Lighthouse - Diva challenge #229

It's a while ago I made a post for the weekly Diva challenge, but the challenge of this week #229 had my attention.  (And also because of the time I can spend during the holliday's ofcourse)  The guest blogger Sandy Hunter asks us to focus on the white part on your tile. 

I still had a sketch in my sketch book that I dit not work out so far, and I thought is was perfect for this challenge.  It is a sketch of a new modern lighthouse that was build in Oostende (at the sea side in Belgium), and my husbend and I  saw it during our Easter holliday's there .  It had a big red pattern on the front, and I decided just to leave that part white in my tile, so it draws your attention.  I used Betweed, ING, Crescent moon, pearls for the lighthouse.  For the background I used Shattuck and Paradox.

I also post my tile for the previous challenge #228 of guest blogger Cari Sultanik, where we had to make a tile which looks organic or natural.  I post here my Cirquital tile I made last week for the Square One facebook group.  It it full of natural elements.

Momorial flowers and ING

Since October and November in Belgium was all about momorials and remembering WWI, it was a lot in my head too.  Especially because we gave two momorial concerts one in the beginning of November, and one at the end.  Two different locations and also two different choral groups and programs to perform but twice momorial songs with some memorial flowers. Everyone had to put a  little poppy on there (black) clothes, to have a nice homogeneaus group on stage. 

On the last concert we had to wait about tree hours (!) before we could perform, and fortunately I had  my scetch book with me.  I started a zentangle with some simple poppies and some strings. Then I saw the challenge on the facebook group ' Square One: Purely Zentange' to use ING and shading this week.  I took my momorial tile again to finish and ING just fits into it.  Don't you think so ?

And here our memorial poppy

A star ING for zentangle challenge #184

I just could'nt stop with challenge #184 of "I am the diva" http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.be.  So I made another one: a star ING.  In the beginning I found it not so succefull with Puff-O at the border, but then I added Roel to the tile. And then the feeling...yes this is it ! I let you share my joy of creating a nice tile.

Zentangle challenge #184

I'm not yet that familiar with the 'zentangle-world' and so for the first time I use a zentangle challenge.  Challenge #184 of ' I am the Diva ' gives us the pattern ING to work with.

After a few trials in my scetchbook here's is my result.  I used ING and Quib in my tile.  My housemates love it. Hmm, maybe I look also to next weeks challenge...
