Zentangle Diva’s Challenge #208 – Bon Voyage Edition

Zentangle Diva's Weekly Challenge ##208

(Start here if you don’t have a clue what Zentangle is.)

Snowmageddon, Boston winter snow piles

The street where our dog will be living. If this is the remnants of the Boston area Snowmageddon, I can’t imagine what life was like before there was some melting.

In two days we leave for our 3 week trip to Turkey and Israel. I hope I’m actually closer to being ready to leave than I feel. I spent the weekend delivering our dog, Dino, to my sisters-in-law in Cambridge, Massachusetts (part of the Boston metro area). They have graciously agreed to keep him again until mid-June because this is the first of four trips that will have me away from hearth and home. (Actually, we live in a rental apartment with no hearth, but you get the idea). I’m actually glad I had the opportunity to see the remnants of the infamous Snowmaggedon that buried the Boston area this winter. It was pretty impressive.

I told myself I wasn’t going to look at the Zentangle Diva’s challenge for this week, because I don’t really have time to work on it. But then I saw that Laura’s challenge was to use two of my favorite tangles (Pokeberry and Cubine) in a Duotangle and my best intentions evaporated. So, I may forget to suspend our newspaper delivery, but here’s my duotangle. (It is done on a Zentangle 3.5 inche by 3.5 inch tile, but because of the color, it would properly be considered a ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art):

Zentangle Diva’s Challenge # 208 – Duotangle using Pokeberry and Cubine

If, as it is for me, travel is one of your other passions, you may want to check out my blog post about our recent Caribbean cruise. It contains a bonus for tanglers.

Do you even find yourself working on a Zentangle when you should be doing something else?

The use of colour really makes this stand out, Suzanne, I do like it. And ave you noticed, those jobs do always get done, even if it’s by the skin of your teeth! Have a good trip and tell us all about it when you get back.

The three-dimensional colored squares are cool but I like the inverted “bulbs” (?) the best! You sure have gotten good at this, Suzanne! 🙂

Love your tile with the inclusion of the color and the way it draws your eye up. I also like the two different treatments of Pokeroot. The mannequin in your other blog post was also great. The first picture also looks like it might have an interesting tangle deconstruction in there.

Sometimes you just have to stop with the craziness and do a little tangling. It sure puts things into perspective and is refreshing. I love the colors you added to this festive piece. Enjoy your trip!

Oh…wow…four weeks? You have some serious travel blogging to do! Looking forward to reading all about it. LOVE your creation…sometimes hard to resist the color, ( i am the same way). I think cubine is very effective in tangleations and love how yours undulates. Travel safe!

Suzanne, love the color! Great job!
Safe travels; I suspect just negotiating Boston was a thrill-a-minute!
Have a brilliant day! c

Love all the color! it’s eye popping, and then the contrast/negative effect you created with your two versions of pokeroot. Kewl!

Is fun to throw in color every once in a while. It does add to this tile. Have fun on you travels and also have fun at your CZT seminar.

Wow… You sure have some busy FUN times ahead of you! I’m glad you were able to squeak out a little time for the challenge! Your Poke Root and Cubine are so wonderfully drawn. I like your addition of color as well. It looks like spring!
