Tattoo

My husband wants to have a tattoo, he already talks about it for a couple of years now.  But, he never put the step to a tottoo shop.  Now he asked me to 'draw something' for him.  What should it be ? How big/small must in be ? etc.  I said I did not know how to begin, what he likes and so on.  So he gave we a celic design he likes and saved on his computer a while ago as an example.  Ah, that's a start !  I looked up some celtic designs on the internet, and this is what I came up with.  I made three different designs (in a circle of 5cm), and gave them to my husband for Christmas.  Curious what he will choose now for his tattoo - or may be it becomes still something else.

And this gift also meets the Diva Challenge #248 of last week...

Elsa and Anna Zia

Our children are very fond of the story and film of the ice princesses Elsa and Anna. So I made a ZIA for them of a nice picture out of their colour books.

And as the younghest is still in her horse-story-period I tangled a horse for her. I used a template of Ben Kwok's fb site Ornation Creation for this one (https://www.facebook.com/groups/171809746345318/).  I think I'll visit this group more often to create some nice ZIA's in the future too.

Challenges Square One November

Yes,  we are sitting downstairs again - our living room is finished ! And with a beautiful result.  I even have another piano to practice my choral music pieces. Very nice !

Week one: Verve
Nice curved pattern !

Week two: Cyme
A pattern I like very much.  Here I combined it with Tri-Bee in the background

Week three: paradox

News from Paris .... Unexpected , unbelievable, unfortunate. So i tried to focus on something else and made these flowerish paradox. Focus on something beautiful in live ..., so I created a flowerish paradox.

Week four: Pea Nucle
And here another one for Paris and Brussels, suffering of the terror threath these days.  And as I work in Brussels, we are recommanded to work from home this week.
You can see Pea Nucle, Narwal, pozer, Schway in my tile.

White space

The Diva challenge of this week (#243) is to keep some white space on your tile.  About 60% to 70%.  Whow, what a challenge is this !

I used Verve for my tiles, and I made three of them.  I think my tiles look like some wish-cards, where you can write your wish in the middle.  May be I'll use them for Christmas or New Year !

Challenges Square One October

I'm less focused on creating some zentangles and follow the challenges, due to the renovation of our living room these last weeks.  But, as we 'live' in a spar guestroom with the four of us, it's sometimes good for me that I can focus on my zentangles and leave other things as they are.

Week one: Jalousie
Jalousie and Fengle... looks like a carpet on my tile.

Week two: pokeroot
... is like mushrooms to me.  So here is my Autumn tile.

Week three: Nymph
Whow, what a nice pattern !  But... no time to make a tile at first.  Only after a few days I could try it and made this nice tile.

Week four: W2
I knew the pattern already, but never really used it.  So, now is the time to do so.  I made my W2 tile together with a variation of other patterns (Flux, Jetties, Nymph of last week)

Colourtime

Is was my birthday lastweek and I got some very beautiful coloured pens and watercolour pencils. I wanted to experiment with them immediately and I made some zendalas in my zentangle workbook I baught a while ago.  I still need some practice, but here are already some nice results.  Practicing will be easier now that our living room is finished after three weeks camping in the guestroom and I can sit again on my 'favorite spot'.

Fengle on the Go

Tri-Bee is the Diva Challenge of this week (#238).  It's a nice pattern of CZT Beate Winkler with a lot of possibilities for variation.  I combined it here with Fengle.

It looks like my Fengle is walking. Where does this one go to ?
