Dreamcatcher

The first week of every month @TheDiva is Use My Tangle Week and this week its DreamCatcher by Daniel Lamothe. Its a beautiful new tangle for me with lots of possibilities but.... yes but this week is one of those crazy week where nothing is going as planned and I haven't got around playing much with it.
Here's my take on it...simple...I so wanted to color it but crazy week....Have a great weekend!

first post for 2016!!

What!!Really??
Where has the time gone....hmmm...should I blame it on sheer laziness to upload the things I have created or blame it on my fingers for not allowing the thoughts in my mind to be expressed and thus  getting frustrated irritated or blame it on procrastinating. I have been pushing this way too long...so what brought the change...


And I realize it doesn't matter- a line or two or a whole page, weekly, daily, ...just put it out there...so here's the first of 2016 with Diva's #285 challenge which I like to call "Exhale"



Thanks for stopping by...have a great week...

Hello Bloggy Friend's,

Thank you for all the lovely comments on my art journal page...happy, happy, happy :)

How are you all doing in your little corner of the world? Is the weather treating you well?
Am from Mumbai, India and the weather here is crazy. It's HOT in the morning, Cool breezy by noon and HOT again in the evening and COOLER by night. Just can't seem to make up its mind :)

After I had finished my Starry night page, I jumped into page two with great enthusiasm, which hit a roadblock soon. I was using distress ink and gelato's over gesso which would not just dry. I tried putting matt gel to seal it, but dint help. Then after heat drying for almost two days the distress ink finally dried. But then was not too happy as the sunflower was getting lost in the yellow. So changed the background to blue - sunflower was looking too lonely and I was getting too frustrated :(

the journey...

Anyway, I was not going to give up- so after layering and correcting I finally finished page two with John Denver's sunshine on my shoulders...Will revisit this page again soon...

The Finale

The Chinese are celebrating their New Year Xin Nian Kuai Le ...and according to Chinese astrology, each Chinese New Year is associated with an animal sign, occurring in a 12-year cycle. This is the year of the Goat and at the Diva's we are celebrating it too incorporating the symbol of goat in the tile. Here's my take on it.

Wishing Ming and Manish a very Happy New Year.

Mookatine and a beginning of a journey...

Hello lovely bloggy friends... this weeks challenge at Diva's is to create a tile using Love as a theme... and here's my take. A mooka entwined :) 

Since a very long long long time I have been wanting to create an art journal and in December I finally started one. I decided to use songs which I enjoy listening to as a start up and here's the first one. The journey was difficult. It took me almost a week to get to this, but I had made up my mind that like Zentangle there's no mistake and I just kept on going and this is the result. 

...suggestion, criticism, feedback most welcome. Thank you and have an amazing week ahead :) 

...more crazy...

Some more crazy Betweed which I never got around posting :)

Challenge #203

This weeks challenge at Diva is to Use My Tangles brougth to you by Eleanor Holt - and it is called Athitzi. A very simple and fun tangle to use. Enjoy and have a great week :)

Betweed crazy

Betweed is one of my all time favourite tangle. I have to consciously restrain myself not to use it in all the tiles, so when I saw this weeks challenge at Divas I was yipeeeee!!(jiggly wiggly dance)  Yeah!! Quickly pulled out my tile and here's what I created. Am sure by the end of this week I am going to end up creating lots more!! Happy Betweed-ing :)

Thank you for all the lovely comments on my previous post. Have a great week!

190 @ The Divas

This week challenge is to create a tile using the color pink in honor of those who are battling with Breast Cancer. Having lost friends and family members to one form of cancer or the other, here's to hope, strength and memory

Rixty at 163

This weeks challenge at The Divas is to use Rixty the official tangle. My first go using this tangle brought some loopy results and I decided to use it as a string for the other tile. This is a fun tangle and I can see myself using this more and more! Thnx for stopping by! Have a great Easter!

Thank you Anne and Kate feels good to be back. Have been away for too long, had lost the mojo ...but yeah rediscovering and reconnecting :)

Reflection of my mind :)

Aquafleur monotangled for Divas #152 challenge. 

Focus…refocus

My take on Diva's "One little word" challenge is Focus. I tend to loose track of my priority and do often get carried away in mundane things or just forget what that I was suppose to do. I start a task, something comes up and I leave the current task and and start something else and next thing I know there's a trail of unfinished things…So here's my ZIA…and hoping that I can bring some FOCUS in my chaotic multitasking world.

Boo*Kee this week!!

Just about made it to this weeks challenge @ Divas after a very very long time

B+ve

The world awaits every Monday,

As the Diva keeps the blues away,

A life not a bed of rose,

But with a grin she keeps you on your toes,

No challenges keeps her away,

Laura's a millionaire in every way.

And a new tangle B+ve  :)

Enjoy and have a great week!!
