Take one challenge - The Diva Challenge #226 calling for simplicity.

Add one piece of inspiration - Michele Beauchamp's gorgeous Fengle Quandry piece.

Draw one tangle - Fengle.

Use two techniques - Rounding and shading.

Zendala Week

I'm preparing for a Zendalas class. I started with a pre-strung tile like we'll be using in class. I love the added red micron. Tangles: Diva Dance, Florz, Braze, Knase and Shattuck.

Next I thought I'd try a couple using my Mini Mandala Designer by Ravensburger. Tangles: Diva Dance, Betweed and Auraknot.

Tangles: Henna Drum, Tripoli, Fengle, Printemps, and a Hollibaugh 'Nzeppel combo.

And for the Diva Challenge #225, just 2-3 colors, I strung my Zendala with the help of a compass and protractor. I then decided to ignore most of my lines! Tangles: Rixty, Tipple, Static, Diva Dance, Fife, and what I'm calling Psketti. (For all those kids out there who have had trouble saying Spaghetti...you know who you are.) I tangled with a black micron, and because it's been hot here, I decided it needed orange and red (microns) before I decided it also needed yellow. As I didn't have a yellow micron, I used a yellow Stabilo.

Student mosaic, black tiles

Awesome tiles of students' work at our black tiles class. This was the first tile with their new supplies. I am amazed how well they did right off!

Then some monotangle play with Cadent.

And just getting started on some line width and drama. (The closest we come to drama at class would be some patterns, cuz we be chillin!). 

And as usual, time went flying by. Here are a couple more lovely payment envelopes.
