Some gems in Flux

For the Diva challenge #290: duotangle of Flux and Nzeppel. I created some gems in the flux.

Birthday

It was my birthday last week and I got this great surprise of my husband and daughter. They bought me a new I-phone cover, made of one of my own drawings. I wasn't aware and did not know they looked into my zentangle drawings to find a good one to place on the cover. They have chosen the Mooka. Nice isn't it !

If you are interested in ordering a cover for your cell phone with your own creation, you can visit the website of Case Company.   The quality of the covers and the service are very good !

And this is the original drawing from which the cover picture was taken:

Challenges Square One September 2016

We had quit a stressful month September (due to the school start and illness of myself and my husband).  But, I was glad I could 'escape' sometimes in the challenges of this month.

Beeline
This is a pattern I already know from the beginning of my zentangle period.  So I surely made a tile with it.

Crezendo
A not-so-easy Crezendo with Tipple as background.

FiFe (FiVe)

I always thought the name of the pattern was Five, but now I see it is in fact Fife.  I made a nice Fife tile in the round, with a dew drop in the middle.

Garlic Cloves
Lovely pattern is this  ! For my tile I was inspired by our kitchen placemats

Challenges Square One August 2016

Time to publish my tiles of August 2016.  Due to the extremely good weather we have her in September, we spent a lot of time outside, so no computertime...

Week 1: Striping
Oh nice ! Finally time to make the tile that is already a few months in my sketchbook.

Week 2: Abeko
Nice pattern, with lots of possibilities !  I made a lovely tile after a visit to an exposition with some pictures of  refugees...

Week 3: Oke
OKe, no time, no tile...


Week 4: A-Dalpha

Week 5: Viaduct
We were on our Holliday in Germany, were I made this tile of our visit of the Lava Keller in my holliday sketch book.

Eifel Mountains Germany

We spent our family holliday this year in Germany, more specific in the Vulcan Eifel Mountains near Daun. It's a beautiful region, we did some nice walks there.  We mostly had (very) good weather, so relaxing by and swimming in one of the Vulcan lakes was also on our program.  I made some nice tiles there in a lovely summer-sketchbook, and I publish them here as a reminder to our Holliday.

Hathi and other animals

A while ago I discovered the templates of Ben Kwok he publishes weekly in the Ornation Creation Facebook group.  Facebook Ornation Creation.  The published templates are lovely to zentangle.    You can also find a photo gallery with results of other tanglers there. Mostly it are templates about animals, and I selected a few of them to create some nice tiles for my children.

The Elephant (#048) for my oldest daughter, who's scouting name is Hathi.

A horse (#022) for my youngest daughter, she still is in her horse-period...  It was an experiment with colour  pencils, but I prefer black & white overall.

And also a rabbit (#003)for her, because she received a real rabbit to nurse for last month.  She gave him the name Nestor.

The squirell (#006) I liked very much, so I made that one for myself

And at last the Dachshund (#170).  Not an easy one this, I had to try it two times before I could publish the result.  The first dog was really ugly, but this one I'm pleased with.

 

And you can see, my shading has improved !

Challenges Square One July 2016

The challenges of this summer month:

week 1: Brrst
A new pattern, and I saw some faces in it.

week 2: Cornerz
That's also a new one for me.  A very nice pattern to experiment with, I'll surely use this again.

week 3: B-Dylan
I did participate to this challenge, but as I used colour in it, I could not publish it in the Square One facebook group.  Instead, it was in fact a tile for the Diva Challenge.  But I'll give it here anyway.

And then I made another one with B-dylan.

week 4: Echoism
A pattern I already know for a long time, so always nice to use it again and try something different.  

Here with Antidots.
