The Diva Challenge and Diane & Carolien's Weekly Challenge:


10/27/2015:  Diane & Carolien's Weekly Challenge  #29 hosted by Diane Clancy & Carolien aka Zandipants:   This challenge is from October 21, 2015 and we are to use the tangles beginning with the letters U-N-D. 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.

I actually made it before the next post!  I'm not late..yay...lol!

I chose tangles that were new to me and enjoyed each one.  Interestingly, DICSO is a tangle that incorporates all  five elemental strokes:  dot, straight line, curved line, S shape, and orb or circle; hence the name.  Refer to Tangle Patterns.   I also used Uni (which I am calling mini Uni - since I drew it a little smaller than intended); also, I think it will work nicely on a pumpkin;  and Narwal - great fun.

All tangles can be found at Tangle Patterns .

10/28/15:  I just viewed some of the entries - wonderful.  There were several tangles used that I never heard of - nice learning experience.  If you haven't viewed some of the other entries, please do!  PS:  I am unable to leave comments on some of your sites - I apologize, but the tiles were fabulous.

Here is my entry for Diane & Carolien's Challenge: U-N-D

The Diva Challenge #240: Birthday Leaves:

This challenge, October 20, 2015, is to "Be inspired by the season",  whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter where you live...and....as per the Diva:  "Just go where your heart takes you."  Here is the link for more information: The Diva Challenge.  Thank you Diva for this challenge.

I kept this simple.  I drew these leaves (actual size; on the picture plane) over the summer.  I transferred the image to a Zendala tile and used the tangle Leaflet, by Helen Williams.  I wanted to use a leaf tangle for this challenge.  (I am saving Oke for November).  I did not fill in the background so that the leaves and Leaflet would stand out.

Here is my DC #240 entry:

Tangle:  Leaflet; Leaflet variations

Tan Zendala tile; Brown Micron Pen; 

Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils

  Looking forward to seeing what you've done.
