Tickled to Tangle # 76

Because any time I can turn it into flowers, I am happy.

The challenge was to use Trumpits, Oolo and Fjord.
I resisted using Fjord, but quickly used the opportunity to tangle Oolo andTrumpits. As only can happen with the magic of Zentangle, when I did do a Fjord square it spoke to me and I let the pen take over. Fjord became a favorite. I didn't even have the opportunity to add Oolo!
Again, the colored pencils because that makes me happy.

XYP with Knightsbridge

this morning I noticed Knightsbridge on my coffe mug, so I felt inspired to tangle it. I added XYP because that is the Square One challenge. Some printemps to round things out. Some colored pencils for play.

Nice songs on the radio. Nice morning relax and breathe. No tears.

Bijou-ING

The Square One challenge was to use ING. So many wonderful tiles have been posted. I enjoy looking at them so much.
When I first looked at the step outs for ING, I thought I could never be able to do it. But, as the magic of Zentangle unfolded, I realized I was having so much fun doing it!
Last night I was thinking about how much it can look like origami. My son likes origami and enjoys doing it especially Paper Cranes and the story that goes with it. So this morning I felt like do-ING a bijou tile while think-ING about my son. The POZER in the middle is just because I like it.

A new day

There are so many things I love about zentangle. Something I discovered today is that things will always look different next time.
I tangled this yesterday using the string and tangles of Adele Bruno's challenge "It's a String Thing" #68.Last night I thought it just looked messy and was just a bunch of scribbles. This morning, I looked at it from a slight distance and thought it didn't really look too bad! I added some more DripDrop, Jax and shading.
I also tried to keep in mind that shading is not about where the light hits, but, rather, it's about where you want to highlight.

Catching up

I fell behind a few days! Caught up with the tuesday square with inspiration from "its A String Thing" #67 using

Crescent Moon and Cornerz, and today was inspired by Assunta from the Square One Challenge on FaceBook

It's A String Thing" #67

This week's  Challenge  from Adele Bruno of Tickled To Tangle offered us an opportunity to pause and think about the blessings in your life.
Using tangle patterns string 070, write 3 things you're grateful for in the bands of the triangle then use crescent moon and cornerz to do a zentangle.

I came up with 3 things I am grateful for very quickly, but being me, I could not leave out my most important and my most constant blessings: my husband and children. So I added them, not as an afterthought, rather as the centerpiece.

Sometimes, I have to cry.
