Here is what I have going on, because I was out of it, I missed the fact that yesterday I wanted to direct you to visit Suzy over at her blog SuzyMosh Creations because on Sundays she is running a "That's new to me" weekly challenge. This week was to use a Tangle that was new to you that started with the letter T.
Since I wasn't feeling so hot, I decided to combine some of my challenges into 1 tile. :) Of course that means for the rest of the week, I'll be coming up with lots of stuff on my own, but I've got stuff I have to do, so that's good!
So anyway, my T tangle, the other day I used Twing for the first time... and struggled iwth it a lot. So I decided that since it's really new to me, that would be my T tangle.
Then, Laura over at the I am the Diva posted her weekly challenge (seriously, check these out. These are such great ways to learn new things and to be creative even when you thought maybe you weren't feeling it)
Hers was to use Hitch by HeidiSue which tied in GREAT with Twing... Ok, I'm on a roll here!
My CZT group is back to doing challenges and this week was Vega, more diamonds! WOOOHOOO.....
and since I was all in at this point, why not add the Square One:Purely Zentangle focus tangle in too? That one was XYP! Wow, apparently diamond based tangles were the thing this week!
So... I put them all in together.
And I got this...

| Twing, XYP, Vega, Hitch |
Anyway, so those are some of the challenges I really like... you should try them if you want. They are open to everyone!
I also started planning a new class, it's top secret for now... and I've been practicing for it and I've recruited a few
And then... finally, I did my Tangle a day calendar yesterday and today.
I reserve the right to add to these 2, I don't love either of them, but I'm not at the top of my game either yet.
Maybe I need chocolate. :)
Anyway... so show me what you've got going on friends! I can't wait to see!
For today, I added some stencilling and stamping to the cover of my sketchbook. It's handy, so I keep adding to it periodically. :)
ReplyDeleteI do that too! I like to add to stuff!
DeleteYour tile is quite true to the actual Zentangle form. Sometimes we get so caught up in challenges that we forget the Zen part, which has to do with the process, not the outcome. Even so, your tile is very nice. Relax and enjoy the process :)
ReplyDeleteThat's true. It really is true to Zentangle and that was really nice to focus on the Zen aspect!
DeleteBeautiful job on your tile! I did the New to Me challenge too! Think I will work on Diva's for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI love trying new things!
DeleteWay to combine! Good tile.
ReplyDeleteThey all seemed to go together, and I didn't even TRY to make them go together when I started, they just did!
DeleteThanks for participating in the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI think Jean is right. I need to get back to the Zen part of it. That's probably what my problem was yesterday!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's my biggest problem. :(
DeleteI love how you combined all the challenges in a true zentangle. NICE!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletewhat a great combination of tangles! I love how xyp goes so well with Hitched! excellent!
ReplyDeleteI think that was my favorite part was how they went together so nicely!
DeleteMy creativity of the day was the diva challenge!
ReplyDeleteMine probably will be most Mondays!
DeleteI picked up a small sketch book and more pens...slightly obsessed with the pens...I thought it would be drag for working on things while out and about, plus to put practice drawings in...here's my day 5/300...there are several more, but this was my son's favorite.
ReplyDeleteI have a slight pen "problem" myself! :D I might need a 12 step program for pens!
DeleteToday my challenge was to do my first Zendala it was more relaxing than I thought it would be.
ReplyDeleteI love Zendalas!!!! One of my favorite things to do!
DeleteBoth patterns look wonderful together - you nailed it Kelly!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lila!!!!
DeleteYou definitely win the prize for multi-tasking all your challenges. Hey, if it works, why reinvent the wheel? And the tangles you had to use do compliment each other-- so it's all good. I hope you continue to feel better. Headaches make it hard to do anything.
ReplyDeleteLove that you post regardless of you loving the outcome. I like the tile though.
ReplyDeleteIf I waited til I had things I thought were "right" I'd never post. Last year pushing myself to post 300 pieces of creation was really freeing. I stopped worrying about it being right and focused on being in the moment. It's helped a lot!
DeleteThat's the spirit, whatever the outcome, it is OK!!!! Lovely tile.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying! There are going to be lots of times i don't really like what I come up with... I know me pretty well, but I'm still going to do it, put it out there and create!
DeleteLovely tile! Great use of the tangles!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I did like how they worked together!
DeleteWhat a great combination of diamond tangles, the stars be in alignment this first week of the 2015. Your new class sound mysterious and fun, can't wait to see the results your "volunteers" come up with!
ReplyDeleteSo many diamonds! :D
DeleteLove your Post, as well as your Challenge Tile. Wonderful Zen feeling. Well done, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteIs always a plus when you can combine things that you are doing. Like how you varied the size, making them smaller as they progressed.
ReplyDeleteLovely tile. I too like that all the challenges helped to create a lovely work of art. I have thought about just doing the Square One once a month and combining all the ones for that month into one tile.
