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. THANK YOU to Laura for the opportunity and to all who participate! Because participating in the challenge is important to me, I thought I’d throw out one more drawing this week to go with the ones I shared for the challenge (go see them here, if you haven’t).

The challenge is to use “organic” tangles…I have always loved the ones that evoke feelings of nature and growth. To that end, here is my own submission for the challenge. This is a ZIA in my sketchbook but does use all “real” tangles like Flux, Mooka, Msst, Aura-Leah, and a couple of others. I can’t wait to see the beautiful work that everyone sends in this week. I hope everyone enjoys the challenge.

    This is great and I love the way you have added a little, but just enough, colour.

    This is going to be a good challenge this week. I’m mostly a black and white tangler drawn to more geometric shapes, but I love flowers so I’m off to get out my tile and pen to make a start.

    This was a fun challenge, thanks! I love the organic tangles a lot. Your groupings of tangles flow so well with each other.

    I love that you’ve used black and brown inks together. I’ll have to try that. I also love your ‘overgrown’ garden look :). Great challenge idea. Looking forward to seeing as many of the entries as possible! 🙂 sometimes I get a bit lost looking at them with so many.

    Liked the tiles that you posted with the challenge but your ZIA from your sketchbook is great. Like the black/brown combination. Like how you vary the width of your strokes. Gives a nice depth and highlight to the piece.

    Cari, thank you for saying mine is gorgeous 🙂 🙂 🙂 I used prismacolor colored pencils that I have saved for years for when I figured out how to create what I wanted with them. Zentangle gives me the structure, patterns and contrast that I needed. Very excited and thank you again!!

    Dear Cari, Your Tangle Drawings are so lovely. To my hearts regret, I must unsubscribe from all my newsletters/blog posts. Business reasons require my undivided attention for some time. I greatly appreciate your efforts to help me. With heartfelt blessings to you and yours, Tracy McDonald
