Spring is green

Spring is green !
That is the challenge of the Diva this week (#209).  "Spring is arriving, so Green Up your tile."

I used a green pen for my featherfall, and left all the rest in black pen.  So my featherfall really 'springs' out of my tile. I used also Phicops and some leaves of quandary - falling as blossom.

And here... yesterday is was really spring, a lot of sunshine and quite warm.  But today again cold, all day cloudy.  Yes, in March we can not expect already to much good weather :).  But nice we can think of it while tangling !

Here you can see all the tiles posted on the Diva site for this challenge:

Mother and daughter - Using new material

The Diva challenge #206 this week is to use some new tools and material to create a zentangle.  As I am not an artist, and don't have much other material to zentangle than my tiles and my fineliners not an easy challenge. Although... I do have some black paper, and some thick silver felt pens which I bought for Christmas but did not use.  What if I use these now ? Here is the result with two silver pens of 1mm and af 2mm and the pattern Fricle. Quite different though to create a tile with these pens !

On the other hand, my daughter is really an expert in using tools and material to create all kinds of stuff.  Since she knows the zentangle technique, she tries it out on differt things.  She has some beautiful results on schrinking paper with a thick black felt pen.  She makes all kinds of juwerly with is, here you see some examples of her zentangle-earings. She used Featherfall, Kaleido, and Holly

Zentangled earrings

My daughter has always such creative ideas. The loombands mania is a bit less now, so she wanted to do somerhing else. She likes to make objects and juwerly with schrinking paper for instance. And she tried to use zentangle patterns to create them. She made some zentangled earrings and I think they are fabulous ! She used the patterns bales, featherfall, kaleido, cadans, nzeppel and some patterns of herselves: sixties, auraleaves ... May be one day she starts a webshop with her creations. 

And here an example of the earrings before schrinking
