Zentangle Diva’s Challenge #259 – Saint Patrick and Ireland Edition

March 14, 2016 17 comments

green Ring of Kerry, Ireland

This week, the Zentangle Diva challenged us to tip our tangling hats to Saint Patrick. I rather unimaginatively based mine around a 4 leaf clover, only to then look it up and discover that 4 leaf clovers have nothing to do with Saint Patrick nor Ireland. Oops. It turns out, I should have unimaginatively based […]

Zentangle Diva Challenge #258 – Travel Fatigue Edition

March 8, 2016 19 comments

The Zentangle Diva, Laura Harms, posted a brief note Monday morning, explaining that the Monday challenge would be delayed until Tuesday as she was exhausted from her trip returning to Saskatoon from Ottawa. Like the United States, Canada is a big country, stretching “from sea to shining sea” and Saskatoon is 2367 kilometers (1471 miles) […]

Aloha – A New Hawaii Inspired Boomeresque Tangle

March 7, 2016 30 comments

Updated August 4, 2017. In my response to the Zentangle Diva’s challenge number 257, I used a tangle inspired by a pattern I saw on a recent trip to Hawaii. Several people who commented on my blog post suggested/requested that I do the step outs for the pattern. Since the wishes of my faithful readers […]

Zentangle Diva Challenges ##256 and 257 – Catching Up After a Trip to Hawaii Edition

February 29, 2016 25 comments

[If Zentangle is a new concept for you, I’d suggest starting with this post, explaining the Zentangle method and copping to my Zentangle addiction.] I missed posting my response to a Zentangle Diva’s weekly challenge for the first time last week. In my defense, we were traveling in Hawaii (the islands of Maui and Oahu), […]

View from the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa, Maui, Hawaii with the island of Lanai in the distance

[If you need an introduction to Zentangle, start here.] On Monday, I looked in vain for the usual Monday Zentangle Diva’s challenge, but this week’s challenge was posted on Tuesday because Monday was a holiday (Family Day) in Saskatchewan, Canada. It was also a holiday in the United States (President’s Day) and a loooong travel […]

Zentangle inspired Art

[If you need an introduction to Zentangle®, start here.} In anticipation of upcoming Valentine’s Day, the Zentangle Diva’s challenge this week is to produce a tangled Valentine’s inspired tile. I have this perhaps sappy belief that we should celebrate Valentine’s Day everyday — that if we have been fortunate enough to have found a true […]

Zentangle Diva Challenge #253 – Oops, Jumped the Gun on Molygon Edition

February 1, 2016 27 comments

This week the Zentangle Diva challenged us to use the new official tangle, Molygon, in a tile. Oops. I did that last week for the “tangle within a tangle” challenge because I didn’t realize that Molygon had only been shared with Certified Zentangle Teachers at that point. So, to change things up a little, this time I […]

Rittenhouse Square snowman.

[In the mood for some mind travel? Try Zentangle®.] I’m writing this two days after the Blizzard of 2016 dropped up to 31 inches of snow on the Mid-Atlantic states, the most densely populated part of the United States. It’s ironic that in my response to last week’s challenge, I indulged in complaining about the weather—because […]

Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day logo

[What in heaven’s name is Zentangle?] This week, the Zentangle Diva, Laura Harms, asked us to produce a composition using the Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day logo. The Harms’s younger son was born with this very rare congenital neurological disorder adversely affecting cranial nerves VI and VII which control lateral movement of the face. As with many […]

Zentangle supplies

[Not sure what Zentangle® is? Start here.] Zentangle enthusiasts have a tendency to get all fancy at times and our work verges into Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA). You can check out some of mine on my Zentangle Inspired Art Pinterest board. The desire to engage in ZIA is a boon to art supply stores as […]
