Diva Challenge #210/ZIA Meditatives/Mandala-Zendala Template

Sadly, Laura posted on her blog that Artoo was in the emergency room yesterday.  My thoughts and prayers are with Laura, Artoo and family.

This week I am posting two works in progress...and one completed challenge.

The first is Diva Challenge #210: "Spiralstring - that's the thing".  Even though The Diva suggested that we use a simple spiral, I used Ben Kwok's Nautilus template.  I've wanted to try his templates for a while, saw Nautilus in his uploaded file and gave it a try.  I really enjoyed working on this one.

Here is this week's challenge (updated 4/3/15):

The next entry is from ZIA Meditatives (also a FB group).  Using Google Translate, this challenge suggests the following: Often, seldom or never used patterns!  (Suggested from "Yoga for the Brain", by Sandy Bartholomew).

Create 16 squares

Leave the top left box empty

In the top column use a basic tangle (box 2-4)

In the left column use a tangle that you use often, or seldom

In the remaining boxes, combine the tangles.

Here is my entry:

I enjoyed this process and will revisit this challenge.

And lastly...I created a Mandala/Zendala template using Genevieve 's Mandala Stencils for a future Zendala class.  Here is Genevieve Crabe's link:  Tangle Harmony

Basic template - NM

Thank you for visiting and thank you to those who have taken the time to leave a comment. They are appreciated!

 Cheers and happy tangling.

Have a great week.
