Paradox and Diva Dance for Diva Challenge #301

Yes, two lovely patterns in a duo tangle for this weeks Diva Challenge.  Paradox and Diva Dance are two of my favorites, so here are the tiles I made for this challenge #301.

I suffered a whole month with a bad vision, I changed my ordinary lenses into multifocal lenses - so I should not use a reading glasses any more to make my drawings.  But, not a great a success in the beginning !!  My eyes have to adapt to the new lenses, for reading and for looking far away.  I hope in another month it will be all right again, so I can continue to zentangle with a good and clear focus !

Spring

Spring is the Diva Challenge of this week (#264), so I tried to put a lot of flowers in my tile: Henna Drum, Zinger, Fassett, Diva Dance.  And I used a sort of a spiral or a rope in the middle with Snail in it.  In dutch the word 'spring' means in fact 'to jump', that's were the rope comes up.

And so far... no realy spring weather in Belgium up till now; it's  cold and rainy almost every day.

Star wars space ship

This weeks Diva challenge # 216 is to use the pattern 'Brella' (by Bunny Wright).  It's a new pattern for me, but I found it a very pleasant one to do.  And as mai 4th is in America 'star wars day', I made the effort to seek some pictures of star wars I could use for my tile.  I was not aware about this 4th mai as a star wars day, but my housmates surely were ! So, I learned also something about them...

I found a nice picture of a space ship and used it for my tile.  Below I also post the picture I started with.  Besides Brella, I used also Diva Dance, Ahh and Strircles.

Starting point:

Challenges April square one

I really enjoied the Square One challenges of this month.

Week one: Nipa
Trying out some dewdrops

Week two: Fanz
My first renaissance tile

Week three: Jetties
First I did Jetties and meringue
And it inspired me to another Jetties with only circels: Cirquital, Crescent Moon, Betweed, Fat man

Week four: Diva dance

I combined Diva dance with barberpole and BB and added some black. And I got some very nice reactions on this one !
