Moving boxes

Nice Diva challenge this week (#236), "Tangle on some object you would normally not tangle on".  What should I take, a picture out of a magazine, another thee cup, something of the children... I look around in our living room, and then I know it ! Our living room (and other rooms) is at the moment full of moving boxes, because we start renovating it next week and we have to empty the whole living room.  Also quite a challenge !

So I started tangling on a moving box.  Quite different from tangling on a tile.  The patterns have to be bigger, and a steady hand is needed.  I started friday evening while the childeren where looking another 'K3 is looking for K3' and I finished it yesterday.  My youngest asked if she could have the box afterworths to put in her room with some stuff.  "Because it is to beautiful to throw it away, mam".  I hope you like it too !

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 !

Earth Day

We don't have an Earth Day in Belgium and I've never heard of it before, but nevertheless I participate to the Diva Challenge this week (challenge #214). So, the challenge is to make a tile in the theme of Earth Day.

I made an open earth where everything is possible, were unexpected things happen, where there is a lot of variaton in the different parts of it and a bit shadow for comfort when it's necessary. I hope you like it !

Oostende

My husband and I went for a little trip of two days to Oostende (seaside Belgium).  We wanted to see the  exhibition 'The Sea', composed by Jan Hoet.  There was an exhibition in the museum 'The Sea' plus a walk in Oostende with 11 places where you could see an artwork that had a connection with the sea.  We enjoied it a lot, especially because we had marvelous weather these 2 days.  We also visited The Atlantic Wall in Raversyde, with some remains of WWI and WWII.

Here a little zentangle I made during this trip, with the see and the tilling you see everywhere on the Belgian seawall.  I used Fanz, Agua, Frillee, Nipa, Printemps and Bubbles. I made it while I was looking at the sea from the terras of our splendid hotel, sitting in the sunshine. And we could also look to a beatiful sunset in the evening.
