I'm exchanging 12 home made cards with a friend, so this fits right in. Big chunky Huggins filled with Bumper and Opus. I really like the finished effort. :)<br />

And I've just come back from a trip, so I'm WAAAY behind on my spinner (homemade), but I'm definitely going to finish. It's so nice to revisit the "original" zentangles.<br />

Looking at the finished product, I feel like I've let Antonine down. I tried a few different variations, but I'm not really happy with the final tile. I WILL say that I was pretty zen doing them though, so it's still a win.<br />

Fengle and Poke Root. Neither are big favorites of mine, which means this challenge was a challenge. I played around a while and this is the best I could do. I just don't know how to make Poke Root interesting. I look forward to seeing what you guys have come up with. (I never peek before I post.)<br />

<br />
My question to you esteemed CZTs is <b style="background-color: yellow;">how do you choose which tangles to use together</b>? I'm kind of hit and miss on these. My Shattuck shouldn't have been next to Aura Leah. My A-Fog. was too similar to the Diva Dance. Is there a rule of thumb on how to choose <b>which </b>tangles to put adjacent to others? Weight, style, box vs. ribbon vs. organic? I'd love to hear your thoughts.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

It seemed a little flat to me, so I curved it up a bit in a mandala-ish twist. Also used BB and Toodles.<br />

<br />
This week's <a href="http://www.iamthedivaczt.com/2018/10/weekly-challenge-374.html" target="_blank">Diva challenge</a> was to take a blob of paint and fold the paper to make two "tiles". I used some watercolor pencils to start my Halloween tributes. These were a bit more intensive than my usual tiles, and by the end of the second tile, my hand was TIRED! Just means I need a bit more tangling, or maybe a bit more wine :-)<br />
<br />
<b>Top tile:</b> Articulated Molygon, Pendrills, Barber Pole, Indy Rella, Drawings, Gourdgeous, and Quib.<br />
<b>Bottom tile:</b> Purk, Dragonaire, Snails, Zinger, Aquafleur, Swarm, and Myst.<br />

Yes, that was me you heard groaning. I usually dread this challenge. A tile that would have taken 15 minutes, took over an hour. Pretty pleased with the result though. (Zinfandel helped).<br />

Fescue, Meer, Onamato freshwater pearls ;), and W2.<br />

It's more organic that way, yeah?<br />

Totally messed up with stripe right in the middle though, and there really aren't that many orbs, so I took a second swing at it. I'm trying to use tangles that I haven't used before.<br />

All I needed was one long boring meeting and the mystery was solved. What would we do without boring meetings?!!!<br />

This week's <b><a href="http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.ca/2015/03/weekly-challenge-209.html" target="_blank">Diva Challenge</a></b> was to use a touch of green. I had been working on some rocks to scatter about the workplace on Tuesday...<br />

...so I just used the same pattern and tangled it. The gold is really so beautiful in person, but like others have mentioned, it just doesn't scan. Oh well.<br />

I just love the celtic knots, but they're not easy to replicate freehand!<br />
<br />
And <b><a href="http://antoninetangles.blogspot.com/2015/03/ah-st-patricks-day-diva-challenge-209.html" target="_blank">Antonine</a></b> convinced me to try the Zendala Dare at <b><a href="http://thebrightowl.blogspot.com/2015/03/zendala-dare-99.html" target="_blank">Brightowl</a></b>, She's right.

<br />
Sketched it out, and really liked it... then I added the weave. Hmmm... Needs a background, so I added the bubbles. Hmmm... Maybe if I color in the flowers. Ugh.... That's the busiest thing I've ever seen!<br />
<br />
That's one really great thing about computers... the Undo. I know there's no Undo (or mistakes) in Zentangle, but sheesh, I'm feeling a lot of CTRL+Z on this tile.<br />

Since I've been quilling lately, I thought "Why not!"<br />
<br />
Well, what I discovered is that it's a lot easier to draw bisecting lines than it is to quill them. That's probably why not. I thought I'd drafted out something pretty simple, but it still took me two evenings to finish.<br />
<br />
I'm very pleased with the results though. I think it might need a lovely black matt and a shiny red wood frame.<br />

Here's another project I finished last weekend. I just love it when a project turns out EXACTLY like you see it in your head when you start. That happens so rarely. This is for a friend at work that just had his first baby - a girl. He named her Vennela which means "moonlight". The "moon" is a gold paper with some white mesh stuff over it, so I thought it looked a bit like golden moonlight. It's very pretty in real life.<br />

<br />
I don't know diddly about goats... or sheep. I was just finishing up my tile trying to convince myself it was worth posting and the boyfriend walks by and says "Looks like the Trix Rabbit ears."<br />
<br />
Well, my heck! Once you see it, you can't UNSEE it, so here's my Year of the Rabbit tile (and a really crooked scan!).<br />
<br />
I'm either 4 years too late, or 9 years early. Your choice.<br />
