Diva Challenge 321: Non-dominant Hand + Auras

This was a challenging challenge!  I was prepared for the fact that the lines would be wiggly rather than straight.  What I was not prepared for was how difficult it would be to keep the pencil in my left hand.  I kept wanting to use my right hand - so much so that it felt almost physically uncomfortable (and not "relaxing").  On a positive note, I found that moving my arm as a unit was more controllable than just moving at the fingers or wrist.  All in all I found it to be an interesting experience and I wonder how this exercises the brain.

DC 319 Beads of Courage

Laura and her family have participated in a 5K Colour Fun Run to raise money for the Beads of Courage program in Saskatchewan.  Read more on Laura's blog http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/.  Our challenge is to create a tile using Beads of Courage as a theme.

While thinking of the kids who are collecting beads for medical procedures I began thinking of how one could illustrate "courage." It's not exactly an easy task.  I thought a heart might work, but then I began thinking of all the words that courage represents.  So I decided to write these words on the beads of my tile.

The other night I woke up thinking about drawing a tile with spaghetti like lines with little red dots.  Here's the result:  

And finally, a "hinged" set of bijou tiles.
