Diva Challenge 273: Remix!

Our challenge this week was to take an old tile that maybe needed a little Ooomph, remix it (by adding to the tile) and voilla - #273 is complete!

Here's my old tile.  Indeed it is old - from July 2011 - only a month after I first discovered Zentangle. It was my (rather sad) attempt at Mooka.

It sat in the box - definitely unfinished and I really never had a clue of what to do with the poor thing, but this Remix Challenge spurred me on ... to just go for it.  So I added the new tangle "Funsin" by Yu Ru Chen (introduced on 6/27/16 by TanglePatterns.com) as well as a few other bits.  Here's the result.

Happy tangling!

Diva Challenge 273

The challenge this week was to use black and white and red.  I decided to start with some red scribbles and here's where I ended up.  Think it would have gone better if I'd worked a pattern into the scribble, but that idea had to be put on hold.  My son got married yesterday (6/25/16) and I've been a little busy.  (It was a great day ... Perfect except for the heat.)

EIM Ghastly

"Ghastly" was the word of the week for Every Inchie Monday.  What a difficult word to illustrate!  I finally settled on how one might look like if you came upon a ghastly scene.  Here you go:

Have a great week everyone!

DC 270 and EIM Robot

The Diva Challenge was to use the tangle Skye.  NOT EASY.  (Emphasizing, not yelling.)  Still, I love it, and hope to use it again.  Added the tangle Mac.ra.me to increase the tangled feeling.

This week's Inchie challenge was "robot."  This word brings to mind many images and other related thoughts.  Particularly unpleasant are the robots (computers) that begin acting on their own behalf.  They can get downright scary!  One exception might be Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons.   (Remember her?)  She did tend to do things her own way, but usually with good intentions.  I'm afraid this rendition looks a little scary, however.  :)

Diva Challenge 269 and EIM Button

The challenge this week was to use the new tangle Ellish.  I decided to add Molygon to the tile which interestingly enough looked related to Ellish with a few little swirls.  Fun!

I tried to draw buttons that one might sew onto a shirt several times, but was unsatisfied with the result ... so, I switched to the keyboard instead.  It's probably not called an ENTER button, but it's just going to have to do this week.  :)

Diva Challenge 268 and Inchie 3D

Use "a-bit-o-black" was the challenge by Diva Laura this week - which meant to use a little more black than you might usually do.  This challenge coupled with the fact that I'd read about "rounding" for the first time made me think about combining both ideas into my tile this week.  So here it is, Rick's Paradox rounded a bit with definitely more black than I would usually use.  (I'm not altogether certain I did the rounding correctly, but I rather like the result.)

 Next the Every Inchie Monday word of the week is 3D.  Here are my offerings:

Have a wonderful week everyone!

DC 267 and EIM Brain

This week's Diva Challenge was to create a duo-tangle using Pokeroot and Drupe.  Here's my offering.  Not my favorite effort ... thinking it needed more dark, but I'm not sure I wish to invest the ink!  Nevertheless, it is done and it isn't even Friday.  YAY.

While thinking about the Every Inchie Monday theme for this week "brain" I'd planned to draw the gray matter version.  But, when I searched for images to use for inspiration, I decided a brain scan would be more fun - and certainly more colorful!
