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:

Diva Challenge 357: Paradox

Paradox is one of my favorite patterns for sure.  It is beautiful as a single piece, but when several are combined, there is a real surprise element.  I decided to try something just a little different ... by drawing paradox behind. 

DC 356 "What's in a Name" String

This week's Diva challenge required us to use our name or another word as the string that divides the tile.  Here's my "melissa."
