Rise above

This weeks challenge at Divas was to create a tile using bales with the non-dominant hand. It's not one of my best work but, yes it did get better by the end of it. After drawing the string with the left hand i realized that drawing the lines wasn't that challenging as much as tangling the bales. I found that my concentration was even more profound and even though the end result wasn't so great and the shading was - well no words to describe, there was more peace and calmness. Hmmmm something for me to reflect on.

Hope you guys have a great weekend. Enjoy!!

....it's been long...too long

Back for Divas challenge after a very, very long break. Hope the Zentangle family is well and doing good :)

Here's Dex!!

Tuesday seems like Thursday

The way the weather is, it feels its end of the week- when the week has actualy just began. Anyway to get the blues going I decided to tangle and realized Oh I have to yet complete the weekly challenge from Laura which is Kiss my Grid. WHAT!!(keep reading)
As laura says"It brings back fond memories of that sitcom from the 70s about the Diner... what was that called? there was Mel the cook, and i think Alice... and that red-head Flo who's signature line was, "Mel, Kiss my grits."

The big idea here is to draw a string and then use Grid based tangles

Another interesting challenge from Laura, with a little help from B-rad :D got me using tangles which I have never experimented with before.

Thanks Laura!! (n B_rad)

Asuunta 36

This week at "iamthediva" the challenge is to make a tile using the new tangle Assunta.

Elongated figure of eight :D

The tangle took around 5 to 6 mins, but the shading was challenging.

How does one know when to stop?

Have made couple of birthday cards using my new cuttle bug and am pretty excited with the result.

Will post pic soon

Till then good night and thanks for dropping by

Friday...hmmm

Friday is a day to relax ( yeah yeah)

Its that day of the week when I chill, listen to music (what crab as Varun would stay)

the truth is I go crazy on Friday!! Its the day when I reflect and realize the DO LIST is no where half through and the week is coming to an end and there are a zillion things still to do...

One of the thing I forgot to do is upload my tile for this weeks "Iamthediva" challenge (can you imagine that), moi who can't wait for Mondays, as they bring exciting challenges forgot to do so....you can imagine how the week was!!

So this weeks challenge is by Dear Christina( i LOVE her work) and the challenge is opposite attracts...

WOW!! Thanks Laura and Christina, enjoyed it.

When I finished the first tile I wasn't too happy with the string that I had used

and then i drew another string and the result is...

so I am off to finish my to do list and hopefully by end of this weekend all done ( haven't I heard that before...hmmm)

have a great weekend guys and thanks for stopping by!!
