At a time when the world is overrun with terrorism and fear, I thought bringing a little peace to bear was appropriate. For those who celebrate, I wish you a peaceful Thanksgiving. For those who don’t, I still wish you peace. I encourage and appreciate sharing!:

Rising to the challenge
Last week I promised myself I’d at least participate in the I am the Diva weekly challenge. At the same time, I decided to participate in an ATC swap (Tangle Your Initials), which I’ve never done. So, to make things easier on myself (since I’ve been traveling literally every week for the last month), I […]
This week, *I* am the diva!
This week, *I* am the diva! This week’s weekly challenge on Laura Harms’ I am the Diva site is…MINE! I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to do a guest blog and challenge.

Happy Monday everyone! This week’s Diva challenge is a guest post by CZT Jen Crutchfield and encourages the use of color–something I can always use more of.

Three challenges in one

I Am the Diva is always good for a new challenge, and this week’s focused on Flux, a tried and true tangle that Rick and Maria only just published in the most recent Zentangle newsletter. Bonus–there are two […]
Now I know how Kermit the Frog feels
…because it’s not that easy being (or tangling) green. This week’s I Am the Diva challenge #209 is “Saint Patty’s” with the instruction to go green. Welllll….first I tried this tile with a mixed green watercolor pencil wash and a compilation of tangles evoking thoughts of spring. (I am so far from Irish it felt […]
