This week's Diva challenge #199 is to use HeidiSue's tangle Hitched. Mine is in my art journal using a standard Zentangle® tile that I traced around in pencil. Meer accompanies Hitched in one, and Maryhill in the other. I really enjoyed shading with my new Cretacolor Monolith woodless pencils. They are really smooth.
I also wanted to share my calendar update. I pulled apart my calendar from this post, kept some pages I refer to often, kept the pockets for tiles, ATCs and added Bijou size, reused my cover (it's holding up quite nicely) and added this new divider tab. I replaced the calendar pages to give bullet journaling a go. Since I'm a list person, it seems like a good fit for me. If you're interested in bullet journaling, check out this short video. I re-bound(!) my book using my Bind-it-All and ... Ta da I have a new journal.
Tangles used: Maryhill, Quipple, Rain and Vega. I used my new Cretacolor Aqua Monolith woodless pencils. (Santa was good to me!) They are beautiful, but I'm afraid I need more practice with them.

Betsy, your hitched tiles are just so elegant! I also love how you traced the tiles and overlapped them. I envy how you use your journal as actual art space, while my sketchbook is more or less "scratch paper" to try out ideas or pattern steps. I have a beautiful little journal that I am too afraid to sully with a potential dud! Your journal cover is just beautiful, and I bet the inside is just as lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour Hitched Tiles are awesome, Betsy, Your Pearls, lines and shading are so perfect. Your Zendalla is also beautifully designed. I am impressed with you skills.

ReplyDeleteOh WOW, your hitched is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteBetsy, I keep coming back to look at your two "hitched" tangles....the execution of them reminds me of fine jewelry...either design would make a beautiful cuff to adorn a wrist..."Bracelets by Betsy" has a wonderful ring to it, N'est pa?
