The Diva Challege #237

This week I got caught by the task of 

the Diva Weekly Challege #237: Guest Post - Charlotte Carpentier, CZT. 

A guest blogger Charlotte Carpentier, CZT, proposed to find some sort of stencil, make a string with a dye or spray (it can also be tea or wine, or any other natural colourant), and tangle it. 

So I prepared some stuff, and was ready to start. My 10-year old daughter was eager to join me (the second week in a row (!!!!!) -  it's real fun doing something together). "OFF WE GO!"

Here is what we've got:

My daughter's picture first - 

She stopped somewhere halfway, perhaps she'll return some time later to finish it.

As for me, I've already done three pictures, and I have a suspicion that it is not the end. 

My results so far:

Variant 1. Here I have used red and blue blow pens and red and blue 005 Pigma Microns.

  Variant 2. A page of my art journal. I have sprayed some coffe first, then added on a still wet page some colour with the blow pens, let it dry and tangled with coloured fineliners.

Variant 3. I have sprayed some coffee through stencils on a tile, then tangled blank spaces with brown (01) and coloured spaces with red (005) Pigma Micron. Added some shading.

And these tiles are still waiting to be tangled on.

Thank you both Charlotte and Laura for a great challenge this week!

Photo Cube

A tangled frame

Today I would like to show a frame, which I have tangled with patterns from my new Zentangle Kit
(in Germany you can find it here).













And then I scanned it and played with the frame and my husband's photo in Photoshop a little:

 And here you can see me tangling ;-))).

 

Muster Mixer # 3 (Cadent + Buttercup)

Today I start my very first blog and I'd like to dedicate it to my tangling experience.

I discovered for me Zentangle in September 2014 and can't stop tangling ever since.
This January I had really great time joining a week-end Zentangle course in Hamburg with CZT Anya Lothrop. I understood how wonderful it feels to share your passion with somebody else. And that's why I'm here today.

Starting with December 2014 Anya Lothrop offers a monthly challenge called "Muster Mixer". You can read about it in detail here: in German and in German and English. Link to the latest challenge is here.
And here is what I have done for it (I start with the latest).

February 2015: Muster Mixer #3 (Cadent + Buttercup).

Then I tangled this one.

First I tried on a small Bijou tile.

And then I just couldn't stop ))):

 January 2015: Muster Mixer #2 (Arukas + Balloya).

 

December 2014: Muster Mixer #1 (Mooka + Rixty).
