Tangle within a tangle - Diva challenge #252

HIt's a while ago that I participated to the Diva Challenge, but this week it was such a nice challenge that I simply could not resist it.  The challenge is to 'tangle within a tangle ... like an inception'.  What should I take for a tangle... I dit not have to think long about it.  Cadent ofcourse, one of my fovourites from the beginning.  And is has such nice circles in it, just perfect to practice my gems-technique.  I hope you all like it !

And here the link to the Diva site where you can see the posts of all other tanglers:

Gems

As I saw many beautiful zentangles with gems in it during the Christmas hollidays, I also wanted to give it a try.  It wasn't that difficult after all, and fun to learn a new technique.  And I could use my colours ! Here you see my results - I am especially fond of the blue one.

Winterland Hasselt

We always try to make a day trip with the family during the Christmas hollidays.  It's always nice to do something together in a relaxed way, we all enjoy these days.  Last year we visited the China Zoo project in the Antwerp Zoo.  You can find a post of it on my blog.
This year we decided to visit Winterland in Hasselt.  We visited the town first in the afternoon and did some shopping, and in the evening we went to Winterland.  It was a nice and beautiful Christmas Market with lots of attractions, beautiful stalls and lights and yummy food.

My husband took a formidable family picture in a kind of superlarge Christmass ball full of light.  You can see the picture down here.  It inspired me to make a zentangle of it.  Nice, isn't it ?  I used the patterns Narwal and Ahh for it.

And here is the picture.

Challenges Square One December

Already the last week of another year.  I am tangling now for about a year and a half, and I still love it.

Week one: Steps
A new pattern to me, and I like it very much.  Plenty of possibilities for variatons.

Week two: Drupe
Oh, I love this one !

Week three:WUD
This is a tangle I know.  I already used it a lot in my tiles, but without knowing it was WUD I used.  Here I combined it with Arukas and Undling

Week four: Ixorus
Nearly Christmas, and we already put the Christmas tree in our living room.  Always a nice family moment with the children.  So I decided to make a tile with a tree and a sepertine in it for this challenge.
