The Diva Challenge. Thank you Diva for this challenge.
What a strange feeling! I usually post very late in the game, but as you can see, last week I had fun practicing this tangle.
So, I actually have something that I can post. Here is my entry for the Diva Challenge "Gourdgeous": A Narwal cornucopia with Gourdgeous and Sampson.
Narwal - Sam Taylor
Gourdgeous - Official Zentangle
Sampson - Official Zentangle
10/31/15 Diane & Carolien's Weekly Challenge #30 hosted by Diane Clancy & Carolien aka Zandipants: This challenge is to use the tangles beginning with the letters O - A C. Your choice of tangles, and/or add others as well. Here is the link: Diane & Carolien's Weekly Challenge
Thank you Diane & Carolien for this challenge.
For some reason I struggled with this one. I was trying to combine tangles (e.g. tangeleations - variations of a tangle; hybrid/tangos - combining tangles to form another). My first selection of tangles were Abundies, Camelia, Opus and then I added Oolo. I couldn't decide on a warped grid or free-form, so I did both. I was over-thinking it, so when I was working on the grid based tile, I had to just let go and pick up the pen and get to work. I am not sure how I feel about it, but here it is. But, in the spirit of Zentangle: "appreciate." The free-form ZIA was easier and Onomato was the logical choice with the combination of tangles.
Here are my ZIA entries:
Tangles: Oolo, Opus (basic), Abundies, Camelia
Zendala Tile
Tangles: Onomato, Opus (variation - basic), Abundies and Camelia
Stonehenge paper (cream)
Tangles:
Abundies - Hanny Waldburger, CZT
Camelia - Anne Marks
Onomato - Zentangle
Opus - Zentangle
I am looking forward to seeing what you've done.

I think both organic tiles are beautiful. The second one is my favorite; probably because it is 'loose'
ReplyDeleteYour Gourdgeous is...well...gorgeous! Did your white pen run out of ink like mine did when I practiced it? :-) I love your final free-form tile best of all, I think! It flows so beautifully, and your take on Camelia is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job with Gordgeous! Love your ZIA entries as well.
ReplyDeleteLovely pieces. I particularly like the Gourdgeous with the web and the one with Narwal. Both really shinel in the round.
ReplyDeleteI love the spider web gourdgeous and the narwal one.
ReplyDeletebeautiful work, i like all your tiles
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these wonderful tiles. I especially like the tile with Narwal. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, and congrats on being # 1...!
ReplyDeleteLovely creations. I love the Narwal horn of plenty!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful work. Wow!
ReplyDeleteWow, this Narwall/Gourdgeous is stunning.
ReplyDeleteEvery one of these is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pieces! Especially I like the last one! It´s very elegant!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces!
ReplyDeleteYour Diva tile is fabulous. I love the narwal cornucopia...what a novel idea! And your gourdgeous gourds are truly gorgeous as well. Your other tiles are beautifully done as well, but I do think I like your last free form one better than the gridded one. Beautiful work; all of it!
ReplyDeleteDragonfly, your Diva is lovely!! Glad it worked out!! I thought the first O-A-C was very nice until I saw your 2nd one ... and that one is amazing!! Thank you for joining in!!
