Undulated tangling

This weeks Diva Challenge #231 posted by Sharla Hicks is to do some undulated tangling using the C ans S-shape.  I'd never heard the word 'undulated' before, so I had to look it up first.  It's like 'curving', oh that's nice.  I also like curved lines very much. So I started to tangle immediately with the C and S shape, and made these series.
I liked the Sherla Rella, so I used it in all the tiles.

Last weeks Diva Challenge #230 was to make a zendala, using the proposed string published on the Diva site.  I had never made a zendala up to now, and it was nice doing so.  I'm quite happy with my result.

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 !

Baby Q

Last week a new baby elephant was born in Planckendael, with the name baby Q for now.  That reminded me of a drawing in my sketchbook I made last year in the elephant Temple of the Zoo in Antwerp. It's a kind of Oriental /Egyption inspired building for the elephants. I wanted to make a zentangle of it, but I never took the time to really do it.  So, with the new born baby I finaly wanted to create my tile.

I used the new pattern Fat Man in my tile.  Fat Man is a pattern of my own and based on the drawings and signs around the elephant temple.  You can see some pictures and the step-out for the pattern down here.
