here, I could definitely add shading and maybe "stripe" some of the lines.  I want to learn more.

EIM Clouds and Diva Challenge 292

 "Clouds" is the Every Inchie Monday word of the week.  One of the delightful things about clouds is that there are so many different kinds.  Some are white and puffy and share the sky with sunshine.

while others are dark and ominous and stormy.

To me, they are all beautiful!!

The Diva Challenge this week is a UMT (Use My Tangle) with the featured pattern being EAXY.  I found the tangle to be quite challenging and really messed it up (top, right), but remembering that there are no mistakes in Zentangle, I decided to make it work by adding more lines and a little color.  And, just for fun, I punched a little star into one corner.
