DC 362 Somnee

I really like this little tangle by Laura Harms.  I have a feeling it could be quite flexible.  Since I'm attending a baby shower tomorrow, pastel colors were on my mind.  Decided less was more.

DC 361 Amanda Day

Laura celebrates Amanda Day (otherwise known as Earth Day) every year by challenging her followers to tangle on recycled objects.

My tiles included two sides of the same piece of cardboard which had a grid already printed on one side: 

Definitely has some potential ... and some day I may finish it.  :)  Next I flipped over the above tile and following the Diva's sun and rays string idea, I drew the following:

Next, using a piece of paper cut from an envelope, I tried using layers of tangles for parts of the tile.

Finally, with the help of a tile cut from a National Geographic magazine, I added a few patterns onto the nose of a leopard.  I just realized I can't publish this as my work since in fact the photograph is not mine.  Alas, you will have to use your imagination and you'll have to trust me that the result was actually quite cool.  Next time I photograph a leopard, I will most definitely tangle it!

DC 360 Part 2 - Duotangle Shattuck and Tripoli

Decided to give this challenge a second try.  Still didn't do Tripoli "correctly" but enjoyed the process.

DC 360 Duotangle Tripoli & Shattuck

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this challenge proved to me that you can indeed make a mistake in Zentangle!  Hahaha.  My first tile most definitely found its way to the recycle bin.  I find Tripoli to be challenging ... mostly in the keeping the space between triangles consistent.  I need to practice it more.

DC 359.2 Finger Strings

After completing the first tile, I thought about how I might have completed it differently.  And though I almost never create a second tile, I decided to give it a try.  I started with the background - then tangled the fingers.  When those were done, I decided to add the final bits over the existing tangles.  :)

Diva Challenge 359 Finger String

Using your fingers as a string was the challenge.  Here's mine:

Diva Challenge 358 - Pickpocket

I love this tangle pattern.  My first effort has quite curvy lines.  I reminds me of tree trunks side-hugging one another.

My second effort still highlights pickpocket but also features Yuma and Clob:
